How the paper is set
What the theory paper is worth, section by section.
| Section | Question type | Pattern | Marks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Section A | MCQs | 80 × 0.5 | 40 |
| Section B | SRQs | 7 × 4 | 28 |
| Section C | ERQs | 2 × 6 | 12 |
| Theory total | 80 | ||
Marks align with the latest Federal Board (FBISE) Assessment Framework (Grade-XI) under the Inclusive Scheme of Studies 2024 (50% MCQs / 50% Descriptive) for the 2026-27 session.

Start here
Study these chapters first.
Six chapters carry 53.6% of the theory paper — Ch 6 Energetics, Ch 8 Chemical Equilibrium, Ch 9 Acids-Bases Chemistry, Ch 3 Chemical Bonding, Ch 18 Alcohol, Ch 4 Stoichiometry. Master these first.
The next six — Ch 10 Periodic Table, Ch 16 Hydrocarbons, Ch 15 Organic Chemistry, Ch 7 Chemical Kinetics, Ch 12 Halogens, Ch 19 Carbonyl Compounds — add 29.6%, taking the running total to 83.2%.
The remaining chapters share the last 16.8%. LAST here does not mean skip — every one of them can set MCQs and short questions.
