Tick the Romans, then sit them

PMDC MDCAT Physics Units 1–16 — Complete Chapter Checklist 2026

The PMDC Physics list is sixteen rooms. Most students wander. This is the door list, with a quiz behind each door and a note on where the syllabus actually ends.

Edges of the syllabus (so you do not over-revise)

Electronics in this bank is PMDC 13.1 rectification and 13.2 the PN junction. No transistors, no logic gates, no amplifiers. If your FSc book keeps going, park it.

Dawn of Modern Physics stays on 14.1 photons, $E = h f .$ Atomic spectra is Unit 15 line spectra — Bohr levels, Lyman, Balmer, Paschen, Rydberg. Nuclear is 16.1–16.4: composition, random spontaneous decay, half-life, medical uses. Binding-energy tables and reactor diagrams are not the outcome list here.

$g = 10$ m/s² whenever gravity appears. That is a convention of these quizzes and of typical MDCAT numericals, not a suggestion.

A sane order to sit the checklist

Number order is already sane: each unit spends the vocabulary of the one before. If you are short on days, sit 1–4 (mechanics) as a block, 8–12 (fields and circuits) as a block, then 13–16 (the modern tail) as a block. Fluids, waves and heat sit between the blocks and feed both.

Days 1–4: Units 1–4 (vectors through rotation).
Days 5–7: Units 5–7 (fluids, waves, heat).
Days 8–12: Units 8–12 (electrostatics through AC).
Days 13–16: Units 13–16 (electronics, photons, spectra, nuclear).

FAQ

Common questions

How large is the current MDCAT Physics practice bank?

DIFF. currently has 12,278 Physics practice MCQs across 16 chapters. The separate Physics Labs collection contains 640 questions with interactive simulations. Practice-bank counts and simulation counts are separate; not every practice MCQ has a unique lab.

Can I choose my own Physics topics and test length?

Yes. Open any Physics chapter, choose the topics you want to revise, and set a test length up to 180 questions or the selected-topic total, whichever is smaller. Use a small focused drill for a weak concept and a longer timed drill to practise pacing. Chapters can be opened in any order.

Are Physics tests timed, and when can I see answers?

Choose Tutor Mode for explanations after each selection or Timed Exam for a countdown and explanations after submission. Submit Quiz opens the confirmation screen; Submit & View Explanations opens the complete review. You can use the paper map to revisit unanswered or flagged questions before submitting.

How should I combine formula sheets, notes and MCQs?

Read the relevant chapter notes first, then write the formula with its conditions and units. Solve a short drill without looking at the sheet, review mistakes, and check whether the error came from the concept, unit conversion or arithmetic. Return to a timed drill after you can explain why the correct option works.

Should I always use

g = 10

in Physics numericals?

Use the value of gravitational acceleration specified in the question. Some worked examples in these guides use $g = 10$ m/s² for simpler arithmetic; a question that gives $9.8 m/s$ ² must be solved with 9.8. Keep units consistent and avoid rounding intermediate calculations unnecessarily.

Can I save the complete Physics quiz review?

Yes. Submit the test to open its review, then choose Download PDF or Download Review. The saved review contains the questions from that attempt, answer choices, your answers, available correct keys and explanations. Keep it as an error log and revisit the topics you missed.
