CBSE PSA 2016 for Class 5 & 8 Student

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) will conduct PSA Exam for class-5 and class-8 in all schools. A separate Problem Solving Assessment will be held for all Winter Closing Schools in November 20, 2015 for the academic session 2015-16.

The students will have the option to improve their PSA Score in Class V, as they can sit for the test with Class V students of the Session 2015-2016 in January – February 2016. The best scores will be reflected in the final certificate in case of those applying for improvement. 

CBSE's problem-solving assessment now may be asked to be conducted at Classes V and VIII instead of Classes IX and XI. CABE is also likely to recommend certain changes in the CCE, like two term-end exams-one to be conducted by the board and other by schools.
