UK Board 12th English Syllabus 2023-24: Download Revised UBSE English Syllabus PDF

UK Board 12th Syllabus English 2024: Studying is only half the battle. Students also need to apply the concepts they have learned. That’s why there are tests to measure the level of students. 

The class 12 UK board exams are one such way of testing students and are held every year at the end of the term. It’s essential to pass the board exams to graduate school, and for that, you need to study hard and smart both. The first step is knowing the correct syllabus.

The syllabus for many Class 12 subjects of the UK board has been revised or deleted lately, and students should stay updated. There’s no point in overpreparing by following the old syllabus when there’s already so much pressure of the board exams in class 12. If you’re an over-achiever, then you can refer to the old syllabus, but for others, it’s best to stick to the new UK board syllabus 2024.

English is a language subject and is lengthy, detailed and hard to score. Even grammatical errors cause marks deduction. As such, substantial practice is needed to ace English in the UK board. You should refer to the latest and correct UBSE Class 12 English syllabus while studying as it gives an idea of which units you need to prioritize.
