Such a similarity is unexpected, they said.

Examinees who followed the Panjeri guidebook could correctly answer questions for 98 marks. Others who did not follow the guidebook could not do well in the English First Paper examination, they said.

They said questions a, b, c, d and e under question No-1 and No. 2 in the First Paper are exactly the same as the 'model question-6' in the Panjeri Guidebook.

Similarly, question No-3 and 4, passage 5, 6, 7 and 8, question No-9 and 10 in part-B and question No 11, 12 and 13 in part-C are the same as in Panjeri guidebook.

Teachers and examinees say questions for 98 marks are exactly the same as the 'model question' in the guidebook.

Guidebooks available in the market may be useful to students in learning the style but it is unexpected that questions for 98 marks will be exactly the same as the 'model question' in any guidebook, the teachers said.

They also alleged that a similar thing happened in English question under Sylhet Education Board last year also. Some teachers had made verbal complaints to the Board authorities last year, but to no effect, they said.

If such things happen, the government drive to stop cheating and other unfair means in public examinations will be of no use, they said.
