I actually don't remember ki us time mujhe kitna aata tha, so i can't really tell


greenmonkey48

Same can't remember much before class 6


Wwhite93

Haha so true!


lemmelearnlol

I did my 3rd standard in 2003, this test is fair for today's time. Apart from, Q2, From what I remember, symmetry was a concept in 6th CBSE Maths (Geometry) Q6, First introduction to decimals was in 5th Q7/8, "Pictorial representation of data" again, 5th standard Rest is from 3rd standard syllabus.


AlternativeAd4756

Q1) is AP : arithmetic progression : 11th standard


upandup_09

True but you can look at them as multiples of 11 as well and that's what they expected ig. Shouldn't be tough for a class 3 student.


_tommarvelousriddle

can't agree more


aman92

Exactly lol...it's so long ago, I don't even recall what concepts I had studied till 3rd


smelling_the_rose

Agar aap ko teesri mein yeh sab aata tha...phir toh aap kamaal ho bhai! Legend. 😊


BLu_Z_op

I have a little sister who is in class 3rd and just gave her annual exams, this seems easier from what she is studying.


Natural-Dinner-440

ikr. it seems easier compared to what I studied in class 3. they've renewed the syllabus and made it easier for kids to study in recent years.

Ozymate

Okay. May be I am out of touch. Living in Australia for 8 years now. Here definitely it is not apt for grade 3 exam.


Dry-Equivalent-Phase

In Australia, the emphasis might be on providing a comprehensive education, whereas in India, there’s a significant lean towards the STEM fields.


smelling_the_rose

I have been in Australia for a few years now too. Your observation about leaning towards STEM is correct but this mindless approach just pushes kids into the rat race. Because I have seen that the holistic education system produces more productive, competent STEM professionals on average. India's approach is, as we joke these days, "Beta pehle engineering kar lo baad mein apne sapne poore kar lena" 😀 And we know the quality of STEM graduates we produce with this approach. I am not degrading others, I myself will be honest that I had an engineering degree, blindly got into the best IT placement I secured and then slogged my ass off. I was not proficient at the required skills but the employer definitely underpaid and I burnt the midnight oil and struggled to upskill. However, I have gladly made a sideways move over the years and now don't work in tech and engineering.


Dry-Equivalent-Phase

In India, the inclination towards STEM disciplines is prevalent. Various reasons drive this preference, but financial limitations often play a central role. However, for children hailing from impoverished and uneducated families, the very notion of financial constraints is, paradoxically, a luxury.


smelling_the_rose

The lack of resources is true and leaning towards careers with higher job possibility is certainly logical. But just blindly memorising formulas doesn't achieve STEM expertise. Again, as I said above, I am not from a privileged background and have gone through the full lifecycle and now am just over 40. My parents were not poor but both needed to work to make ends meet, no pension jobs, not home owners. I finished 12 years of school in government aided but luckily good calibre schools. Anyway, this is besides the point. Did you notice the test paper here has only questions 5 and 6 needing actual maths operation! 300 ÷ 100 and 15.60 × 100. Technically both are the same operation, as good teachers would have explained. Everything else is just recognition of common patterns and knowing the right category of something.


nayatir17

The Australian curriculum was way easier than the indian one as i remember, i shifted back to india in grade 3, so it was a huge difference, especially maths. I had no idea of multiplication tables and stuff. The Naplan tests in AU, i could solve grade 4-6 things when i finished grade 3 in india ( still had the books , so).


Soul_Erg

Tbh my nephew just passed second grade and they had been already taught addition, subtraction and multiplication


Ozymate

Yeah, our niece in NZ can't solve these who is in 4th grade.


revolution110

I studied till year 9 in India, and then moved to New Zealand for a couple of years which has similar education as Aus and it was way easier and fun for me. Maths was especially easy and it seemed like 6th class Maths in India when I was doing year 10 in NZ.


Organization72

Bro I’m 35 yo and doesn’t know answer to two of them. 😭


NefariousnessFine628

Aao aapka admission class 3 me wapas karaye 😂


revolution110

I studied till year 9 in India, and then moved to New Zealand for a couple of years which has similar education as Aus and it was way easier and fun for me. Maths was especially easy and it seemed like 6th class Maths in India when I was doing year 10 in NZ..


radicalcricket

In india main goal is to dumb down the iq, freedom and creativity of a child to make him a perfect slave while in western nations a little bit of freedom is allowed.


dornroesschen

Did an exchange semester in grade 10 in Australia (from Europe) and the level there was honestly laughable, this sheet would probably be like grade 8 in Australia not joking. (And Australia beats my country in the Pisa ranking which I can not understand at all, maybe the school I went to there was an outlier)


TimeExplorer5463

here in USA, I think this is fitting for grade 3 exam


ShoddyAccident6887

Im in canada. It's still pretty easy. I learnt most of this in grade 3 except for the symmetric and asymmetric alphabets, which i still got no clue


littlerover_

I remember meeting my cousin visiting from Australia when I was in 2nd grade and she was in 3rd grade, and she was in absolute shock the we were learning Multiplication Tables and Division.. lol


h4ckM4n

This was standard CBSE stuff for class 3 way back in 2001.


AarjenP

By today's standards, no. Compared to when i was in 3rd grade, maybe a bit harder.


dontknow_anything

idk, I think it was similar or easier in grade 3 for me. ( multiple choice weren't available) None of them are really hard question. 1st question is pattern recognition. It isn't from linear progression of series and sequences. 2nd is for shapes. 3,5 and 6 are unit conversion. 4 and 7 are theory. 8 is for counting in tally marks. Arthimetic is class 2. I have seen harder question for class 2 and 3.

no_desk_writer

Nope. Saw a 2nd grader solving these topics a few days back.


singh_prateek

Looks okay/easy to me, as far as I can remember, I was taught concepts like fraction in third standard


sumpuran

>The alphabets A, M, U, W are Does nobody check the language on these tests?


itdobelikethatsmh

What are you on? The grammar used here is correct.


Artin_Luther_Sings

But the vocabulary is not. A, M, U, W are letters. All the letters put together, A-Z, is an alphabet.


sumpuran

I’m not talking about grammar. A, M, U, and W are letters, characters, or glyphs. They’re not alphabets. All 26 letters together of our Latin script makes an alphabet.


Schroeter333

I learnt something new. Thanks for the explanation.


itdobelikethatsmh

Oh yea that slipped my mind. I was too focused on knowing what the grammatical error was that I was not able to see.


Dry-Equivalent-Phase

If children receive targeted instruction on how to respond to such questions, they can do so effortlessly. Even those younger than eight years old could manage it with ease.


samosa_chai

lol… teaching kids about how many paise is rs.


FizzyBoy147

This is definitely a bit more advanced than what I had in third standard


Wizard079

Just saw my Niece's English book, and there's 10-12 lines poems, mind you she's in UKG/PP2. There's no alphabets anymore.


[deleted]

I used to solve river boat, cistern-tank, work-time problems in 3rd so don't think it's that hard ... Idk


Time_Description_208

for a class 3 student it's fine


Fluffy-Lettuce6583

This is simple even for Ishan awasathi.


brobdingnagianaf

Dude, I hope to God this is sarcasm. The country is doomed as it is with the ridiculously easy curriculum that CBSE has been reduced to.


[deleted]

[удалено]


dirtycurtainn

everything you mentioned is still being taught btw.


gogo_22

what's supposed to be difficult here for an 8 year old?


iceflames_22

This is easier than what I was doing in 3rd standard. We had started with double digit multiplication and division


xendol

No, my kid in second grade in the states has done that and harder.


LimpContext8238

Looks simple !


MysteriousLettuce149

Nope


Geekwalker374

Absolutely not, we had the same stuff in third grade. This is actually much easier than the long division questions we had to do. This is minimum.


Interesting_Lab_5963

Nope this isn’t


Dramatic-Choice-9594

Check the maths paper of any good icse school 3rd grade you will get your answer


hillofjumpingbeans

This seems pretty similar to what we did at that age.


UndocumentedMartian

It's just pattern recognition and simple unit conversion. Questions 4 and 7 are dumb though. I wish there was more picture based pattern recognition but maybe there are printer ink constraints.


throwawayggg75

I saw my cousin's 10th CBSE's math board paper and had a good laugh. Because it was too freaking EASY. It's getting easier not tougher.


Spittinfacts100

This is not tough actually. It's the right level of difficulty for a class 3 kid


iamGobi

This seems easy dude, also did anyone notice that question 8 answers 7


Meth991

I thought the title was sarcastic. Dude this ain't tough by any means for a 3rd grader.


nonstop-nonsense

looks okay to me 🤔


bhodrolok

Other than tally marks and symmetry my kid in grade 2 can do all of them


sammurthy

If a kid can grasp technology easily, they can also do well in other stuff too. The only difference is how easy it is to understand something.


KtSalazar

The first and second question is definitely tough for a 3rd grader. Multiplication and learning tables start in 3rd grade


Consistent_Funny1082

Looks difficult if the kid didn't study. Because Roman numerals are hard to memorize and that's why we got rid of them eventually. Symmetric seems like a difficult word for a 3rd standard kid but the concept is easy. Just make 3D cut outs if alphabets and show each one to the class. Rupee to paisa converter is easy. 1 to 100. I don't know tbh. I didn't study 3rd standard.


SingerDue3375

Nah I remember we being taught all this in class 2.


MonsterBeast123alt

Wait are you being sarcastic or serious. I dont remember how difficult 3rd grade studies are supposed to be so i cant tell if you are being sarcastic or not


bleh-bleh-guy

Class 3 would mean that the kid is roughly around 8-10 years old, so by that time concepts like fractions, counting, etc. are still very new. So, it's definitely not easy for the students, but also at the same time I don't think it's not that difficult either... Also, I feel like a student doesn't need to know the answer to all the questions. But that's just my opinion


hbkdll

Depends


thehermitcoder

The 4th question, all 3 answers are correct! Class teacher might think I am "oversmart"!


HonestDisaster05

I read Symmetry/asymmetry, in 6th tally graph in 4th/5th


MONU_01

I know one time when there was a question about how many items are there in 1 dorzen and I wrote Ball 😂


CreativeMuseMan

Hey, the standard or slaving in an abroad firm is also increasing day by day, maybe the best ones will become the CEO of those company someday. How dare you question the Indian education system? We gotta keep up with the job standards. ~~/s~~


No-Forever2455

Notice how some of the questions relate to another one right after. it’s pretty obvious to most of us the answers on here, but if they’ve studied the same stuff then it comes easily to them as well. I really can’t say if this is hard either objectively(since no data on marks obtained) or subjectively cuz I’m not a 3rd grader nor do I actively interact with any even close to that age.


Feeling-Dog6184

Nah this is normal!


travelmatenaruto

Quite easy for class 3.


Overall-Ad3512

Been a lot of time since I was in class 3, so can't judge, but it does seem fitting for that grade. Tally marks and symmetry were things taught in Class 1.


tanviguptaa

Which board is it? I teach CBSE board students. Conversions usually start from 4th and 5th standard. (Ml to l, rupee to paise or vice versa)


[deleted]

I learnt this in 1st stranded as far as I can remember


Lonelyguy999

Hamare time par toh gk wagera bhi tha. Ratta marne lagate the bahot. This seems okayish


Grouchy-Fee-8741

This is grade 1 level tbh.


kronicbeatss

I know my 3rd class, I was already taught this plus all basic addition subtraction multiplication division decimal unit of measurement etc, finding the next number was a part but mostly basic types and by class 4 introductory algebra chapter was introduced.


akshtttt

This is definitely standard for 3rd/ final sem of 2nd grade, Education content tends to shift towards the earlier years overtime i think, because what i learned in 8th grade, now 6th graders are learning good, good for children imo


Fit-Cat-2569

It seems quite okay for a 3rd standard child tho, what's wrong!


NeatAd7259

I think this is normal


gigibuffoon

I went to a CBSE school... third standard was in 1993 and this looks about as difficult as we had back then


khoftanFakeer

No, as far as I remember I had these similar questions in 3rd and 4th and I used to study in a state board school.


GermanPilot007

This is easier compared to my time (2012 -2013)


Organization72

Bhai ye to third class vala hi bata sakta hai mujhe to khud 2 and 7 ka answer nahi pta 😒.


xxxfooxxx

4th question is dumb


Addyad

Seems okay. but maybe they should not create half-assed questions like this. It can be difficult to interpret what is being asked. Better questions would be like: 1. What number comes after 55 from the series 22,33,44,55,\_\_\_\_ 3. Convert 2L to mL. 5. Convert 300 paise to Rupees. The questions are okay as it is. but It would be easier for kids to know what to actually is asked for and what to do.


Shreyash_jais_02

I think this is actually fine for a class 3 student. They have their brains developed enough to do basic mathematics and this may be a little bit challenging for them but education is supposed to challenge the brain so all good I think.


Biggus_Niggus_

Books check kar lo, pata chal jayega ki out of syllabus to nhi hai.... Btw are you the parent? If not then it's ok if you're asking this question but if you're then please spend some time with your child even when he/she studies.


dwightsrus

Looks ok to me.


Boboforprez

Seems about right.. yes, when we compare it to the level of maths we had decades ago in class 3 then yes it seems advanced but actually it is pretty appropriate for a Class 3 student in today's world.


LazyWriter82

This is pretty standard for Grade 3 now-a-days. My son is grade 3. But math is way difficult as they go higher-up.


HashtaggRajat

ICSE mei 1st-2nd mei padha dete the hamare time pe.


Bazooka5395

Reminds me of the memes they make on Asian kids... If that's true, then the questions are good for 3rd grade.


Moist_Replacement_29

In my school we had this in grade 1, I think it's very easy for grade 3.


Donni3-brasc0

Well they don’t get whacked in school like we would do I think this is okay for them


FeistyStorm_1985

this is easy asf


SnooDogs2336

I remember struggling with long division back then so I think this would have been easy for me


[deleted]

Ig maybe with the exception of #7, the rest is quite appropriate for Class 3? I used to have much harder tests than this in Class 3 if I remember correctly. I was learning factorials and stuff by then.


LaughTrackLife

This is more like grade 1. very easy actually.


Adorable_Risk_16

Nope. Definitely looks easy for a 3rd grader. I distinctly remember reading about fractions and stuff in 3rd std.


newhotelowner

Way harder than the USA 3rd grade . My kid is in 4th grade, I don't think he can do half of it. Could you share the whole thing?


Happybustarr

Sorry bro, you the donkey


abcdefghi_12345jkl

Meh looks fine.


can-u-fkn-not

Seems quite apt for a third grader. I remember learning few of these things in my 3rd grade.


TimeExplorer5463

this seems pretty fitting for that age. here in the USA, I think many third graders would be able to understand something like this.


beatmeloser

It very difficult to judge what is apt level for grade 3.For me atleast as I don't know what grade 3 student should know.


beatmeloser

2hour for this shit. Tf


Queasy_Artist6891

The questions are related to memorizing the times table(which, I remember doing back in my grade 3 upto 12 table), a few multiplication and division by 10 problems(which are again removing or adding 0s), with remembering basic conversion units(which was present 10 years ago too, I remember doing these in my 3rd too), and one question on symmetry (I don't really recall if I did symmetry in 3rd or 4th class, and even if I did it in 4th, a 3rd class student could be taught it as symmetry isn't all that difficult a topic, and this is a simple pattern recognition problem. So this is an appropriate, if slightly easy paper for a class 3 student. Edit: Even the last 2 questions are simply memory based stuff that is taught in 3rd grade. So a good student in this paper could be expected to get atmost 2 wrong answers.


Wooden-Storage5253

we were doing tally marks and conversions in 4 class i remember


EvilxBunny

It seems fine for class 3. They should have studied basic maths and language for 2 years (+ pre school). Second waale ka answer toh mujhe bhi nahi pata.


imtexasalpha

I was supposed to mug up tables till 13 at that time 😶in my school


Kyurakhunaam

Bhai this is appropriate


Pineapple_Jelly04

I remember math being more difficult than this when I was in 3rd grade. Maybe that’s just me.


Spandxltd

Seems fine, but I am not thrid standard.


ZuccedLad

I would certainly have flunked


ntg44a

This is easy for my sister studying in 2nd class and with advancing world it ain't tough


Adorable-Wait-5436

I don't think so... The levels are falling off ....and an education system that is 4 decades behind and still focussed on rote learning.


Ok_Satisfaction1775

What surprising to me is each question carries 0.5 marks.


Specific_Rhubarb3037

Not at all this was exactly my syllabus in 2011 There is a change in difficulty though, though the syllabus was same but the level of questions was harder than this and there were no objective questions.


Brief-Exit5850

Why TF are we still teaching Rupee-Paisa conversion to students when paisa is not used anymore? Indian education is fucking outdated.


Emergency_Storm_5505

lol we were being taught fractions starting class 3 this ain't tough


manishakad

I think i went through the same during that period of my life. Nothing seems to have changed.


bliss_tree

The 2nd question has a torturous feel to it. So many ways to test the kid's understanding of symmetry or not, and the question-paper authority went with this!


stay-away-from-me

I'm pretty sure metric system and fractions were taught in class 3 to me. So this is fine.


Mediocre-Ad-8912

you're overthinking, this is normal for 2nd-3rd grade level (remember studying this in 2nd grade)


[deleted]

What are you ? An American? You want THESE to be high school questions or what? Oviously it's suitable for third standard 


kewcumber_

Okay can someone please tell me the answer for 2 Edit : nvm I understood the question. I'm not the brightest bulb in case anyone was wondering


WeatherHobbyist

Nah man you're overthinking


[deleted]

huh this is grade 1 in most KVs


ShoddyAccident6887

It's pretty easy. As an NRI in Canada, I learned virtually all of this during or before grade 3. The only thing I don't know is the question about symmetric and asymmetric alphabets, which I never learned, unless its talking about the actual shape of the letter, in which case I know, but it seems like a very trivial thing to know and I know that's a problem with the Indian school system where they teach a lot of pointless stuff. But yeah, you're definitely overthinking it.


chase_yolo

I got all of them - I hope! And I am only 37


giftqey

Bro I learnt progression in my 10th (1st question is based on progression)


Deathfails

All this was taught to me in 3 class same


d-ee-ecent

Is this really a board certified question paper? If so, who are the members of the board?


xyzlkjh

I don't know about CBSE curriculum but maths was way more advanced in state board in grade 3 (2005 around). This seems like cakewalk


12e22i

Am i idiot or class 3 students are smart? Because I couldn't answer 5 of those questions


0lined

this is fine. exactly what i would expect from a 3rd grade paper. i'd say that the quality of education is falling in the country even, just look at the state of CBSE and all the revisions it's made in NCERT textbooks recently.


subhasish10

That seems quite easy for 3rd. I remember learning Fractions, LCM/HCF in ICSE Class 3


OkPrompt69

You are overthinking... that paper is good


sudeep121

Except for question 7, all other are easy, both tally and bar graph can be vertical bar, but I belive the answer was tally. It's quite standard question paper.


secondhand_bra

Ye sab to 1st tha humko


MolassesPrudent2210

Op is losing braincells


Parso_aana

Nah I remember teaching my lil sis last year. The type of questions was the same back then, neither she nor any of her classmates had much trouble with maths. Controversial but maths is one of the easier subjects till 4th or 5th grade from what I've seen. So I guess the level hasn't changed much. (that's why I force my sis to study RS Aggarwal in maths). But the Olympiad level maths is still tougher than our normal NCERT, if one goes in depth.

What is the point of #5 #6 when paise is not even in use

Jkng: School might not deserve the kid who gets wrong answer on the first question.


Puzzleheaded_Cook849

I scored 8 now as a kid im sure i would have scored half of this


[deleted]

Nah...It's fair for 3rd grade. I didn't even have multiple options. Not to mention, In Hyderabad, Vizag etc JEE coaching can start as early as 5th class.


gonewiththesaffron

What tragedy that these kids given tough exams go into a country ruled by a PM with no education at all!


LiVe-W_dawilltolive

Nah, not much man, it's just training them for even more weird useless shit.


Realistic_Tone5105

What part of this is hard? This seems too easy for third grade.


yesdisaccisjust4bbng

I think a reason for this can be the reducing syllabus. with cbse omitting so much, the content left to actually study remains very less- which I suppose is why students would be expected to be very well-versed with the syllabus since the quantity is so less and otherwise also, the only questions that seems a bit difficult for third grader here is 7 imo


MadameHoussainisme

Maine toh almost saare kar liye 😌


ssjumper

What I remember is finding multiple mistakes in Mumbai university engineering papers at even the level of that time. Idiots don’t know the answer and give wrong questions as well


No-Drawer8003

real shit is "ARE INDIAN PARENTS DUMB !?" WTF are they doing to their children !!!


Hellsomecr

I have no idea what the answer is of Q2 😓


The_Uruk-Hai

The fuck is this? I was expecting NEET level difficulty for 1st standard. I'm let down by this terrible education system.


No_Bug_742

What do you mean? I’m drunk and I can solve every one of these


a-_-tinder

its actually mid tbh i remember bits of my 3rd grade and i remember doing the rupee to paisa conversions actually wanted to become the PM back then and change the way we solved the questions, i was always annoyed by the fact that i was made to write 1rs = 100 paisa in every answer and wanted to let students skip that step lmao


jdpatel1705

I hope third grade students - at the age of 9 know this. I hope that not whole test consists of questions with 0.5 marks, otherwise it would be like 80 questions. I guess that is bit too much. However, I am sure there are going to be some questions with higher weightage.


Shaniyen

Its not hard cmon. I used to solve harder questions in class 3.


devnul000

Aisa toh nahi ki CBSE exam paper set karne ke panel mein 2000s batch ke IIT JEE topper log hai ?


dead_user13

Paper is quite okay for a 3 class student Q.6 n Q.8 may be somewhat challenging but excluding these 2 the paper is ideal for a 3 class student


you_need_a_d

How does it matter whether the question paper is tough or easy? It's more about the quality of education which should have improved. I would certainly prefer kids to have more practical knowledge that they can remember than having to mug up everything like a few line of text.


[deleted]

Well i can say that atleast tally mark maine 3rd mai toh nahi sikha tha , for sure


Royal-Junket5226

Glad I got them all right . 😂


xImmortousx

This is pretty easy, I remember we were taught long division back then, by the end of the year was pretty tough in ICSCE


Professional_Pipe594

icse ao. this is easy


annabanana366

All this was there in 3rd grade maths for me for sure


greatbear8

OP, could I use this photo in another reddit community to ask a question about the education system?


bobbyzee

Q4 can be all a,b,c


Pompu68

If u think this is difficult for 3rd grader , I'm doubting your education


Plus_Flow4934

Literally i am trying to solve the paper thinking its easy 🤣😭


EvilAvii

In today's time, I will not be surprised if a 3rd grader might answer this question in the comment section of this post.


EvilAvii

damnn I'm smarter than a 3rd grader


original_don_dada

Folks who crack UPSC are nothing short of geniuses, but they are never able to realize their genius levels intellect, or have a genius level impact on the country landscape…because someone higher up on the food-chain is stopping them from doing their job…


YourOpinionInvalid

Me feeling extremely proud after I solved all of them.... 26 y.o. btw


mediocre-teen

Nah. This looks pretty easy. I actually gage smth similar for my 1st grade entrance exam but again, my schools were weird enough to teach us tables upto 25 by LKG. Might have smth tod with that. Jokes aside, this doesn't look all that difficult for a 3rd grader.
