Trend analysis

Narrative

• Algebra is the largest Math bucket every year (complex, matrices, probability, P&C, sequences).
• Calculus peaked in 2020 (~44%) and stabilised near 24–29% from 2021–2026.
• Coordinate Geometry (conics) oscillates: spikes in 2021, 2022, 2026; quieter in 2023 and 2025.
• Vectors & 3D spiked in 2023; still a reliable multi-correct/numerical presence.
• Recent papers (2024–2026) emphasise multi-concept stems: conics+area, DE+functions.

Signals

Rising: Multi-concept Calculus–Conics joins, Linked numerical stems (esp. 2025–26 P2)

Falling: Isolated single-topic easy Calculus volume vs 2020 peak

Stable: Algebra core, Calculus as #2 cluster, Annual Vectors & 3D appearance

Internal summary

• 5 top-level topics covering 242 tagged questions.
• Core-daily intensity topics: Algebra, Calculus.
• Rising topics: Vectors & 3D.
• Falling topics: Algebra, Calculus, Coordinate Geometry.

Planning tips

• Allocate weekly hours roughly proportional to shareOfSubject, then boost rising topics by +20%.
• Inside each topic, drill the top 2–3 subtopics first — they usually carry >50% of that topic.
• Use typeMix: if MC% is high, practise option-elimination; if NUM% is high, timed calculation.
• Link weeklyPlan items to relatedMixedIds so joins are practised, not only silos.

Narrative

• Mechanics remains #1 but cooled from ~42–45% (2020–21) to ~24–28% (2023–26).
• Magnetism/EMI/AC strengthened again in 2024 and 2026 (~15%).
• Optics is a persistent second tier; experimental/error analysis appeared clearly in 2026 P2.
• Thermo cycles and Waves/SHM recur as multi-step numericals.
• Linked stems join fluids+capacitance and rotation+collision (2026 P2).

Signals

Rising: EMI/AC & mutual inductance, Experimental physics / error analysis, Optics consistency

Falling: Mechanics share (still #1 absolute)

Stable: Mechanics leadership, Thermo presence, Modern Physics as compact scorer

Internal summary

• 9 top-level topics covering 235 tagged questions.
• Core-daily intensity topics: Mechanics.
• Rising topics: Optics, Waves/SHM/Sound, Magnetism/EMI/AC.
• Falling topics: Mechanics, Electrostatics.

Narrative

• Physical fell from ~72% (2020) to ~35% (2026) but remains essential for numerical marks.
• Organic rose steadily: ~11% (2020) → ~38% (2026).
• Inorganic stays ~20–30% with coordination + bonding/VSEPR as scoring anchors.
• Biomolecules, polymers and practical analysis (Kjeldahl/Carius) are regular in recent papers.
• Expect Organic mechanism + practical/biomolecule joins to stay high-probability.

Signals

Rising: Organic (GOC, carbonyl, biomolecules, polymers, practical)

Falling: Physical share (not Physical importance)

Stable: Inorganic coordination/bonding, Physical thermo/equilib/electrochem numericals
