Syllabus

The two NePhO syllabi, grouped by topic. Use the tabs to switch between the pre-selection and final selection tests.

This syllabus is mostly based on the Secondary Education Curriculum-2076 of grade 11 and a few from grade 12. Problems will mainly focus on testing creativity and understanding of physics rather than testing mathematical skills or speed of working. Additionally, the processing and analysis of scientific data will focus on testing common experimental techniques.
