## Marking your attempt

- CBSE awards step marks: compare each line of your working with the scheme, not just the final answer.
- Note where the scheme accepts an alternative method, so you know which shortcuts are safe.
- Check how marks split inside the long-answer and case-study questions, then time those blocks.
- Sit the paper in 3 hours without breaks, then mark it with the scheme the same day.
