1st Year Physics Paper Scheme & Time Management (2025)
Physics is not just about derivations; it is a race against time. The total time allowed is 3 Hours for 85 Marks. Most students fail to complete the last Long Question because they spend too much time on Short Questions.
This Time Management Sheet by Superior College provides the exact minutes you should spend on each section to finish with 5 minutes left for revision.
⚠️ The "3-Minute Rule" for Short Qs
You have to attempt 22 Short Questions (44 Marks).
Strategy: Allocate exactly 3 Minutes per question.
Do not write long paragraphs. Write the definition, formula, and unit. If you spend 5 minutes on one short question, you will miss a Long Question later!
📘 Long Question Pairing Scheme 2025
To attempt 3 Long Questions effectively, you must know which chapters pair together. Prepare these combinations:
(Vectors + Motion)
(Work + Waves)
(Circular + Oscillation)
(Fluids + Heat)
