FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything students and parents usually ask about tests, marking, timing and results.
Is it free?
Yes. Both Homi Bhabha practice series, Std 6 and Std 9, are free. Create an account, enrol with one click, and every paper in the series is open to you.
How are the papers marked?
Each practice paper has 25 questions worth one mark each, with no negative marking. Unanswered questions score zero. The marks are shown on the paper's instructions page before you start.
Can I leave a paper and come back later?
Yes. The practice papers have no time limit. Your answers are saved as you go, so you can close the page and continue where you stopped. A paper is only submitted when you click Submit, and each paper can be attempted once.
When can I see my results and the correct answers?
As soon as you submit. You get your score straight away, and you can review every question with the correct answer and an explanation.
Can I download or print my answers and explanations?
No. To keep the papers fair for every student, questions cannot be downloaded, copied, printed or captured. Your full review, with every question, your answer, the correct answer and the explanation, stays on your result page on the website and in the app, so you can revise from it whenever you like.
Does the question order change for every student?
Yes. In the practice papers, both the question order and the option order are shuffled for each student. Whatever order you saw is recorded exactly, so your result stays accurate.
Can I use this on my phone?
Yes. The student portal and the exam screen work on phones and tablets as well as computers, including the question navigation palette.
