WB Primary TET 2017 - question booklet CXN
Primary TET · 116 questions · 150 minutes · 116 marks · no negative marking · pass at 60%
The West Bengal Primary TET 2017 paper, from question booklet CXN, timed like the real sitting. The booklet we worked from does not include the Language I section (questions 1-30), so this covers the other four sections: Language II (English), Child Development and Pedagogy, Mathematics and Environmental Studies. It holds 116 of the paper's 150 questions; the 34 we could not source cleanly from the booklet are left out rather than replaced with substitutes, and the paper is marked out of 116. Every question is the Board's own, with its original number.
Before you start
- The clock runs on the server. Closing the tab does not pause it, and the test submits itself when the time is up.
- Answers are saved as you go. If your connection drops, what reached the server is kept.
- You can mark a question for review and come back to it while time remains.
- Answers and explanations appear only after you submit.
One mark per question and no negative marking, so answer every one — a guess costs nothing. The clock is kept on the server, so closing the tab does not stop it. This is a real paper that has already been sat; treat it as a rehearsal of the day rather than a source of new questions, because you will have met some of them in practice.

Where these questions come from
Every question in this paper is published on this site and sits on a heading of the official syllabus. Some were set by the Board in a previous year and are recorded with the paper and question number they came from; the rest were written for this site against the same syllabus heading, and are labelled as ours rather than presented as the Board's.
