What is a Pairing Scheme?

A pairing scheme is an outline detailing the contents of an exam question paper. It is the basis on which an exam paper is set. It outlines how much of the paper will be set from a specific chapter in the course. Furthermore, it specifies how many Multiple-choice Questions (MCQs), Short Questions and Long Questions will be set in the paper from each chapter.

Generally, a 9th-class exam paper is divided into three sections:

• Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs)
• Short Questions
• Long Questions.

The MCQs each carry one mark, short questions carry two marks, and each long question carries different marks in different subjects. The number of questions in each section also varies with each subject.

A pairing scheme is given to the paper setters, i.e., our teachers, to aid them in setting the paper. It is designed to ensure that the papers are fair and balanced and that all topics are given equal weightage.

Imagine how helpful it will be to you in the preparation for your exams. Not only will it encourage you to have a directed preparation approach, but it will also save time in the preparation.

How to Use a Pairing Scheme?

A pairing scheme allows you to avoid the brunt of work and prepare extremely efficiently to skate past the outskirts of the whole syllabus.

This can be exemplified in the case of a student who, for some reason, does not have enough time to go through the whole syllabus. In this case, he can use the pairing schemes and prepare selected chapters, ensuring he passes the subject with flying colors.

Students can also combine the pairing scheme with past papers to make a guess paper. This will give you a solid idea of the questions that have a great chance of being asked in the exam.

Despite the availability of pairing schemes, past papers, and guess papers, we always encourage the students to prepare all the chapters as there is no better alternative to complete preparation. Complete preparation will eliminate any minor chance of the student being hit with an unexpected scenario during the exam.

Parting Words

A pairing scheme should not be a go-to for any student. The first preference of a student should always be complete preparation of the subject’s coursework. Pairing schemes should be used as a targeted approach after complete preparation, and in rare cases, complete preparation is not possible. Good luck with your exams.
