As per this circular, the C.B.S.E. will undertake Aptitude Test twice, once at the end of Class IX and then at the end of Class X. The Aptitude Tests along with other school records and CCE would help teachers, students and parents in deciding the choice of subjects in Class XI. The present series of books, ‘Know Your Aptitude’ for Classes IX and X covers all aspects of aptitude testing required at these levels. Each of these books has been divided into two units, namely General Aptitude Test and Scholastic Aptitude Test. General Aptitude Test comprises the following topics : 1. Visual Reasoning 2. Numerical Reasoning 3. Verbal Analysis 4. Sequential Reasoning 5. Spatial Recognition 6. Three-D 7. Systems 8. Vocabulary 9. Aptitude Profiling and Selection of Subjects 10. Aptitude Tests Scholastic Aptitude Test comprises four Scholastic Aptitude Tests in each of the following subjects : 1. Mathematics 2. Science 3. Social Science 4. English By going through these books, the learner will be able to (i) know what to study (ii) identify his/her weaknesses and overcome them (iii) actually improve his/her mental ability (iv) develop speed and (v) gain confidence. By working through these tests, the learner can build an Aptitude Profile. Using this Aptitude profile the learner can select the right subject for further course of study. In other words, these books are of great use in selecting the right subject for further study. These books provide one of the most scientifically designed tests to know the aptitude of the learner and his/her abilities to study a particular subject. Suggestions for the improvement of the books are most welcome. — The Publishers

For almost fifty years, much has been written concerning Mark 16:9-20. During the same time period, evidence once counted against Mark 16:9-20 was shown to be otherwise. In this study, David W. Hester surveys modern scholarship (1965-2011) surrounding the passage. He examines the passage itself--the external evidence, with particular attention paid to the manuscripts and the patristics, especially those of the second and third centuries; and the internal evidence, featuring details that are problematic as well as those that favor Markan authorship. Finally, a proposal concerning the origin of the passage is presented. The first edition of Mark's Gospel ended at 16:8, resulting in the manuscript tradition that omits the passage, but this was not his intended ending. Later, his associates attached Mark's notes and published a second edition of the Gospel with the last twelve verses. This led to its inclusion. Given that the passage is cited by second- and third-century witnesses and attributed to Mark, along with the biblical prohibition against adding to or taking from Scripture, it is doubtful that an anonymous second-century author could have been successful in adding his own composition and it being widely accepted by the early church.
