Science is 4–5 marks every paper but the syllabus feels endless. Focus on these high-frequency topics in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology.
SSC asks the same topics repeatedly — mostly Class 9–10 level. Master the high-frequency list and skip the rest.
Units & Measurements (SI units, dimensional analysis) Newton's Laws of Motion (application questions) Light (reflection, refraction, lenses, mirage) Sound (frequency, pitch, Doppler effect) Electricity (Ohm's law, resistors, conductors) Work, Energy, Power (formulas + units) Gravitation (free fall, escape velocity)
"What is the SI unit of X?" (memorise the list) "Which phenomenon explains Y?" (refraction, dispersion) Numerical on Ohm's law / power
Periodic Table (groups, periods, properties) Acids, Bases, Salts (pH, indicators) Common chemical compounds (uses + formulas) Metals & Non-metals (reactivity, properties) Carbon & its compounds (allotropes, hydrocarbons) Oxidation-Reduction
"Which gas is released when X reacts with Y?" "The chemical formula of common salt/baking soda is?" "Which metal is the best conductor?"
Human body systems (digestive, respiratory, circulatory, nervous) Vitamins & diseases (deficiency diseases) Plant physiology (photosynthesis, respiration) Cell biology (organelles + functions) Genetics (Mendel's laws, DNA basics) Reproduction (plant + animal)
"Deficiency of vitamin X causes?" "Which organ produces insulin/bile/RBCs?" "Photosynthesis occurs in which part of the plant?"
Vitamin-disease table: memorise as flashcards (A→night blindness, C→scurvy, D→rickets, B1→beriberi) Organ-function pairs: pancreas→insulin, liver→bile, kidney→filtration Compound-use pairs: NaCl→common salt, NaHCO₃→baking soda, CaO→quicklime
Detailed organic chemistry mechanisms Advanced physics (relativity, quantum) Botany/taxonomy beyond basics
