Right ‘formula’ for physics paper

Physics preparation often leads to anxiety and stress for students, but they can achieve high scores with the right resources and preparation strategy. As compared to Term I, Term II syllabus of physics is quite easy and scoring.
The question paper is divided into three sections: Section A containing three questions of two marks each, Section B comprising eight questions of three marks each, and Section C contains one case-study based question of five marks.
First and foremost, utilize the 15 minutes reading time fruitfully. During the exam, try to write your descriptive answers in points and give pictorial or graphical illustrations wherever possible. It enhances visibility. Be meticulous in answering questions, units and other details are very important.
Underline the key words or formulae. Use your time wisely. Wasting time on a single question may end up with you getting less score. So, don’t leave any question unanswered. Attempt every question and write what you think is the right answer. The answers should be in accordance with the marks allotted.
Sometimes, students forget to write down the formula when working on numericals. Students should note that some marks are allotted for the formula, and this will result in not scoring the full marks for the numerical.\

TOPIC WISE TIPS:
• In optics, practice diagrams and label them properly with pencil. Don’t forget to put arrows in ray diagrams.
• In semiconductor, do the biasing of diode properly while drawing circuit diagrams. Don’t get confused between half-wave and full-wave rectifier circuits.
• In dual nature, practice all the graphs with proper explanation.
• In atoms & nuclei, practice numerical based questions thoroughly.
• Strictly follow the NCERT textbook.
LAST-MINUTE REVISION TIPS
• Practice graphs and diagrams thoroughly as it helps you score good marks.
• Ensure all the formulae are on your fingertips.
• Practice appropriate answers in the given time limit.
• Learn SI units for all physical entities.
• Be crisp and to the point.
• Try to understand the logic behind the derivations rather than just mugging up.
