Pick your class — Class 5 through 2nd Year
Pick your class is the very first navigation choice on ImtehanHub. It determines which subjects, chapters, and questions you see. The right class is the class whose textbook you are studying right now, not the class whose age you happen to be.
TL;DR — Open
/subjects→ pick the class matching your current textbook. If you are between two classes, pick the one whose book you have open in front of you.
What classes ImtehanHub covers
ImtehanHub serves the Pakistani national curriculum from Class 5 through 2nd Year. The full coverage:
| Class | Stage | Typical age | Curriculum |
|---|---|---|---|
| Class 5 | Primary | 10 | Pakistan curriculum |
| Class 6 | Middle | 11 | Pakistan curriculum |
| Class 7 | Middle | 12 | Pakistan curriculum |
| Class 8 | Middle | 13 | Pakistan curriculum |
| Class 9 | Matric | 14 | Pakistan curriculum, board-aligned |
| Class 10 | Matric | 15 | Pakistan curriculum, board-aligned |
| 1st Year (FA / FSc) | Intermediate | 16 | Federal / Punjab / Sindh / KPK / Balochistan / AJK board |
| 2nd Year (FA / FSc) | Intermediate | 17 | Federal / Punjab / Sindh / KPK / Balochistan / AJK board |
Stages mean:
- Primary (5) — single track, no streams.
- Middle (6-8) — single track, no streams.
- Matric (9-10) — board exams begin. You start specialising (Science vs Arts) in Class 9.
- Intermediate / FA / FSc (1st & 2nd Year) — formal college years; specialisation by group: FSc-Pre-Medical, FSc-Pre-Engineering, FA, ICS, ICom.
ImtehanHub covers all groups within Intermediate. The subject list updates based on the class you pick.
How to pick
If you are currently a student
Pick the class printed on your current textbook's cover. If the book says "Physics — Class 9", pick Class 9, even if you are 13 or 16.
If you are revising for a board exam
Pick the class whose board exam you are sitting. Class 10 board exam → pick Class 10 even if you are technically still in school. 2nd Year exam → pick 2nd Year.
If you are between two classes (the common case)
Pick the class whose textbook you are using for daily homework right now. If you finished Class 9 last year and are revising before Class 10 starts, you can pick either:
- Class 9 — to test your retention of last year's material.
- Class 10 — to preview what is coming next term.
A common pattern: pick Class 9 for revision, take 5-10 tests until you are comfortable, then switch to Class 10 to preview new content.
If you are a tutor or institute teacher
Pick whichever class your student is in. ImtehanHub does not differentiate teacher vs student at the class-pick stage; the difference is in account-level features (institute manager → roster, per-student progress).
What you see after picking a class
Inside a class you see:
- Subjects — the list of subjects taught in that class. Class 9 has English, Urdu, Math, Physics, Chemistry, Biology (or Computer Science), Islamiat, Pakistan Studies. Intermediate adds the group-specific subjects.
- Chapter counts — each subject card shows how many chapters and how many MCQs are seeded.
- Recently updated — chapters that received new questions in the last week are flagged.
Each class subject opens to a chapter list, and each chapter opens to a "Start Test" page. From there, the Quick Start flow takes over.
Switching class later
Picking a class is not a permanent choice — it is just a navigation filter. You can switch class any time from the /subjects page. The only thing tied to your class is the add-on Class plan (PKR 99/mo unlocks one specific extra class for free-tier users); see Quotas and plans for that.
Subject availability per class
Not every subject is in every class. Common omissions to know:
| Class | Computer Science | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Class 5 | Not seeded | No free online source for Class 5 CS — the only subject missing from the 60-subject set |
| Class 6, 7, 8 | Available | |
| Class 9, 10 | Available (alternates with Biology — pick the science track you are taking) | |
| 1st & 2nd Year FSc-Pre-Medical | Replaced by Biology | |
| 1st & 2nd Year FSc-Pre-Engineering | Available as ICS |
Boards and classes
A separate but related choice is your board — Punjab, Federal, Sindh, KPK, Balochistan, or AJK. The class structure is the same across boards, but question phrasing and exam style differ. Set your preferred board on the Profile page so questions match your board's wording. See Pick your board for the breakdown.
Common questions
What if my class is not listed?
Currently ImtehanHub covers Class 5 through 2nd Year only. Class 1-4 and university content are out of scope. If you have a serious need, request the content via the book request flow — we keep a public log of requests and prioritise high-demand classes.
Can I take a higher-class test for practice?
Yes — picking a class is a navigation choice, not a permission gate. Free-tier students can practise any seeded class. The add-on Class plan only matters when you want unlimited practice for one specific class beyond the daily quota.
Do question difficulties scale with class?
Yes. Class 5 questions are mostly recall-and-recognition. Class 9-10 mix recall with application. 1st and 2nd Year tilt toward application and analysis. The difficulty distribution is set per chapter; see Question types for how MCQ, Short, and Long differ.
What about Cambridge / O-Level / A-Level?
Out of scope for now. ImtehanHub focuses on the Pakistani national curriculum (Federal Board) and provincial board variants. Cambridge content has different structure and would need a separate content pipeline.
