Frequently Asked Questions: MDCAT & NUMS Physics

Provincial MDCAT examinations (UHS, SZABMU, KMU, DUHS) place strong emphasis on conceptual proportionalities (e.g. how kinetic energy changes when momentum triples), graphical interpretation, and core theory. NUMS Physics tends to feature more multi-step numerical problem solving with formula substitution under strict 1-minute pacing.

Master scientific notation, powers of ten, standard approximations (such as g = 9.8 or 10 m/s², pi² ≈ 10, e = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C), and unit dimensional analysis. Eliminating impossible options based on units and order of magnitude cuts calculation time by more than half.

Historically, Force and Motion, Electrostatics, Current Electricity, Work and Energy, Waves and Oscillations, and Electromagnetism account for over 70% of all physics questions in past papers from 2008 through 2026.

Examiners do not ask for written proofs, but they frequently test intermediate ratios, limiting conditions, and dependencies (such as range vs maximum height of a projectile, or terminal velocity dependence on radius squared).
