Q1What is the primary purpose of a praśna-patra blueprint when Sītā designs a Sanskrit unit test?

A To make the paper longer so more questions appear
B To map each item to a learning objective and skill with planned marks
C To keep all questions at the remember level only
D To rank learners before the test is even taken
Explanation

The key is B because a praśna-patra blueprint, built on Tyler's objective model, maps every test item to a stated learning objective and skill with planned marks per cell, keeping coverage and weighting balanced. A confuses length with planning; C wrongly fixes all items at the remember level, under-sampling higher Bloom levels; D claims pre-ranking, which a blueprint never does. Only B states the objective-to-item mapping that is the blueprint's defining purpose.

Q2Match each theorist with the concept a Sanskrit teacher applies in evaluation.

A Bloom–taxonomy; Vygotsky–ZPD; Krashen–affective filter; Tyler–objective model
B Bloom–ZPD; Vygotsky–taxonomy; Krashen–objective model; Tyler–affective filter
C Bloom–affective filter; Vygotsky–objective model; Krashen–taxonomy; Tyler–ZPD
D Bloom–objective model; Vygotsky–affective filter; Krashen–ZPD; Tyler–taxonomy
Explanation

The key is A because the standard attributions are: Bloom's six-level cognitive taxonomy, Vygotsky's zone of proximal development, Krashen's affective filter, and Tyler's objective model. B, C and D each rotate or swap these pairings — the most frequent REET trap on this topic — so a learner who memorised one concept but not its owner is pulled to a wrong row. Only A keeps every theorist with the concept the Sanskrit teacher actually applies.

Q3Sītā gives a śloka dictation and uses the result to plan tomorrow's re-teaching. By purpose, this assessment is:

A Summative, because it is a written test
B Formative, because the result feeds the next lesson
C Diagnostic, because it gives a final grade
D Neither, because dictation cannot be evaluated
Explanation

The key is B because a tool is formative or summative by its purpose and timing, not its format. Sītā uses the dictation result to plan re-teaching during the learning cycle, which is the defining mark of formative assessment. A judges by format; C confuses a final grade (achievement) with diagnosis; D wrongly claims dictation is unscorable. Only B applies the purpose discriminator the topic stresses.

Q4The RBSE Sanskrit (Optional) syllabus names three evaluation tools for this topic. Which set is correct?

A Oral, written, diagnostic
B Oral, written, ranking
C Written, project, attendance
D Oral, diagnostic, terminal-only
Explanation

The key is A because the RBSE Sanskrit (Optional) anchor names exactly oral (maukhika), written (likhita) and diagnostic (nidānātmaka) tools. B swaps the diagnostic tool for ranking, which inverts the syllabus purpose of locating errors; C drops the two named oral and diagnostic tools; D adds a terminal-only restriction the anchor never states. Only A reproduces the three-tool set verbatim.

Q5Mohana recites a śloka, mispronounces one svara, then self-corrects after a single teacher cue. Using a scaffolding-aware rubric, how should the teacher score this?

A Zero, because any first-attempt error means total failure
B Full marks, ignoring the initial svara error entirely
C Mark only attendance, since recitation cannot be scored objectively
D A mid-band score, crediting the cue-supported self-correction
Explanation

The key is D because a scaffolding-aware rubric, following Vygotsky's zone of proximal development, credits what the learner can do with minimal guided help. Mohana self-corrected the svara after one cue, so a mid-band score recording both the initial slip and the supported recovery is correct. A uses harsh all-or-nothing scoring; B ignores the error and loses the uccāraṇa criterion; C wrongly claims recitation is unscorable. Only D applies the rubric and the scaffolding principle together.

6Under the NEP-2020 holistic progress card, how should Sītā report Ravi's Sanskrit progress?

AA single class rank such as 'Ravi: 18th of 40'
BOnly a pass or fail label for the term
CA competency-wise picture, e.g. 'recognises śabda-rūpa reliably; applies kāraka inconsistently — remediation in progress'
DAverage of all subjects merged into one Sanskrit grade

7A diagnostic test shows Ravi repeatedly writes the caturthī where the dvitīyā vibhakti is required. What should the teacher do next?

AAward a lower grade and move on
BRepeat the same terminal paper unchanged
CPlan a short kāraka-focused upacārātmaka drill, then retest
DTell Ravi to memorise the whole śabda-rūpa table again

8Which statement best captures what makes CCE (satata evaṃ vyāpaka mūlyāṅkana) 'comprehensive' in a Sanskrit class?

AIt holds more frequent written examinations
BIt records only vyākaraṇa marks each month
CIt removes oral recitation from assessment
DIt covers scholastic and co-scholastic growth, including attitude and participation

9Consider two statements. (I) An achievement test measures how much of an objective a learner reached. (II) A diagnostic test ranks learners from first to last. Which is/are correct?

ABoth I and II are correct
BOnly I is correct
COnly II is correct
DNeither I nor II is correct

10Assertion (A): A low-threat oral recitation check gives a truer picture of a learner's Sanskrit speaking skill. Reason (R): A high-anxiety test raises the affective filter and hides real ability. Choose the correct option.

ABoth A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
BBoth A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
CA is true but R is false
DA is false but R is true
