Class 6 exam suggestion, subject by subject
Class 6 is where secondary study begins. Use the subject cards below to decide what to settle first in Bangla, English, Maths, Science and the other NCTB books — then go back to the textbook and the exercises. This is a preparation order, not a list of exam questions.

Class 6
Lower secondary
Class 6 is where the secondary foundation is laid. Several subjects feel new at once, so knowing which ideas to settle first takes pressure off. The lists below help you set that order.
How to approach this class
- Write the core idea of each chapter in two or three lines of your own.
- Do the exercise questions yourself; memorising answers fails the moment a question is reworded.
- Build handwriting, spelling and timed writing habits from this class onward.
Bangla
- Core message, author or poet details and word meanings of each prose and poem
- Spelling and pronunciation pairs: ই–ঈ, উ–ঊ, ণ–ন, শ–ষ–স
- Grammar: letters and sounds, parts of speech, number and gender
- Synonyms, antonyms and one-word substitutions
- Composition: paragraph, application or letter, describing an event
Study tip: Write one short paragraph a day in your own words; spelling and handwriting improve together.
English
- Vocabulary: word meanings, synonyms and antonyms from every unit
- Reading: short passages, true/false, fill in the blanks, short answers
- Grammar basics: articles, nouns, pronouns, simple present, past and future tense, prepositions
- Making affirmative, negative and question sentences
- Writing: a short paragraph, a simple message or letter, describing a person or place
Study tip: Read aloud for ten minutes daily and use five new words in sentences of your own.
Mathematics
- Fractions and decimals: the four operations
- HCF and LCM with word problems
- Ratio and percentage in everyday problems
- First steps in algebra: variables, simple equations, adding and subtracting expressions
- Geometry: lines, angles, basic properties of triangles and quadrilaterals
- Mensuration: perimeter and area of rectangles and squares
Study tip: Solve every exercise once yourself and copy the ones you got wrong into a separate notebook.
Science
- Living world: living and non-living things, first ideas of classifying plants and animals
- Food and nutrition: food components, balanced diet, hygiene
- Matter: change of state, mixtures and separation
- Force, work and forms of energy; first ideas of light and sound
- Environment: water, air, soil, pollution and conservation
Study tip: Draw diagrams and label the parts, then restate each definition in your own words.
Bangladesh and Global Studies
- Location, rivers and climate of Bangladesh
- Our society and culture: family, neighbours, festivals
- A short history of the Language Movement and the Liberation War
- Citizens’ rights and duties; first ideas of local government
- Natural disasters and preparedness; continents and oceans
Study tip: Keep dates, names and places in a timeline or list; they are easier to remember that way.
Religion and Moral Education
- Core beliefs and practices of your own religion (in Islam: faith, prayer, fasting, zakat, hajj)
- Selected passages of the scripture and what they teach
- Lessons from the lives of exemplary figures
- Moral values: honesty, truthfulness, duty to parents, rights of neighbours
- Correct pronunciation and meaning of prayers
Study tip: Follow the textbook for your own religion and check pronunciation with a teacher or parent.
Information and Communication Technology
- What ICT is and how it is used in daily life
- Parts of a computer: input and output devices, hardware and software
- Safe internet use, digital safety and cyberbullying
- Basic word processing and presentation tasks
- Keyboard familiarity and Bangla typing
Study tip: If you can, spend fifteen minutes a day on a computer; typing speed only comes from practice.
How to use the Class 6 list
- Match the book in your bag — Open the current NCTB book for each subject. If a chapter title here does not match your book, follow the book — textbooks are revised from time to time.
- Write the idea, then do the exercise — After each priority topic, write the idea in two or three lines of your own, then solve the exercise without looking at a guide.
- Keep a short weekly loop — One short Bangla paragraph, ten minutes of English reading aloud, and a mixed Maths sheet each week holds more than a long cram the night before.
What Class 6 exams usually look like
Class 6 assessments are set by the school, not by a public education board. Question style still follows the textbook: short answers, grammar or sums, and a little composition. The list below is for year-round preparation, not for one leaked paper.
