Frequently asked questions

Is the Physics textbook enough to score well, or do I need extra notes?

No single book covers CET. Use the official syllabus as your checklist, pick a standard reference per topic, and spend most of your time on past papers and timed practice — the exam rewards problem-solving speed far more than re-reading.

How should I study the Physics textbook chapter by chapter?

Cover the high-weightage chapters first (use the exam pattern as a guide), make a one-page summary per chapter, and immediately solve a few past-paper questions on it. Active recall beats passive re-reading.
