Practice CUET Previous Year Papers here. CUET Physics Preparation Tips To specifically target the CUET Physics exam, a candidate must keep the following points in mind: As the Physics subject includes numerical, a candidate should make the habit of making notes of formulas. . If your numerical part is not strong enough, you should take up the theoretical topics first such as Communication, Nuclei, Wave Optics, etc. . Ifyou love doing numerical calculations, then first complete that major portion of the syllabus by picking up the chapters such as Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance, Magnetism, Electric Charge, and Fields, etc. Do make a separate notebook of short notes and difficult questions from different topics of Physics so that you can revise them before the exam.
