NEET Physics Notes help you prepare and revise faster all the important concepts and key formula in NEET Physics. Short and compact notes help us in quickly revising the concepts and formula periodically. Same is true for Physics also. The physics concepts and formulas of class 11 also you need to prepare for NEET along with the concepts and formulas for class 12.
Class 11 Physics Notes for NEET, you should also revise during your summer breaks after plus one. This would help you recapitulate the entire physics of class 11. While you study and prepare for NEET physics for class 12, you should not lose sight of the class 11 physics. That's why it is important that you have all the Physics NEET Notes, both for class 11 and class 12 handy and in a crisp and short format so that you can revise it often.
Making notes is a time consuming exercise. At the same time, one needs to be thorough while making these physics study notes, lest one might miss on any important concept. The task becomes more complicated when you refer many extra books to grab that extra bit of knowledge from the best physics books for NEET. Either your notes become scattered on a topic across multiple pages or if you are in the habit of underlining in the books, then again these important notes are scattered across different books, class notes and tutorial notes.
We, at CareerOrbits deeply understand the needs and extreme shortage of time at the disposal of the students preparing for NEET. At the same time the need to revise the notes cannot be over-emphasised. So, the team of experts have done all the hard work for you and have put together the important concepts, the key formula with illustrations and diagrams in these Physics Study Notes. These Physics Study Notes are so designed that students are able to revise a chapter in two hours to six hours depending upon the depth of the chapter. This is a great time saving for all those students who are preparing for NEET. You have prepared the Physics chapters from your school text books but you still need to revise it often. This helps you save a lot of your valuable time.
These study notes for NEET Physics might appear to be short to you but these enable deeper learning wherever you need to. With the passage of time, we tend to forget some concepts or probably need to quickly refresh our understanding of some concepts selectively. To your extreme delight, we have highlighted all those concepts, those important key concepts used anywhere in these study notes for NEET Physics. If you think you are not able to recall any particular concept in Physics or have a faint memory of that concept, you just need to move your cursor over that concept. In the first stage, you get an instant popup where the definition and key formula of that concept is mentioned. In most of the cases, this should help you refresh your memory. And in case, you still feel like studying that concept in details, you can click on Read More option and get the complete study note right there and then with illustrations. This is a boon for the time starved students preparing for NEET.

Mostly NEET students would commit the serious mistake of preparing Physics like a theory subject. They would memorise the concepts and mug up the formulas. No matter how much you have memorised the concepts and formulas, you would not be able to perform well in Physics, unless you have mastered the application of these Physics concepts. Don't miss to check out our other blog on NEET Physics MCQs or NEET Physics questions and learn how to prefect your application skills and problem solving abilities.
You would also need to have equally power packed notes for the other two subjects to be able to crack NEET. Here are the links for NEET Biology and Chemistry preparation.
For Physics preparation:
Use the physics notes for quickly preparing the concepts.
After that, you can practice the physics questions for NEET in the Question bank.
Then take the chapter tests for each biology chapter.
Finally attempt the biology full syllabus tests.
For NEET Chemistry preparation:
Use the NEET Chemistry notes for quickly preparing the concepts.
After that, you can practice the questions in the NEET Chemistry Question bank.
Then take the Chemistry chapter tests for each chapter.
Finally attempt the chemistry full syllabus tests.
I know, for most of the students, Physics is the hardest of the three subjects. If you have any confusion or have a query as to how you should use these physics short notes for NEET UG, you should write to us in the comments below. We would be happy to help and guide you.
The notes are good. I wanted to know, that if I join for the course, would I get all the physics Class 11 NEET notes, as well as the 12th notes?
