PW Marathon Class 9 Half-Yearly Science Analysis: Endgame 2025
Divya Sharma13 Sept, 2025
PW Marathon Class 9 Half-Yearly Science Analysis has been conducted for the Science subject. Students who appeared in the 9th-class Science paper. They found that the level of the paper was expected to be moderate to difficult. Conceptually based questions are covered in the Physics and Chemistry sections.
Therefore, the focus is to test the conceptual understanding of the students in solving the Physics and Chemistry questions asked in the half-yearly exams.
