10th Class Physics Pairing Scheme 2027 Punjab Board

The 60 marks of 10th class Physics, part by part

Twelve of the 60 marks are MCQs and 48 are written. The written part holds three short questions, in each of which you choose 5 parts out of 8, which gives 30 marks, and three long questions of 9 marks from which you answer two, which gives 18. Short questions therefore have to be faced in full, while one long question can be left.

To compare Physics with the other four science papers, open the 10th class science pairing scheme.

Twelve chapters, numbered 10 to 21

The numbers below are the ones printed in the book, so the list starts at 10 and ends at 21. Use them to read the scheme image.

10. Thermal Physics
11. Transfer of Thermal Energy
12. Waves
13. Sound
14. Light
15. Electrostatics
16. Electricity
17. Electromagnetism
18. Electromagnetic Induction and Electromagnetic Waves
19. Electronics
20. Atomic and Nuclear Physics
21. Space and Environment

What a twelve-chapter book means for your plan

Twelve chapters set against three short questions means that each short question spreads over several chapters. The scheme image shows the chapter numbers beside every question, so read it before you cut the book into weeks.

The book falls into natural blocks: heat and its transfer, then waves, sound and light, then electricity and magnetism, and finally the modern topics of electronics, the nucleus and space. Planning by block is sensible, but check your blocks against the grouping on the image before you rely on them.

Choice appears only in the long part. That makes it unwise to drop a whole block because it feels hard, since the short questions still reach into it.

A plan that follows the shape of the book

1. Spend a fortnight per block, and close each block with a written test of one numerical from every chapter in it.
2. Collect the formulas of a chapter on one card with the unit of every symbol, and keep the cards in book order.
3. Draw ray diagrams, circuit diagrams and wave sketches by hand until you can reproduce them without the page.
4. Treat the last two chapters, Atomic and Nuclear Physics and Space and Environment, as full chapters and not as bonus reading.
5. In the final fortnight, solve mixed sets in which one question comes from each block.

Slips that cost Physics marks

• Leaving out the unit in the final line of a numerical.
• Studying circuits as pictures without being able to calculate with them.
• Rushing through the first heat chapters because they look like a revision of earlier classes.
• Postponing the MCQs, although they make up a fifth of the paper.
