 PREFACE
Target’s ‘NEET: Chemistry PSP (Previous Solved Papers)’ is a compilation of questions asked in the past 32
years (2019-1988) in the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET), formerly known as the All India
Pre-Medical Test (AIPMT). The book is crafted in accordance with the Std. XI and Std. XII NCERT textbook.
The book consists of topic - wise categorization of questions. Each chapter is further segregated into
subtopics and thereafter all the questions pertaining to a subtopic are arranged year-wise starting with the
latest year. To aid students, we have also provided hints for questions wherever deemed necessary.
A graphical (% wise) analysis of the subtopics for the past 32 years as well as 7 years
(2013 onwards) has been provided at the onset of every topic. Both the graphs will help the students to

T
understand and analyse each subtopic’s distribution for AIPMT (32 years) and NEET-UG (7 Years).
We are confident that this book will comprehensively cater to needs of students and effectively assist them

N
to achieve their goal.
We welcome readers’ comments and suggestions which will enable us to refine and enrich this book further.
All the best to all Aspirants!

with the introduction of NEET in 2013. Although it received a huge backlash and was criticised
for the following two years, NEET went on to replace AIPMT in 2016. The introduction of

The two graphs will fundamentally help the students to understand that the (weightage)
distribution of a particular topic can vary i.e., a particular subtopic having the most weightage
for AIPMT may not necessarily be the subtopic with the most weightage for NEET.
PL

 The two graphs provide a subtopic’s weightage distribution over the past 32 years (for AIPMT)
and over the past 7 years (for NEET-UG).
 The students can use these graphs as a self-evaluation tool by analyzing and comparing a
particular subtopic’s weightage with their preparation of the subtopic. This exercise would
help the students to get a clear picture about their strength and weakness based on the

beneficial to important subtopics as per weightage of a particular topic which will further help them in
the students? planning the study structure of a particular chapter.

students and does not guarantee questions from subtopics having the most weightage, in the
