The BoardPrep Pattern Challenge: Practise the 2026-27 Board Pattern and Compete

What the free BoardPrep Pattern Challenge is, how its questions follow the 2026-27 CBSE pattern, and how school, city and all-India leaderboards work.

Previous year papers show you what CBSE *has* asked. The Pattern Challenge is for what it *could* ask: 82 new questions written on the 2026-27 board pattern.

How it works

  1. Pick your class and subject.
  2. Answer a round of pattern-style questions: MCQs, assertion-reason and competency-based questions like the ones in the sample papers.
  3. After each question, read the step-by-step logic, not just the right option.
  4. Your score goes on the leaderboards.

Leaderboards

You can compare your score with students from your school, your city and all of India. It's a simple way to stay motivated with friends.

Why practise new questions too?

Competency-based questions test how you apply a concept in an unfamiliar situation. Old papers are essential, but if you only memorise them, a new framing can still catch you out. Fresh questions in the same pattern train you for that.

Cost
