NEET physics preparation tips | How to prepare for NEET Physics

When it comes to preparing for NEET Physics, students usually find it quite challenging as it constitutes a wide variety of theoretical concepts and a vast array of numerical problems associated with each concept. The NEET Physics 2019 analysis shows that most of the questions were based on numerical problems involving extensive calculations. The Physics section was not only tougher than the other sections but also comparatively lengthier.

In order to ace NEET Physics, mere learning of concepts is not enough. Students need to understand the concepts thoroughly and master the application of concepts to numerical problems.

NEET Physics consists of a total of 45 questions that sums up to a total of 180 marks in the exam. Here are a few insights into the exam as well as some key points that can help students to give a practical edge to their preparation plan.

EXAM PATTERN
The NEET (UG) 2020 will consist of a total of 180 Multiple Choice Questions with four options and single correct answer and will be of 720 marks. In Physics section, 45 questions will be asked from Class XI & XII NCERT Syllabus (29 Chapters) excluding the chapter, ‘Communication System’.Each question will carry 04 (four) marks. For each correct answer/best option, candidate will get 04 (four) marks. For each incorrect answer, 01(one) mark will be deducted from the total score. To answer a question, the candidate will have to find, for each question, the correct answer, / best option.

IMPORTANT BOOKS

  1. The most recommended book other than the NCERT textbook is Concepts of Physics by H.C. Verma Vol. I & II. 
  2. The NCERT textbook is a must for Modern Physics particularly Semiconductors. 
  3. Students should thoroughly go through the NCERT textbook and solve all the Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) and Very Short Answer Type Questions (VSAQs) of NCERT Exemplar of Class XI & XII.

MUST-DO CHAPTERS

  1. System of particles and rotational motion
  2. Current electricity
  3. Thermodynamics
  4. Work, energy and power.
  5. Ray optics and optical instrument.
  6. Mechanical properties of solids and fluids.
  7. Semiconductor.
  8. Law of motion.
  9. Gravitation.
  10. Waves.
  11. Wave optics.
  12. Dual Nature of radiation and matter.

NEET PHYSICS PREPARATION TIPS

Focus on the Fundamentals
Physics section is all about theoretical concepts and numerical problems. Hence, having strong fundamental knowledge is a must. It is also important to work on your problem solving and application skills in order to score well in the Physics section.

Solve Test Series
One of the best ways to prepare for exams like NEET is to solve a Test Series. Test Series comprises of a number of tests based on the actual exam pattern. It includes a variety of different types of questions that can be asked in the exam. It builds your test taking skills, helps evaluate your preparation level and improves your speed and accuracy.

  7. Refer to your YB Study Material to give your preparation an edge.
Few last tips :

  1. Lay a time table : After looking at the syllabus it will not be an onerous task to understand that you have a huge syllabus to be covered in very less time. But lesser time doesn’t mean the target is not achievable. It can be attained by proper planning which involves first to set a time table for yourself as per your convenience.
  2. Before making an everyday plan first focus on monthly plan i.e. which all units must be covered in which month
  3. Make sure you take up important topics first. And as soon as a topic is complete, revise it instantly.
  4. For a daily plan: minimum 5-6 hours should be kept aside every day for studying along with an extra hour for revision.
  5. At the end of the day revise whatever you have studied throughout the day
  6. Depending on what type of person you are you can divide the day accordingly. For morning people it is best to learn the subject in the morning and practice and revise in the evening. Whereas for evening person, another way round can be done
  7. Do not forget to keep space in the plan for practicing questions every day
  8. Once in a week, you can take up some test of the topics you have studied like YB study offers.
  9. Following the layout of the time table, you should start studying. Whenever you sit down to study, make it a habit to make short notes side by side. This helps in a lot of ways. First, it will help in making the learning and memorizing process quicker as writing things down makes our mind to remember things more.
