NSEP Syllabus - Details

Below a table has been given in which the chapters and the most important topics according to the chapters have been listed out. This will allow the students to filter out the topics which are not important and mainly focus on the ones which are. 

The National Standard Test in Physics, or NSEP, is a voluntary exam in which many students from around the world participate in order to assess their analytical abilities, critical thinking, and general understanding. The National Science Olympiad Program (NSEP) is the first step in preparing for the national Olympiad program in physics. Only by having a thorough understanding of each subject would students be able to ace the test.

The NSEP test is unlike any other exam, and it is unlike standard school exams in that it requires in-depth knowledge of the subject. Before beginning NSEP training, it is required of the applicant to thoroughly review the syllabus and then devise a strategic plan to ace the test. It is important to have a thorough understanding of the syllabus because it helps the subject to sort out subjects that are irrelevant to the exams. After being acquainted with the syllabus, students should devise a strategic strategy and adhere to it to achieve a high score on the NSEP test.
