BISE Gujranwala Biology Examiner Report 2026 (Class 10)
After every annual exam, BISE Gujranwala asks its examiners to report on how students answered each question. This analytical report covers the 10th class Biology paper of the Annual Examination 2026 (objective paper code 7461). It was prepared by examiner Jamshed Iqbal, SSS, of Govt. Higher Secondary School Ladheywala Warraich, Gujranwala, dated 24 July 2026. If you are in Class 9 or 10, this is one of the best guides to what examiners expect and where marks are lost.

Key Findings at a Glance
MCQ Answers and Common Confusions
The report lists the correct answer to each objective question and what confused students:
| Q | Answer | Level | Where students went wrong |
|---|---|---|---|
| Q.1 | Emphysema | Easy | Airway inflammation, bronchial disease and alveolar damage were mixed up |
| Q.2 | Hilus | Moderate | Kidney terms such as cortex and hilum were confused |
| Q.3 | Neuron | Easy | A part of a nerve cell was taken for the whole unit |
| Q.4 | Sternum | Easy | Breastbone confused with vertebrae and the hyoid bone |
| Q.5 | Cloning | Easy | Natural asexual reproduction mixed with artificial propagation |
| Q.6 | Maize | Moderate | Weak grip on epigeal versus hypogeal germination |
| Q.7 | 1953 | Easy | Dates of DNA milestones not remembered |
| Q.8 | Allele | Easy | Allele confused with locus and nucleosome |
| Q.9 | Tiger | Easy | Producers, herbivores and top consumers mixed up |
| Q.10 | Commensalism | Moderate | Confused with mutualism, parasitism and predation |
| Q.11 | 1990 | Easy | Start and completion of the genome project confused |
| Q.12 | Mushroom | Easy | Sources of natural psychoactive substances confused |
6 Reasons Students Lost Marks
- Incomplete answersThe single biggest cause. Multi-part questions were only partly answered.
- Wrong biological termsUsing a near-correct term instead of the exact one cost marks.
- Spelling of technical wordsScientific names and terms were often misspelled.
- Mixing up related conceptsStudents could not separate close ideas, such as trophic level and food chain.
- Too little detail in long answersLong questions were answered briefly, missing key steps.
- No labelled diagramWhere the structure of an organ or system was asked, diagrams were left out.
Short Questions: What the Examiner Noticed
Long Questions: What Strong Answers Included
| Question | What top answers did | Common gap |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanism of breathing | Inspiration and expiration explained separately, with a labelled diagram | Role of diaphragm and rib muscles left out |
| Spinal cord | Location, structure and functions | Reflex action and nerve impulses ignored |
| Functions of kidney | Filtration, reabsorption, secretion and homeostasis | Only urine formation mentioned |
| Structure and function of bone | Compact bone, spongy bone and marrow described | Only functions written |
| Achievements of genetic engineering | Five distinct achievements | Objectives written instead of achievements |
| Classification of drugs | Classified by chemical properties with examples | Mixed up with groups like narcotics and antibiotics |
How to Use This Report for Your Biology Exam
Do this
- Answer every part of the question, and read the exact demand (symptoms or causes, objectives or achievements)
- Learn correct spellings of terms and scientific names
- Practise labelled diagrams of organs and systems
- Make "difference between" tables for related terms
- Write long answers step by step with enough detail
Avoid this
- Writing only definitions when a comparison is asked
- Rote learning without understanding the concept
- Skipping diagrams in structure questions
- Leaving out examples where the question asks for one
- Messy presentation and poor handwriting
Examiner's advice for paper setters: The report recommends more MCQs that test understanding instead of memory, and short and long questions that ask students to explain in their own words. Expect future papers to move gradually in this direction. See the full subject list in our scheme of studies guide.
