CBSE Class 12 Chemistry Practical (Term 2) 2022: Marking Scheme 

The practical exam is to be conducted on the premises of the school of a particular student and the marks would be added to his final scores. CBSE Practicals are conducted for 30 marks and have been divided into two terms - CBSE Class 12 Term 1 and Term 2. 

Therefore, each term consists of 15 marks each. 

For each term’s practical exam, the students would have to conduct experiments on the volumetric analysis (4 marks) and Salt analysis (4 marks). 2 marks would be given for the Content-based experiment, 5 marks for projects, class records and viva voice.

CBSE Class 12 Chemistry Practical (Term 2) 2022: How To Score Good Marks?

1. Practice all your experiments properly before going for the exam. 
2. Students should be careful with the chemicals used in the laboratories as they can be harmful if used inappropriately. 
3. Revise all the formulae and maintain your lab manuals.
4. Study each experiment and revise all the steps to be followed during the experiments. 
5. Since the practical exams would be conducted in the respective schools, students can go before the date of the exam to practice an experiment in case they were absent from any of the classes.
