About the 2022 exam: 2022 was CBSE's special COVID year: the board exam was split into two terms instead of one 70-mark paper. Term 2 (the papers shown here) was a shorter subjective paper of just 10 questions for 35 marks, with a single map question instead of the usual two. So the smaller size IS the real exam that year, not missing content. All three series are complete (10/10), taken from the official CBSE papers.
