The total marks allotted to this paper are  70.
Study all the definitions and derivations and memorize all the formulae and you are guaranteed with approximately 38 marks.
If you are thorough with the concepts, then the numerical and application of laws/ principles can give you approximately 22 marks.
If you have covered all the topics in the syllabus and memorized all the terms and points, then you can assuredly grab another 10 marks.

Unit-wise distribution of marks:

Now that you know what to focus on, go through the following tips to breeze through the exam.

4.Always go for mathematical expressions and technical terms while answering the questions.
5.Wherever possible give labeled diagrams to reduce the number of words in your answers.
6.Whenever you draw a circuit, be careful to show the direction of current and polarity of cells. In case of ray diagrams, don’t forget to give the direction of the rays and the label correctly.
7.Follow standard books for derivations. Do not try to invent new ways for any derivation in the examination hall.
8.Always give step-wise solution to numerical because marks are allotted to each of the steps.
