Physics is an important subject to obtain maximum marks in medical or engineering test. It is a fact that Physics is included as a compulsory subject in both mentioned tests. So, it is necessary to grasp Physics for both Pre-Medical and Pre-Engineering students. This article is written to address the difficulties of students during Physics preparation.
Physics’ MCQs in entrance tests are different from Biology and chemistry MCQs because Physics paper consists of following areas:
Formulas
• Numerical and Computation Part
• Theory
• Applications of the theory/rules/laws
Physics is the subject which requires imaginations. A strong mental ability will help you in understanding physics. Recursive and in-depth practice of concepts and numericals will help you in gaining excellent marks in the portion of Physics in the test.
Once you have grasped the concept and practiced the basic numericals and all other computational questions then pick challenging numericals to solve. The practice of picking and solving tough questions will help you solving questions in the entrance test with comfort. Such practice will be a great source of achievement while many students will stuck in understanding questions in the test.
Don’t Overlook Numericals
It is observed that many students feel boring while learning numerical portion of physics due to which they either overlook it or don’t practice it enough. But believe me this is the point of making a big mistake in Physics, this habit is hindrance in gaining good score in test. This is the main reason due to which most of the students cannot achieve success in the medical or engineering entrance tests despite hard work.
Students are suggested that instead of memorizing formulas, derive them.
Avoid cramming
Another important issue is cramming of concepts; rote learning may help you in Biology or Chemistry but it will never work in Physics preparation.
Solve Past Papers
This will help you in understanding the difficulty level of questions, pattern of questions and it also help you in comparison of your preparation and actual questions in the paper.
Solving past papers will help you avoiding habit of overlooking any topic or question.
List the Formulas
Make a list of all formulas in each chapter. It will help you in solving the numerical questions and deriving the formulas.
Important points to remember
• You must have full understanding of syllabus of physics.
• Make grip on concepts.
• Practice numericals again and again until you have many tricks and techniques to solve questions or you start enjoying solving tricky questions as well.
• While practicing, make your own notes of formulas and important points.
• Practice past papers thoroughly.
• Make your theory strong; it will help you understanding the topics practically.
• Practice the MCQs in the limited time as it is in the entrance test.
Note: As you all know that Physics constitutes 20% of the medical test, so spend the time on this subject as it demands. However, don’t spend too much time by cutting the time of Biology and Chemistry which contribute towards major portion of the test.
