How to Master Physics

To score good marks in Physics, students need to have a clear understanding of the basic concepts of all topics which are covered in the exam. To understand the basics, NCERT is a highly recommended book that has a very easy language with multiple examples to understand the topic. Students can however study from any book which best suits them but try to stick with only one book at a time.

Another important part of mastering Physics is to solve as many numerical questions as you can. It will help in understanding the practical application of the concepts and principles which you study. Also, regular study and revision is the most important part of mastering Physics. Make a timetable and study as per the schedule.

Studying the complete syllabus is very important as many topics and concepts in Physics are interlinked to each other. It can be seen in various exams like JEE and NEET that a single question sometimes requires concepts from multiple topics, making it precisely important to study the complete syllabus.
