Yes, Question Banks are enough to score high in CBSE board exams. Here’s a clear breakdown of why and how:
Why Question Banks are sufficient:
The Question Banks are based on CBSE curriculum, and most of the board exam questions are taken or adapted reference books.
Conceptual clarity:
Question Banks are written in a clear, structured, and exam-oriented way. If you understand every line, you’ll have a solid grasp of the syllabus.
Direct questions:
Many board questions are either directly from Question Banks or are simple variations of its in-text and exercise questions.
Solved examples and exercises:
Practicing examples, in-text questions, and back exercises from reference books gives you enough exposure to likely question formats.
How to use Question Banks effectively:
Understand Every Line
Don’t just read — understand the meaning, especially in subjects like Science, Economics, History, and Geography.
Practice all questions
Solve all practice questions thoroughly — don’t skip diagrams or map work.
Revise regularly

Solve previous year papers
They often show how Question Bank content is framed as board questions.
When You Might Need Reference Books:
If you’re aiming for 95%+, especially in subjects like Maths or Accountancy, additional books (like Teachers Forum) help with extra practice.
If you struggle with a concept, a reference book can explain it in a different way.
For sample papers, guides like Teachers Forum can help in exams.
Final Tip:
Focus on mastering Teachers Forum Question Banks first before even thinking of any other books. If you’re thorough with it, you’re already 90–95% prepared.
