BITSAT 2020 MOST IMPORTANT TOPICS / Chapters
CHEMISTRY
Some of the topics are extremely important and one cannot imagine missing out any of them. The most vital areas which generally fetch good amount of questions include chemical bonding, atomic structure, p-block elements, carboxylic acid & its derivatives, mole concepts etc. Some other topics which are equally important include s-block elements, solid state, general organic chemistry, chemical kinetics, environmental chemistry. Domains like gaseous state, redox reactions, surface chemistry, solutions and polymers should be practices only once you are done with the rest of the syllabus.
The important chapters with their weightage in the exam are tabulated below:

Logical Reasoning: Logical Reasoning test is designed to evaluate the ability of the candidates to use reasoning to solve verbal and non-verbal problems. Candidates should be able to think logically, interpret data correctly, understand relationships, find out missing numbers or words, and apply rules to new and different contexts. Candidates should be able to complete analogies and missing links, follow directions, classify words, and establish sequences. The important topics are:
This list of topics is highly significant in the sense that it reveals the chief areas which you cannot dare to ignore. But, that does not mean that you can completely rely on these topics. Suppose, if a single questions was asked form a particular section in 2013, it is quite possible that it may fetch around 3-4 questions this year. This list is only to give lead your preparation in the right direction. |
