Physics is complicated, tough and often ends up giving a lot of unnecessary stress to students who have to study the subject! Physics is complex and acing it at the boards can boost your aggregate percentage. Understanding concepts and applying them in the given situations might appear difficult so here are some study tips which will enhance your preparation:

• First, try to understand the topics. Read through the chapters without trying to memorize anything. Just try to understand the concepts.
• Have 3 quick revision lists for:

  > Important formulae
  > Derivations
