Introduction
Assalam o Alaikum Class 12 FBISE Students! this page provides the old FBISE PBA model papers based on the Scheme of Studies 2006.
These papers cover HSSC Part Two, also known as Intermediate Part Two or Class 12, Practical Based Assessment under the older scheme, and remain useful for reference or for schools that are still following the older pattern rather than the updated Curriculum 2022 to 2023.

Covered Subjects Under the Old Scheme 2006
The old Practical Based Assessment covers the same four subjects from the Science group as the newer scheme.
Old PBA Status and Pattern
The old PBA is based entirely on the Scheme of Studies 2006, which predates the 2022 curriculum updates. Knowing exactly how this older format is structured helps students and schools decide whether it still applies to them.
- Total marks are 15 for most subjects, while Computer Science carries 25 marks.
- The time allowed for the paper is 1 hour.
- The paper is divided into two sections. Section A covers the main experiment and carries 9 marks, while Section B covers short questions and carries 6 marks.
- The focus stays on experiments, calculations, and viva style questions rather than long written answers.
- PDFs of the model papers can be downloaded, and sample content is included below.

FBISE Class 12 Old PBA Pattern, Scheme 2006
The purpose of this older assessment is the same as the newer one in principle, to measure practical skills through experiments, observations, and calculations rather than pure theory.
Format: Section A covers the experiment and an accompanying viva component worth 9 marks, while Section B consists of short questions worth 6 marks.
Instructions: Students must answer within the spaces provided, use a black or blue pen only, and calculators are not permitted.
Subjects: This older PBA format applies only to the Science group, covering Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Computer Science.
Sample Physics Old PBA Content, 2006 Scheme
Here is a sample question based on a circuit diagram used to find an unknown resistance X in the laboratory.
i. What is the name of this experimental setup? (01 mark) ii. What should the deflection of the galvanometer be at the time of taking l1 as the balance point? (01 mark) iii.
The model paper provides a data table with columns for the number of observations, the resistance R taken from the resistance box, the distance of the balance point D from end A, referred to as l1, the distance of the balance point D from end C, calculated as 100 minus l1, the unknown resistance X, and the units for each quantity.
Students are asked to complete the missing entries in this table based on the readings recorded during the experiment. (05 marks total across the sub parts) iv. Find the mean resistance X. (01 mark) v. On what principle does this circuit work? (01 mark)
The same practical style continues across the other subjects. Chemistry papers focus on anion and cation tests, Biology papers include tasks such as plotting a blood group graph and identifying bones, and Computer Science papers include writing a profit calculation program and building a class called triangle.
Preparation Tips for Old FBISE Class 12 PBA, 2006 Scheme
- Focus on the experiments listed in the old syllabus, such as the resistance circuit experiment in Physics or salt analysis in Chemistry.
- Practice calculations, recording observations, and drawing diagrams clearly, since these are graded closely in this format.
- Compare this older pattern with the new SLO based PBA to understand exactly what has changed between the two schemes.
- Use these old papers for school tests if your institution is still following the 2006 scheme rather than the updated curriculum.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which subjects are included in the old FBISE PBA? The old Practical Based Assessment covers Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Computer Science under the Scheme of Studies 2006.
How many marks does the old PBA carry? Most subjects carry 15 marks, while Computer Science carries 25 marks, and the paper must be completed within 1 hour.
Is the old PBA still relevant if my school follows the new curriculum? The old papers remain useful mainly for reference or for schools that continue to follow the 2006 scheme, while schools using the updated Curriculum 2022 to 2023 should prepare using the new PBA model papers instead.
What is the main difference between the old and new PBA formats? The old format carries fewer total marks, a shorter time limit of 1 hour, and a stronger focus on viva style questions, while the new format is SLO focused, carries more marks, and allows 2 hours and 30 minutes for a wider range of experiment based tasks.
Conclusion
The old FBISE PBA model papers give Class 12 Science group students and schools a clear picture of how practical assessment worked under the Scheme of Studies 2006, from the shorter time limit down to the exact style of experiment and viva based questions. Whether you are using these papers purely for reference or because your school still follows the older pattern, HSA Notes provides experiment wise guides and past solutions to help you prepare with confidence.
