The Plus Two public examinations seem to have started off on an easy note as students and teachers said that the Language I paper on Friday was an uncomplicated affair.
H. Goutham of Geethanjalee Matriculation Higher Secondary School said that the paper was simple with a lot of repeat questions asked and no unpleasant surprises. As such, he said that he expected not less than 96 marks out of 100.
There was also plenty of time for revision and checking whether the registration number and other details had been entered correctly. However, he says the major papers are likely to be a lot tougher and he was going over the entire book in all subjects to score centum.
Mydilee K.V. of Vidya Vikasini Matriculation Higher Secondary School is sure she is going to hit the centum in Tamil I paper. Combined with her own revision, the preparation given by the school ensured that the Tamil paper was a smooth sailing.
R. Srinath of S.B.O.A. Matriculation Higher Secondary School said that questions were so easy that the ‘average’ students would also be able to score in excess of 80 marks. Even the objective-type questions were along the expected lines thus enabling students to score easily.
