Blog 4 :Just another 🩺NEET Aspirant👨🏽‍⚕️ How To Master Physics ?!?!🗿

 Welcome back to the next blog on “Just Another NEET Aspirant”. If you are still reading these blogs, thank you for your support. I hope you can extend my blogs to your friends, families, and other future NEET Aspirants it will make a difference in their NEET preparation Journey. Every small habit counts. It’s a compounding effect just as James Clear said in his book “Atomic Habits”. So don’t forget to click the share button at the end of this. 

So we have discussed deciding your school, day scholar, or hosteller, and how to kickstart your NEET journey. What’s NEXT? So now that you know how to approach your NEET Journey, let me guide you on focusing on each subject included in NEET. 

This blog is going to be about physics.

As you know the current NEET pattern is 35 questions in section A which is compulsory to attend and you can choose to answer 10 questions out of the 15 questions in section B. The syllabus that is included in NEET is 

Chapters & Weightage(No.of Questions) 

11th standard  Units and Measurements (2) Kinematics (1) Laws Of Motion (1) Work, Energy, and Power (2) Rotational Motion & System of Particles (1)  Gravitation (2) Mechanical Properties Of Solids And Liquids (1)  Thermodynamics (1) Kinetic Theory Of Gases (1) Oscillations and Waves (1)

12th standard  Electrostatics (2) Current Electricity (4) Magnetic Effects of Current And Magnetism (2) Electromagnetic Induction And Alternating Current (1) Electromagnetic Waves (2) Ray & Wave Optics (1) Dual Nature Of Matter And Radiation (1) Atoms and Nuclei (2) Electronic Devices (1) Experimental Skills (1)

After knowing the main topics covered in the NEET Exam, you need to be able to identify which are the more difficult topics or topics that will demand more time to be set aside. For example, during my preparation, 

I felt that the topics that are highlighted in orange are the topics that were slightly challenging and the topics that are highlighted in red are the topics that were challenging for me and it took me 4 or 5 or even 6 times to the concepts. This might be different for different students but more or less this is the relevant trend. 

This is the 1st step for the students - ” To identify their weaknesses” and the 2nd step for the students is to take note of the topics with higher weightage and ensure that the students are well-versed in those topics that are holding the bulk of the marks in the exams. 

i.e Current electricity, Gravitation, Electromagnetic Waves

Nature of Physics 

From my perspective, physics is a subject that we need to first work on understanding & learning the concepts. Then, only we need to perfect the concept by doing both NCERT-based statement questions and numericals. Moreover, we need to strengthen our formula bank for each topic through active recall. The more you practice, the better you get at the game. There is no other secret formula. 

The reason I am saying this is that as soon as you start practicing 200 and 300 questions, the more efficient you get at the topic. The same NEET question models keep on repeating and you can start to guess the answer by just looking at the question. That is the level of mastery you should be aiming at. 

Therefore, to aim to get 180/180, you need to perfect your concepts and practice more and more questions, so that each nook and corner of the chapter is under your control. 

Perfection of Concept 

So how to perfect your concept? For concept clarity, I would recommend 

1. HC Verma Concepts of Physics ( It is of JEE standard but the basic NEET concepts are covered beautifully) 

2. Green Park Coaching Center Physics Modules (even though you are not studying in GPCC, you can get it from previous students, and with the numerous examples given and the variety of questions, The explanations given are just great.)

Question Bank 

To practice hundreds and hundreds of questions, you need to have a good book that contains about 200 to 300 questions per topic and there are thousands of books out there

1. Allen module Questions 

2. Aakash module Questions

3. Pearson

4. MTG

5. Errorless 

… 

There are so many options to choose from one thing that you need to keep in mind is that 

DON’T OVERBUY BOOKS & WASTE MONEY”

• It is a common thinking and urge for the new students to buy every single book that is available in the market thinking that they will be perfect. The harsh reality is that too many cooks spoil the soup. You will soon come to realize that you won’t have enough time to solve all the different books. My suggestion is that you should buy 1 and at max buy 2 books for each subject and just focus on that. This is because in every publication 90% of the questions would be repeated and only 10% of the questions would be different in each publication.  So it is not worth it to waste your money on so many books that you won’t even have the time to complete. This is a mistake that I made and I hope this information prevents you from making the same mistakes.  Question Models 

  
  

  There are two important models that we can observe in the NEET Exams, one of the models is numerical and the second type of question is statement type questions. From experience, I know most of us will be keener to practice numerical only but soon we will start to realize that we will be scoring high marks in physics (160+) and the marks that we will be losing are those tricky statement-type questions. 

  
  

  So my advice is that to get the perfect score in physics, never neglect 11th and 12th physics NCERT textbooks. This is because, in the past 4-5 years, all the different types of statement questions have been directly taken from NCERT. The only issue is that during exam time, we struggle with those questions, as we are not concentrating on NCERT.
