About Padhantu
Built for students preparing for exams anywhere in the world — real past papers, answers that follow the marking scheme, and practice tests on a real exam clock.
Where the questions come from
Past-paper questions on Padhantu are taken from actual papers set by the exam body, such as the CBSE board papers students sat from 2010 to the latest session. We don't write lookalike questions and pass them off as real: if a question is marked as a past paper, it was asked in that exam.
How the answers are written
Each answer is written against the official marking scheme for its paper: the same step-wise allocation examiners use to award marks. A 3-mark answer shows you the three things that earn marks — not a paragraph that happens to be correct. Answers include explanations, common mistakes, and hints so you learn the method, not just the result.
How answers are reviewed
Before an answer is published it is checked against the marking scheme and the original paper, and answers are revised whenever the exam body updates the syllabus or the pattern changes. If you find an error, report it from the question page — corrections ship quickly.
Why the practice tests exist
Reading answers is half the preparation. The other half is sitting a paper on a clock. Padhantu's practice tests reuse the same real exam questions in a full-screen, timed exam interface — with automatic saving, instant scoring for MCQs, and model answers for written questions — so the first paper you face under pressure isn't the real one.
