Preparing for NET Physics

The number of questions of physics is different for different tests.

• Engineering: 60 Mcqs
• Computer Science: 60 Mcqs
• Medical: 30 Mcqs
• Architechure: 30 Mcqs
• Business Studies: Nothing from Physics

I have taken both the tests of NUST, NET-1 and NET-2, and the only section which I found most difficult in both of them was Physics. I don’t mean to scare you but it was entirely different from all other entrance tests I took.

Now I am going to tell you something that, I hope, will INSHALLAH help you to prepare physics portion.

The first and foremost thing to prepare for this test is all the dimensions of different constants present in your book. I was given to find the correct dimension of Resistance ‘’R’’ from Ohm’s Law. I found it very puzzling because I had never calculated the dimensions of R. I had solved the dimensions of all other ‘’easy one’’ constants, but as our teacher used to say, ‘’R jaise Mushkil constants NAE aate test me’’ so I neglected. But you please don’t repeat my mistake and do all the toughest dimensions.

Book-2 of physics matters more than book-1 so you should have a good grip on it. Most of test comes from book-2.

After that, you should be able to understand all the formulae of Book. Try to learn them by writing each and every formula five times. You should also be able to understand the various forms of the very same formula. For example the formula for time period of Pendulum can be asked in various forms so try to make its various forms yourself.

After that another thing I found very interesting was the use of different laws in an otherwise manner. For example in the topics of electricity all the laws have been explained for positive charge but you should also be able to understand that what happens when charge is negative. Or what happens when the current flows in opposite direction. This was pretty easy for me because I had practiced them already. But most of students don’t practice these laws for opposite situations and hence Physics portion is just doomed. All the electricity concepts matter a lot because I had observed nearly 6-7 Mcqs from it.

Try to practice all the numericals relating to electricity, it will also help you

After that, you cannot neglect the information present in tables present adjacent to the topic. Not the statistical data rather the summary of topics. The table present at the very end of book, about the particles and sub-particles was the favorite of Nust-admins. Every time a single or two Mcqs are from there and it should be well crammed. And the table showing half-life of elements is also must-to-be-learnt.

At the end you should practice maximum and most difficult Mcqs from various books and SAT can also be used by Fsc students for a thorough preparation. The numerical are not so difficult in physics but still you should prepare particularly of second book.

In case of any confusion feel free to ask. :)
