How to use this data
- No single topic dominates here. The 7 topics are spread widely, with 7 asked only once, so cover the whole NCERT chapter rather than a short list.
- 43% of tagged questions were easy, so NCERT lines, definitions and standard examples are worth locking in first.
- Then attempt the chapter's past questions under a timer and note which topics cost you marks.
