Educart practice MCQ books for CBSE Boards are really a good choice for students or not, and if they are, then why?
As the November CBSE Term 1 Board Exams are approaching, stress and excitement is building up in students regarding Term 1 Pre-boards and obviously, Boards. The Exam pattern for the first time in a decade has fundamentally been changed to 100% MCQ based and in two instalments (following the draft guidelines of NEP).
NCERT books are not equipped to provide enough practice for New Pattern MCQs. NCERT Exemplars are outdated and only available for technical subjects like Maths and Science. Also, Assertion/ Reason, Mixed-type and Case Study type MCQs are not even available in Exemplars when now such questions comprise 50-60% of Board paper pattern. So, students and teachers are resorting to online videos/ courses and private publisher books.
One book publisher that has grown exponentially in the last 2 years, especially in the CBSE Books domain is Educart. We did a survey amongst 20,000 students from all over India and more than 45% of CBSE students are estimated to be buying Educart books, to practice this new pattern. This is also confirmed by the Amazon and Flipkart rankings of Educart MCQ Books. So we decided to do an unbiased critical analysis of whether Educart practice MCQ books for CBSE Boards are really a good choice for students or not, and if they are, then why?
To do this, we did a 360 degree research project where we identified certain x-factors that a good MCQ book should have. Also we:
Based on the above, below are the findings of our research that are presented in a simplified manner. Please note, this is done to help everyone get an honest assessment of Educart Books.
Educart Sample Paper Books and Question Banks for Term 1 Board Exams that we found from Amazo
1. Strictly based on CBSE Latest Pattern or CBSE Sample Paper 2021
Sample Papers (and Marking Scheme Solutions) uploaded by CBSE on 2nd September 2021 are the basis on which Board Papers will be 100% conducted. They provide a clear pattern for setting the MCQ Term 1 Board Paper with all the new pattern MCQs.
Any good Paper-wise Sample Papers Book should strictly follow the paper pattern and must contain sufficient all new types of MCQs as per the CBSE Sample Paper.

2. Good Quantity of MCQs
For reference books like a Question Bank, there should be at least 10-20 MCQs of each type in each chapter, to allow the students practice relevant/sufficient questions from each topic.
Similarly, for a Sample Paper Practice book, it is good to have a combination of Solved and Unsolved Papers with all the possible new type MCQs and provide the students with enough practice.

3. Quality of Explanations
It is not just the quantity that matters but also, the quality of answers in a book. These explanations/answers must clear the basics of the question with minimum possible errors so the students can easily relate to and recall the concepts they learnt from NCERT.

4. Theory on Reduced Syllabus
To give a brief introduction to the chapters’ theory, a book can have theory in the beginning of each chapter. From the Term 1 Board Exam perspective, quick notes can help summarise the chapter for students before they start practicing Sample Papers. But most importantly, irrelevant and out of syllabus topics and subtopics should not be there.
Educart Review:
Educart Quality Check: 3/5
Overall, very positive Reviews as seen on Amazon and Flipkart of Educart
5. Realistic Cost
The cost of a Sample Paper book depends on all the features it provides within a certain number of pages. If a book at a price of ₹200-300 includes 8-10 Sample Papers out of which most are unsolved then it is not worth the money at all.
