Subjects Covered for Both Classes
The Practical Based Assessment applies to the same four Science group subjects at both the SSC and HSSC level.
- Physics
- Chemistry
- Biology
- Computer Science
Old Scheme Versus New Curriculum, What Is the Difference?
Before diving into any model paper, it helps to understand the two schemes currently in circulation, since schools and boards are gradually transitioning between them.
Old Scheme, 2006: This format follows traditional, well established experiments, carries comparatively lower total marks, and is completed within a shorter time limit. Questions tend to focus on direct observations, straightforward calculations, and viva style short answers based on the experiment performed.
New Curriculum, 2022 to 2023: This format is built around Student Learning Outcomes and is noticeably more analytical, asking students to interpret data, complete tables, work through calculations in more depth, and sometimes plot graphs. It carries higher total marks and allows a longer duration compared to the old scheme, reflecting the additional depth expected from students.
Both formats are still relevant depending on which scheme a particular school or board session follows, which is why this page keeps both versions available side by side.
Why This Matters for Class 10 and Class 12 Students
For Class 10 students, the Practical Based Assessment introduces the habit of recording observations accurately, following a set procedure, and presenting results in a clear table, skills that carry forward directly into the more advanced Class 12 practicals.
For Class 12 students, the assessment becomes more demanding, especially under the new curriculum, since experiments increasingly ask for calculated quantities such as unknown resistances, percentage error, or curvature measurements rather than just recorded readings.
Understanding which scheme applies to your class and session before you start preparing saves a great deal of time, since practicing with the wrong pattern can leave gaps in exam readiness.
What You Will Find in Each Model Paper
Every model paper on this page, whether old or new, whether Class 10 or Class 12, generally follows the same underlying purpose.
Section A focuses on the main practical task, which usually means performing or working through an experiment, recording observations, and completing a data table.
Section B follows with short questions that test understanding of the principle behind the experiment, the reasoning behind each step, and the interpretation of results.
Across both schemes, students are expected to answer within the spaces provided on the paper, use a black or blue pen, and avoid calculators, since the entire point of the assessment is to demonstrate practical understanding rather than computational speed.
How to Use This Page
Since both classes and both schemes are gathered here together, the most efficient approach is to first confirm which scheme your school or board session follows for this academic year, then move directly to the detailed model papers for that specific class and scheme published separately on HSA Notes.
Each of those detailed pages breaks down the exact marks distribution, time allowed, and sample questions for every subject, including full sample content for Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Computer Science.
Preparation Tips Across Both Schemes
- Identify early whether you are following the old 2006 scheme or the new 2022 to 2023 curriculum, since preparation strategy differs between the two.
- Practice every experiment listed in your syllabus at least once, focusing on the procedure, the observations, and the final calculation.
- Keep your data tables neat and complete, since incomplete or poorly labeled tables lose marks even when the final answer is correct.
- Revise the principle behind each experiment, not just the steps, since short questions and viva style questions often test conceptual understanding directly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this page include both Class 10 and Class 12 PBA papers? Yes, this page covers Practical Based Assessment model papers for both SSC Part Two, Class 10, and HSSC Part Two, Class 12, under both the old and new schemes.
How do I know which scheme applies to my class? Your school or the official FBISE notifications page will confirm whether your session follows the old 2006 scheme or the new 2022 to 2023 curriculum, and preparation should be based on whichever scheme applies to you.
Are the same subjects covered for both classes? Yes, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Computer Science are covered under the Practical Based Assessment for both Class 10 and Class 12.
Where can I find the detailed marks and time for each scheme? The detailed marks distribution, time allowed, and sample questions for each class and scheme are published separately on HSA Notes, and this page serves as the starting point to reach the correct version for your needs.
Conclusion
With both the old and new Practical Based Assessment papers for Class 10 and Class 12 gathered in one place, students no longer need to search separately across multiple sources to find the correct preparation material. Once you confirm which scheme applies to your class and session, the detailed subject wise model papers on HSA Notes will guide you through exactly what to expect, so you can prepare with confidence well ahead of your practical exam.
We will keep this page updated as FBISE releases further notifications or additional model papers. Bookmark this page and share it with your classmates.
Best of luck for your PBA!
