Physics Questions
Strategy for solving objective Physics Questions
Objective questions in NEET are mostly easy (NCERT BASED). From physics, 45 multiple choice questions with only one correct choice are there in entrance test. From the data of last two-three years papers one can easily analyse that around 70 percent paper is easy, 20 percent moderate and rest of the questions are tricky.
Questions asked during exams are generally formula based, graphical and memory based. So, for such questions that are formula based only thing that matter is fast calculation. Now students should remember one thing that quantities that are provided in questions are basically in such a manner that will minimise calculation time. Also, options of such questions are quite similar and sometimes they just differ by order of magnitude.
So, for such questions one should require converting all quantities in same system of unit, preferably SI units before they substitute them in correct formula. Some mathematical tools may also require during calculation. So, they should practice some of them namely differentiation, quadratic equation, integration, limits, exponents and logarithm, Arithmetic and geometric progression etc. For graphical problems they must know curve to equations like parabola, ellipse, hyperbola, exponential etc. For such problems, sometimes it becomes more easier to tell answer by quick look on all options. One more easy way is to check curve behaviour at some special points or coordinates of variables like zero, negative number and infinity.
Memory based questions save your time and it is recommended that don’t make guess on such questions as paper consist of negative marking also. Few topics like earth magnetism, dip angle, paramagnetism, diamagnetism, Curie law, semiconductors, Gauss law, Carnot’s theorem etc are topics that are suits best for such category.
Following are key tips for attempting your paper.
Try Everything: The paper consists of Easy, Moderate and Difficult questions. It is very important to go through all the questions in the paper so that you do not miss attempting any easy or scoring question.
Set the Priority: It is always advised to start your paper with Mathematics as your mind should be all fresh do to faster calculations. After that, start with Physics then comes the chemistry. Although it's up to you to decide which to go first with, since everyone has one favourite subject.
3 min rule: Never give more than 3 minutes in a single question. Unless it's weightage is worth it.
Elimination: In single choice questions, learn to eliminate the wrong option, sometimes it is helpful in finding the correct answer soon.
Avoid mistakes in Calculation: Always be aware of the calculation mistake that happens in anxiousness, a wrong calculation may take your rank from 500 to 1000 or much more away.
When in Doubt : When you are not sure about the answer, directly move on to next question to avoid unnecessary deduction of marks (As per negative marking, you are awarded 4 marks for every correct answer and you lose 1 mark for each wrong answer).
Every second counts: After doing all the questions well in time, check the important problems once again on which you were confused and didn't fill the OMR.
Mark and Save time: Mark the questions that were to be seen after attempting the whole paper or which were to be done still. This helps saving time.
Don’t Panic: It may happen sometimes that you are finding difficult physics questions consecutively, do not panic and move on. Try to give tons of papers during your preparation time to avoid nervousness. Your hard work will always payoff!
