How the paper is set
What the theory paper is worth, section by section.
| Section | Question type | Pattern | Marks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Section A | MCQs | 80 × 0.5 | 40 |
| Section B | SRQs | 7 × 4 | 28 |
| Section C | ERQs | 2 × 6 | 12 |
| Theory total | 80 | ||
Marks align with the latest Federal Board (FBISE) Assessment Framework (Grade-XI) under the Inclusive Scheme of Studies 2024 (50% MCQs / 50% Descriptive) for the 2026-27 session.

Start here
Study these chapters first.
Four chapters carry 45.0% of the theory paper — Ch 9 Waves, Ch 8 Heat and Thermodynamics, Ch 12 Electromagnetism, Ch 11 Electricity. Master these first.
The next four — Ch 6 Fluid Mechanics, Ch 4 Rotational and Circular Motion, Ch 14 Particle Physics, Ch 3 Translatory Motion — add 29.5%, taking the running total to 74.5%.
The remaining chapters share the last 25.5%. LAST here does not mean skip — every one of them can set MCQs and short questions.
