Multiple Choice Tests and Exams in Physics: 12 Super Useful Tips (IB, A-Level, CBSE, AP etc.)

Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ) are exams or tests (like the IB Physics Paper 1 or the MCQ sections of A-Levels and CBSE), that evaluates the level of a student in Physics, but not only…

Other aspects of a student are evaluated also: the understanding of a question, the capacity to alternative ways of thinking, the ability to think fast under time stress, the adaptation of their knowledge to new situations etc…

As a Physics tutor, aimed at leading my students to success, I have worked on many past papers in physics, including MCQs, and I noticed quite a few easy strategies a student can apply to significantly maximise their grade. I decided to make this video, so that a maximum number of students can benefit from that experience.

In this video, I present 12 tips and strategies to improve your grades at physics MCQs. This comes with many examples and illustrations. As a basis, I use the IB Physics Paper 1 exam. Yet, many of these tips and strategies apply to other MCQ tests in Physics like A Levels, AP and CBSE. Actually many of these strategies apply to all high school exams in physics that have a multiple choice question section.

I hope this will help you reach your grade objectives in Physics, and open the door to the University of your dreams!
