SRMHCAT study plan
SRMHCAT · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 6 hours per week
Physics & Chemistry
Map the full Physics and Chemistry syllabus into a one-page checklist and mark each item as confident, shaky, or unknown
Re-derive the core mechanics formulas (kinematics, Newton's laws, work-energy, momentum) from first principles without notes
Solve 30 mixed mechanics numericals under timed conditions and log every error with its cause
Rebuild the mole concept, stoichiometry, and concentration calculations by working 20 quantitative problems
Your checkpoint
A completed syllabus checklist plus an error log of at least 50 attempted problems across Physics and Chemistry
Physics & Chemistry
Work through electrostatics, current electricity, and magnetism problems, writing the governing law beside each solution
Practice organic nomenclature and isomer counting until you can name 25 structures without reference
Solve 40 timed Physics numericals covering electricity and optics
Summarize periodic trends and chemical bonding rules into a single annotated reference sheet
Your checkpoint
A 40-question timed Physics set scored and reviewed, with a corrected solution for every wrong answer
Physics & Chemistry
Cover the remaining Physics units (thermodynamics, waves, modern physics) and solve at least 5 problems per unit
Master chemical equilibrium, ionic equilibrium, and pH calculations through 25 worked problems
Drill dimensional analysis and unit-conversion shortcuts to speed up numerical solving
Build flashcards for 60 high-yield Chemistry facts and formulas and test yourself twice
Your checkpoint
A full-length 45-question Physics and Chemistry mock completed and scored, with a topic-wise accuracy table
Biology & Physics
Complete a cell biology and genetics revision pass, drawing diagrams of mitosis, meiosis, and Mendelian crosses from memory
Solve 30 genetics and molecular biology problems including pedigree and probability questions
Revisit the weakest Physics topics flagged in the week 3 mock and re-solve 20 problems from them
Write one-paragraph summaries of 20 Biology concepts in your own words
Your checkpoint
A one-page genetics and cell biology cheat sheet plus a re-test on your weakest Physics topics showing measurable improvement
Biology & Chemistry
Cover human physiology systems (digestion, circulation, respiration, excretion, nervous) and label blank diagrams from memory
Practice 25 Biology assertion-reason and statement-based questions to sharpen elimination technique
Revise organic reaction mechanisms and functional group conversions through 20 reaction-prediction problems
Compare plant physiology and ecology concepts in a structured table for quick recall
Your checkpoint
A labeled set of five hand-drawn human physiology diagrams reproduced without reference, plus a scored 30-question Biology set
Aptitude and Logical Reasoning & Biology
Practice quantitative aptitude: percentages, ratios, averages, time-speed-distance, and time-work, solving 10 problems per type
Work 20 logical reasoning sets covering series, coding-decoding, blood relations, and syllogisms under a 1-minute-per-question cap
Revisit weak Biology topics from weeks 4 and 5 and re-solve 20 targeted questions
Time yourself on a 30-question aptitude section and record per-type accuracy
Your checkpoint
A timed 30-question aptitude and reasoning test scored, with a per-type accuracy breakdown showing your three weakest question types
Aptitude and Logical Reasoning & Physics & Chemistry
Drill data interpretation sets (tables, bar and pie charts) at 5 sets per session until speed stabilizes
Take two section-wise mocks alternating Physics-Chemistry and Biology-Aptitude to build switching stamina
Review every mock error and tag it as concept gap, calculation slip, or misread question
Re-derive the 20 most-used formulas across Physics and Chemistry from memory in a single sitting
Your checkpoint
Two section-wise mocks completed with a categorized error analysis and a prioritized fix list
Physics & Chemistry & Biology & Aptitude and Logical Reasoning
Take two full-length timed mocks under exam conditions with no breaks or notes
Spend one session per domain revising only flagged weak spots and flashcards
Rehearse a time-allocation strategy per section and confirm it across both mocks
Finalize a one-page summary sheet per domain for last-day revision
Your checkpoint
Two full-length mock scores plus four one-page domain summary sheets ready for final revision
Milestones
Week 2: Physics and Chemistry syllabus checklist fully marked, with at least 80% of items attempted and an error log in active use
Week 4: First full-length Physics and Chemistry mock completed with a topic-wise accuracy table; every topic below 50% accuracy has a scheduled fix in weeks 5-6
Week 6: Aptitude and reasoning per-type accuracy breakdown produced; weakest three types identified and scheduled for week 7 drilling
Week 8: Two full-length mocks completed with overall scores trending upward and all four domain summary sheets finalized
