Full explanation
What this paper is
This is a practice paper, not a board paper. Class 7 sits no board exam, and the books carry no marked test of their own. The shape here is the one a school commonly uses, so that sitting it feels like the real thing.
What it covers
Chapters 1 to 6. How science works, acids and bases, circuits and their components, metals and non-metals, physical and chemical change, and adolescence. Nothing from the second half of the book appears.
How the 80 marks are laid out
Twenty one-mark questions with four options. Twelve two-mark questions and six three-mark ones, all written. One case-based question worth six, built on a passage. Two long answers worth six each.
How to spend three hours
Give the twenty one-mark rows about twenty-five minutes together. Do not argue with yourself over one of them. Mark it, move on, and come back. Leave a clear half hour for the two long answers at the end.
Marking your own work
Every written answer here has a marking scheme beside it, split mark by mark. Mark yourself against it honestly. A point you meant but did not write down does not score. That is the most useful lesson a practice paper teaches.
What to do with a lost mark
Write the chapter number beside it. When the whole paper is marked, see which number appears most often. That chapter is where your next hour of revision belongs, and the paper has then done its real work.
