The number of questions that come from previous year's question papers in IGNOU exams can vary depending on the course, subject, and the specific exam. However, it is common for some questions to be repeated or for similar questions to appear in multiple years. IGNOU typically follows a pattern in their assessments, and reviewing previous year question papers can be a helpful strategy for understanding the types of questions that may appear in upcoming exams.
Here’s how previous year question papers can help:
- Repetition of Questions: IGNOU sometimes repeats questions or asks variations of the same question.
- Exam Pattern Familiarity: You can get familiar with the format (e.g., long answer, short answer, multiple choice) and the distribution of marks.
- Important Topics: Reviewing the past papers helps identify recurring topics or areas that are often emphasized.
However, it’s important to note that while previous years’ papers can be a good reference, it’s still essential to study the full syllabus to ensure you're well-prepared for all possible questions
