Physico Exam Format
EXAM FORMAT Physico is a 2-hours test which comprised of three parts:
- Part A consists of multiple-choice questions, where each question has only one correct answer out of four given choices. Students will be penalized for wrong answers. Every wrong answer cancels the score of one-third of a correct answer.
- Part B consists of short answer questions of various types such as fill in the blanks, tick correct choices and True/False.
- Part C consists of structured questions. The questions only require knowledge of general secondary school physics syllabus. Mechanics: Kinematics, Dynamics, Statics, Conservation Laws, Oscillations and Waves, Fluid Mechanics Thermodynamics: Thermal Physics, Ideal Gas Electromagnetism: Electrostatics, Circuits, Magnetism, Electromagnetic Induction Light and Optics: Electromagnetic Waves, Geometric Optics Modern Physics: Quantum Physics, Relativity, Nuclear Physics To allow equal opportunities for all secondary school students most questions are designed by putting emphasis on the application of core concepts and logical and analytical thinking rather than knowledge alone. Sufficient guidance will be included in the questions covering advanced topics.
