How each paper is marked here

Where KPK Inter Computer Science candidates lose marks

  1. Number-system conversions left half done — Binary, octal and hexadecimal conversions are marked on the working column; stopping at the remainders without reading them in order loses the answer.
  2. Truth table or logic diagram with one row wrong — A single wrong row or an unlabelled gate costs the whole question’s accuracy mark.
  3. Code that is correct in idea but not in syntax — Missing semicolons, wrong operators or an unclosed block in a program or HTML question are credited only partially.
  4. Definitions with no example — Short questions on networks, systems and software expect a definition and one concrete example.

Questions teachers ask

Is Class XII covered?
Not yet. We have only the Class XI Table of Specification.
Is the practical included?
The Table of Specification assigns 10 percent of the cognitive weight to practical application inside the 75 marks; the separate practical is not covered.

No. Boards of Intermediate and Secondary Education, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa marks the real exam. This is examiner-style marking of mocks and homework for KPK Inter Computer Science. Only you see the marking, and you decide what reaches the student.
Do you reproduce past-paper questions?
No. Every Class XI paper here is original and written to the slo-based model papers and tables of specification for hssc annual-i 2025 and onward (kptbb books), bise peshawar, in the same structure as the real papers shown above.
Which papers are marked?
None yet are marked question by question; Class XI · Section A are scored instantly. Practical exams sat at the centre are not marked here.
How is the next paper chosen?
From the marks a student lost: the concepts behind them are ranked by marks dropped, and the new paper weights those topics. It is the same syllabus and structure, with new questions.
When are the exams?
Annual-I and Annual-II series. Grades A++ to U (IBCC scale).
