Best Way to study Physics NCERT - By AIR - 17 ( 710/720 )

Summary

In this video, Abhiuday, a second-year MBBS student at AIIMS Delhi, shares an effective approach to study Physics using NCERT, focusing on how to score 180/180 in the NEET Physics exam. He highlights key steps such as prioritizing Points to Ponder and Summaries, solving past year questions, studying theoretical notes, and focusing on applications and data. Abhiuday also provides a strategy for efficient revision using condensed notes and encourages students to join his Telegram channel for additional resources. His approach aims to make the often-boring NCERT Physics content more engaging and easier to study.

Takeaways

• 😀 Focus on 'Points to Ponder' and 'Summary' to get the key concepts from each chapter without reading everything.
• 😀 Solve previous year questions to identify commonly asked theoretical concepts and focus on them.
• 😀 Study step-by-step, tackling topics from previous year questions and moving through the material progressively.
• 😀 Prioritize the blue boxes in your NCERT book as they contain important additional information.
• 😀 Pay attention to small notes around derivations, as they often contain important theoretical points.
• 😀 Understand the practical applications of concepts (like total internal reflection or alternating current) as these are frequently asked in NEET.
• 😀 Focus on key data points in the NCERT, as NEET often asks questions based on important values like magnification.
• 😀 Do MCQs only from the back exercises that are relevant and likely to appear in the exam, avoiding lengthy or time-consuming questions.
• 😀 Create a 5-6 page summary of the most important points from all Physics NCERT books for quick last-minute revision before NEET.
• 😀 Use resources like Telegram channels to access consolidated notes and important points for efficient revision.
• 😀 Break down your study into manageable parts and reward yourself for completing each task to make studying more engaging.

Q & A

Why does Abhiuday compare studying Physics NCERT to throwing and catching a pen?

Abhiuday uses the pen analogy to explain how a task that seems boring can be made interesting by adding a reward. He emphasizes that setting a reward can motivate you to complete even mundane tasks, just like how you can make studying Physics NCERT more engaging with the right approach.

What are the key sections to focus on when studying a chapter from Physics NCERT?

Abhiuday suggests focusing on the 'Points to Ponder' and 'Summary' sections first. These provide an overview of the chapter and help break the content into smaller, more manageable portions, making it less overwhelming and easier to study.

How does studying previous year questions help in preparing for NEET Physics?

Studying previous year questions helps identify frequently tested topics. By reviewing these questions, students can focus their efforts on understanding the key sub-topics and avoid wasting time on less important areas, thus improving their chances of scoring well.

What should you do after reading the Points to Ponder and Summary in NCERT?

After reading these sections, Abhiuday advises solving the previous 10 years of NEET questions, specifically the theoretical ones. This will guide you to focus on sub-topics that are regularly tested, reinforcing the most important concepts.

Why are the blue boxes in Physics NCERT important?

The blue boxes in NCERT chapters often contain key conceptual insights and examples. These can provide a deeper understanding of the material and are crucial for NEET, as they often highlight important facts and clarifications relevant to the exam.

What role do theoretical notes and smaller notes around derivations play in studying Physics NCERT?

These smaller notes, especially those highlighting facts about specific concepts (like mass density vs. optical density), help students focus on the theoretical aspects that are often tested in NEET exams, without needing to memorize complex derivations.

Why should students focus on the applications of concepts in Physics NCERT?

Many concepts in Physics NCERT are linked to real-world applications. These applications are often tested in NEET exams, and understanding them can help students connect theory with practice, improving their problem-solving skills and boosting their scores.

What data should be prioritized when studying Physics NCERT for NEET?

Students should prioritize key data points mentioned in NCERT, such as magnification limits in optical devices. These data-driven questions are frequently asked in NEET exams, and being familiar with them can help students quickly answer such questions.

What is the purpose of solving MCQs from the back exercise in NCERT?

MCQs from the back exercise provide practice, but not all are equally valuable. Abhiuday recommends only solving the questions that seem likely to appear in NEET, as some are time-consuming and not directly helpful for exam preparation.

How can students effectively revise Physics NCERT before the NEET exam?

Abhiuday suggests creating a 5-6 page summary of all the important theoretical points from Physics NCERT for quick revision. This summary can help students review all key concepts in a short time, making last-minute revision more efficient.
