Start here
Study these chapters first.
Four chapters carry 43.5% of the theory paper — Ch 21 Nuclear Physics, Ch 17 Electric Circuits, Ch 18 Electronics, Ch 19 Electromagnetism. Master these first.
The next four — Ch 13 Sound, Ch 14 Optics, Ch 16 Current Electricity, Ch 10 Heat Capacity and Modes of Heat Transfer — add 34.3%, taking the running total to 77.8%.
The remaining chapters share the last 22.2%. LAST here does not mean skip — every one of them can set MCQs and short questions.
