Sample CTET questions with answers

These come from our free CTET mock tests. Try each one yourself, then open the answer and explanation.

Science
1. A runner completes one lap of a circular track of circumference 400 m in 80 seconds. The average speed of the runner is:
- A. 80 m/s
- B. 0.2 m/s
- C. 400 m/s
- D. 5 m/s
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: 5 m/s
Explanation: Average speed = total distance / total time = 400 m / 80 s = 5 m/s. Note that after one complete lap the displacement is zero so average velocity is zero, but average speed is 5 m/s because the total distance travelled is 400 m.
Mathematics
2. A child measures the length of a pencil using a ruler and records it as 14.3 cm. The actual length is 14 cm. What is the percentage error in the child's measurement?
- A. 2.1%
- B. 2.14%
- C. 0.3%
- D. 3%
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: 2.14%
Explanation: Percentage error = (|measured - actual| / actual) x 100 = (0.3 / 14) x 100 = 2.14% (approx).
Child Development & Pedagogy
3. A primary school teacher notices that Priya completes her art projects eagerly without any reward or praise. According to self-determination theory, Priya's behaviour best illustrates which type of motivation?
- A. Extrinsic motivation driven by external rewards
- B. Identified motivation linked to personally valued goals
- C. Introjected motivation shaped by guilt or shame
- D. Intrinsic motivation arising from personal interest and enjoyment
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Intrinsic motivation arising from personal interest and enjoyment
Explanation: Intrinsic motivation refers to engaging in an activity for the inherent satisfaction and interest it provides, without need for external incentives. Priya completes art projects eagerly without any reward, which is the hallmark of intrinsic motivation as defined by Deci and Ryan's self-determination theory. Extrinsic motivation involves external rewards or pressures. Introjected motivation involves internal pressures such as guilt. Identified motivation involves valuing the activity for personal reasons but is still considered extrinsic in self-determination theory's taxonomy.
English Language
4. Which of the following scenarios BEST illustrates a learner-centred language classroom?
- A. The teacher lectures on grammar rules for the entire period while students take notes
- B. Students sit in rows and repeat sentences after the teacher in unison
- C. The teacher reads the passage aloud and students answer questions written on the board
- D. Students work in pairs to interview each other and present findings to the class
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Students work in pairs to interview each other and present findings to the class
Explanation: A learner-centred classroom places students at the centre of activity, giving them agency, interaction, and choice. Pair interviews and presenting findings are student-driven, communicative, and collaborative. Teacher lectures, board questions, and repetition drills are teacher-centred activities where learners are passive receivers or mechanical responders.
Environmental Studies
5. A class 4 teacher notices that some children do not live with both parents. How should the teacher handle the topic of 'family' to be sensitive to all students?
- A. Tell children that a family must always have both a mother and a father
- B. Present diverse family structures as all valid and equally caring
- C. Skip the topic of family to avoid discomfort
- D. Separate children into groups based on their family types
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Present diverse family structures as all valid and equally caring
Explanation: NCERT EVS pedagogy emphasises inclusion and sensitivity. Families come in many forms: single-parent families, families with grandparents as caregivers, adoptive families, and more. A good EVS teacher presents all family structures as valid, loving, and normal, ensuring no child feels excluded or ashamed. This reflects the inclusive approach advocated in the NCF.
Science
6. A village depends on a river that originates from a glacier. Over decades, the glacier is retreating due to rising temperatures. Which long-term consequence for the village is most scientifically accurate?
- A. The quality of river water will improve because glacial water is purer
- B. Retreating glaciers have no effect on river flow downstream
- C. The river will eventually carry less water as the glacier shrinks and disappears
- D. The river will permanently flood the village as more glacier ice melts
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: The river will eventually carry less water as the glacier shrinks and disappears
Explanation: Glaciers act as natural water reservoirs, slowly releasing meltwater into rivers throughout the year, especially during dry seasons. Initially, a retreating glacier may increase river flow temporarily as more ice melts. However, as the glacier progressively shrinks and eventually disappears, the steady supply of meltwater decreases significantly, leading to reduced river flow and potential water scarcity for communities depending on that river. The river will not permanently flood, and water quality is a separate issue from volume.
Mathematics
7. A teacher wants students to discover that the sum of angles in a triangle is 180°. Which activity is MOST appropriate for this discovery?
- A. Copying the proof from the textbook
- B. Using a calculator to add up angles from given examples
- C. Tearing the three corners of a paper triangle and arranging them to form a straight line
- D. Reciting the rule 'angle sum property is 180°' repeatedly
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Tearing the three corners of a paper triangle and arranging them to form a straight line
Explanation: Tearing and rearranging the three corners of a triangle to form a straight angle (180°) is a hands-on constructivist activity that allows students to discover the angle sum property inductively. This promotes understanding rather than rote learning.
Child Development & Pedagogy
8. According to Vygotsky, the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) is best described as the distance between:
- A. A child's chronological age and mental age as measured by standardised tests
- B. The lowest and highest scores a child earns across different subject areas
- C. What a child can accomplish independently and what the child can accomplish with guidance from a more capable peer or adult
- D. The gap between a child's current performance and the class average performance
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: What a child can accomplish independently and what the child can accomplish with guidance from a more capable peer or adult
Explanation: Vygotsky defined ZPD as the difference between a learner's actual developmental level (determined by independent problem solving) and the level of potential development achievable under adult guidance or in collaboration with more capable peers. It is a dynamic interactional space, not a static gap related to age, scores, or class averages.
