Exams that test Physics
Every exam on TestUstad that examines Physics, and how much of each paper it is worth. The weightage is what decides how much of your preparation Physics deserves: at 80 of 100 MCQs it is 80% of the Lecturer Physics Test paper on its own.

How to prepare Physics for your test
Work one chapter at a time, not the whole subject. Reading Physics end to end feels productive and is the slowest way to raise a score. Pick a single chapter, solve its MCQs until you are consistently above 80 percent, and only then move on. There are 20 to get through.
Read the explanation on every question you get wrong. This is the whole reason to practise online rather than from an answer key. A wrong answer is only useful if it tells you which fact you were missing, so every Physics MCQ here carries a written explanation and no question can be published without one.
Start where the marks are. Across the papers we have counted, Waves, Force and Motion and Nuclear Physics carry the most Physics questions. A weak chapter near the top of the table above costs you more marks than a weak one near the bottom, so the order you revise in matters as much as the hours you put in.
Finish with mixed, timed practice. Recalling a fact under the clock is a different skill from recognising it while you revise, and it is the one the paper actually tests. Once several chapters feel solid, sit a timed test that mixes them rather than practising one chapter at a time.
What is in the Physics question bank
13,934 published Physics MCQs, every one of them carrying the correct answer and a written explanation. 1,824 of them are tagged with the year of the real paper they came from; the rest are written to the same syllabus and the same style.
Physics preparation by exam
Each exam hub adds the things that are true of that paper alone: its pattern, its subject weightage, its solved past papers and a study plan built around its date.
Physics MCQs: frequently asked questions
Are these Physics MCQs free?
Yes. Every Physics MCQ on TestUstad is free to read and practise, with unlimited attempts, no daily limit and no account required. There is no trial that expires and no paywall on the question bank. Only full-length mock tests and long-term progress tracking are paid.
Do the Physics MCQs come with answers and explanations?
Yes. Every Physics question shows the correct answer and a written explanation of why that option is correct, not just an answer key letter. A question cannot be published on TestUstad without an explanation.
How many Physics MCQs are there?
There are 13,934 published Physics MCQs on TestUstad, organised across 20 chapters. All of them are free, and new questions are added regularly.
Are the Physics MCQs chapter-wise?
Yes. The Physics MCQs are split into 20 chapters and 71 subtopics beneath them so you can practise one chapter at a time instead of working through the whole subject. You can also practise every Physics question together from the "All MCQs" page.
Which exams do these Physics MCQs help with?
The same Physics bank is used for every exam that tests Physics, including Lecturer Physics Test, Subject Specialist Physics Test, NET, NUMS, MDCAT, ETEA MDCAT. A Physics question does not change between exams, so practising here prepares you for all of them at once.
Are these Physics MCQs only for Lecturer Physics Test?
No. Lecturer Physics Test is the paper that carries the most Physics, at 80 of its 100 MCQs, but the same Physics bank is drawn by every other exam that examines the subject, including Subject Specialist Physics Test, NET, NUMS, MDCAT, ETEA MDCAT. Nothing here is written for one paper: a Physics fact is the same fact whichever exam asks it, so you can prepare for all of them from this one page.
Which Physics chapters are most important?
Across the 48 solved Physics papers on TestUstad, covering 2005 to 2025, the chapters asked about most are Waves, Force and Motion, Nuclear Physics, Current Electricity, Electromagnetism. Each chapter on this page shows the share of past-paper questions it accounted for, so you can see the ranking rather than take our word for it.
Are these Physics MCQs from past papers?
1,824 Physics MCQs on TestUstad carry the year of the real paper they came from, and the rest are written to the same syllabus and the same style. Every one of them is solved online with the correct answer and an explanation instead of being handed to you as a PDF, so the paper is something you sit rather than something you read.
How should I prepare Physics for a test?
Work one chapter at a time rather than reading the whole subject end to end. Solve that chapter's MCQs until you are consistently above 80 percent, read the explanation on every question you get wrong, and move on only then. There are 20 Physics chapters to get through. Once several chapters feel solid, sit a timed test that mixes them, because recalling a fact under the clock is a different skill from recognising it while you revise.
Do I need to sign up to practise Physics MCQs?
No. You can practise Physics MCQs on TestUstad without creating an account, without giving an email address and without a card. An account only saves your history and progress across sessions.
