How do I crack NSEA in 12th?,I'm very passionate about Astronomy, Kindly recommend strategy and books to follow.
If you want to get into international Olympiads, NSEA and NSEP are the initial steps that you have to clear.
The good side of giving NSEA is that the cut off for class 12 is different from that of class 11. Being learned in the field might be a perk, but it is absolutely not necessary to score good in NSEA. You need to be good at Physics and Math, which means you need to be accurate and quick in your calculations. Important topics include-
- Probability
- Gravitation
- Optics
- Mechanics
- Thermodynamics
- Waves (electromagnetism)
One perk that the NSEP has is that the level of questions is easier than what is asked in JEE mains. If your preparation is up to that level, you will crack NSEP easily. Get a good foundation by completely understanding all the topics of class 11 and 12.
There are 70 questions that you need to solve in just 2 hours, so speed is one thing that you should work on.
