Being a biology student I can understand the fear of Physics for a NEET Candidate. I was also very much scared about how I will go through physics because all the concepts were just snapping above my head without even touching me. And I opted for self-study for NEET so I had to figure my way out.
Difficulty level: Physics determines your rank and hence your college, as it is comparatively difficult from other subjects.
Derivations are important to understand: It is important to focus on how things are derived in physics instead of cramming derivations.
What to read in NCERT: It is important to go through NCERT summary points and points to ponder in blue boxes.
After a lot of research, I figures that cracking physics in NEET was more of a strategic thing because the questions were so different than JEE.
Meanwhile, I came across EduRev, and it has all the resources that we need for clearing NEET. So here’s how I managed to get through physics.
Practice Questions
1. Solving NCERT Examples & questions is a must. EduRev provides all Solved Exemplar and Exercise questions.
2. H.C. Verma and D.C. Pandey are also very good books for practicing questions from the exam point of view.
3. Irodov Book can be preferred for some of the topics for question-solving( It is not necessary for NEET) Try Solving Irodov only if you have that time in your hand.
4. Attempt JEE mains questions/ AIEEE questions. You can practice JEE physics chapter-wise and topic-wise questions from EduRev.
5. To Analyse and practice questions through PYQs of Physics. PYQs can help you to understand the type of questions coming in Physics in past few years.
6. Concepts building: Understand concepts first from teachers. Watch videos and after that start doing questions.
7. Chapterwise Test Practice: While preparing chapters in Physics, you can give chapter-wise tests as well as topics tests for a better understanding of your weak and strong areas.
8. Standard Formulas: Standard formulas should be remembered properly. Maintain a formula book for yourself so that you can keep in mind the formulas any time you need them. I referred to EduRev’s complied list of formulas for reference.
Keep your cool and develop a plan for answering the paper, such as which topic to attend first, how much time to give each subject, how to perform rough work with a pencil, how to leave doubtful problems first, and so on.
All the best for the examination!
