Chemistry difficulty mix
Easy Moderate Difficult

How is difficulty decided?
Our question bank doesn't carry official difficulty grades (NTA doesn't publish any). So PadhoNa estimates each question's difficulty from what it demands: how long its worked solution is and how many steps it takes, whether the answer is numerical, statement, matching and assertion formats, figures, and the length of the question.
Within each subject, the lightest 45% are marked Easy, the next 47% Moderate and the heaviest 8% Difficult. Treat it as a guide; your own experience depends on your preparation.
