- B. Ask learners to compare evidence and explain why one conclusion is stronger.

- A. Behaviourist drill-and-practice.
- B. Constructivist learning, where the learner builds understanding through experience.

Frequently asked questions
What is REET Level 2?
REET Level 2 is the Rajasthan Eligibility Examination for Teachers for upper primary classes (Classes VI to VIII). It is conducted by RBSE (Rajasthan Board of Secondary Education) and is the eligibility test required to apply for Rajasthan government teacher posts at the upper primary level.
How many marks are required to qualify REET Level 2?
As per RBSE qualifying norms, general category candidates need 60% and SC, ST, OBC, PwD, and women candidates need 55% to qualify REET. The exact cutoff and any category relaxation are confirmed in the official RBSE notification for each cycle.
Is there negative marking in REET?
No. REET does not have negative marking. Every correct answer earns one mark and incorrect or unattempted questions do not reduce your score, so attempting all questions is generally advisable.
What is the REET 2026 exam date?
The REET 2026 exam date is announced by RBSE with the official notification. Aspirants should rely on the latest RBSE notification and the official REET portal for confirmed dates rather than unverified circulating schedules.
What is the REET Level 2 Social Studies syllabus?
REET Level 2 Social Studies covers history, geography, civics (political science), and economics, along with teaching methods for social studies. Child Development and Pedagogy is a separate compulsory section. Our beta covers the Social Studies and CDP scope as per the RBSE syllabus PDFs; Math/Science and Language I/II are not in the current beta.
What is the eligibility for REET Level 2?
To appear for REET Level 2, a candidate generally needs a Bachelor degree along with B.Ed or a recognised teacher training qualification such as D.El.Ed, as specified in the RBSE notification. Exact eligibility, including final-year appearance rules and equivalent qualifications, is confirmed in the official REET notification for each cycle.
How is REET Level 2 different from Level 1?
REET Level 1 is for primary teachers (Classes I to V) and REET Level 2 is for upper primary teachers (Classes VI to VIII). Level 2 includes a subject-specific section such as Social Studies or Math/Science, while Level 1 focuses on primary-stage pedagogy and language competence. Eligibility qualifications also differ between the two levels.
How many questions are in REET Level 2 and what is the time limit?
As per the latest RBSE pattern, REET Level 2 has 150 multiple-choice questions for 150 marks with a time limit of 150 minutes (2 hours 30 minutes). Questions are distributed across Child Development and Pedagogy, Language I, Language II, and the chosen subject group. Any pattern change is confirmed in the official RBSE notification.
How many times can I attempt REET?
There is no fixed cap on the number of REET attempts as long as a candidate meets the eligibility conditions for that cycle. The validity of a qualified REET score and any rule on re-appearing to improve the score are defined in the current RBSE notification, so aspirants should refer to the latest notification.
Is REET the same as CTET?
No. CTET is the central teacher eligibility test conducted by CBSE for central government schools, while REET is conducted by RBSE specifically for Rajasthan. For Rajasthan government teacher posts at the primary and upper primary level, a REET qualification is the state-specific requirement; CTET alone does not replace it for Rajasthan recruitment.
Is REET Level 2 Social Studies ready first?
Yes. The noindex beta is focused on REET Level 2 Social Studies with Child Development and Pedagogy. Math/Science, Level 1, and Language I/II are not first-beta tracks.
Can these pages be indexed now?
No. They stay noindex until reviewed content, real REET-scoped practice data, Hindi review, sitemap checks, and Search Console URL inspection gates pass.
Are the draft MCQ batches shown here?
No individual draft packet is shown as source content. The noindex beta practice flow uses the staging REET taxonomy scope after sign in; production and indexed use still wait for import-ready manifests and release duplicate clearance.
Is this beta free?
Yes. REET Level 2 beta pages, syllabus view, topic notes, and the first practice paths are free while the Social Studies + CDP scope is reviewed.
How do I report a bug?
Use the feedback button in the app and include the REET page URL, topic name, language, and what went wrong.
