Welcome to Set-03: The Science Special.
You have successfully completed Set-01 (General GK) and mastered local knowledge in Set-02 (West Bengal GK). Now, let’s talk about the most scoring subject: General Science.
Why Science Matters in WBP?
In previous years (2022-24), WBP Prelims papers had approx 6 to 8 questions from Everyday Science. These questions do not require you to be a scientist; they test your basic observation skills.
This Mock Test Covers:
- Physics: Units, Light, Sound, and Inventions.
- Biology: Human Body, Vitamins, and Diseases (Most Important).
- Chemistry: Chemical Names and pH Values.
- Total Questions: 20
- Level: Easy to Moderate (Class 10th Level).
- Target Score: 18/20 (Science has no ambiguity).

The Ultimate Science Cheat Sheet for WBP 2026
General Science is the “Hidden Gem” of the WBP Constable exam. While everyone studies History and Geography, smart students score full marks in Science because the syllabus is limited and factual. Unlike History, the chemical formula of Salt will never change!
This Set-03 Mock Test was designed to test your basics. Below is the Detailed Study Material that covers 90% of the Science questions asked in WBP exams.
1. Physics: Units & Measurements (Must Memorize)
In every WBP exam, at least one question comes from “SI Units”. Do not lose marks here. Memorize this table:
| Quantity | SI Unit | Symbol |
|---|---|---|
| Length | Meter | m |
| Mass | Kilogram | kg |
| Time | Second | s |
| Force | Newton | N |
| Work / Energy | Joule | J |
| Power | Watt | W |
| Frequency | Hertz | Hz |
| Pressure | Pascal | Pa |
Did You Know?
Light Year is NOT a unit of time. It is a unit of Distance (distance traveled by light in one year). This question was asked in WBP 2021.
2. Biology: Vitamins & Diseases (High Weightage)
This is the favorite topic of WBP paper setters. You must know the chemical names and deficiency diseases.
| Vitamin | Chemical Name | Deficiency Disease |
|---|---|---|
| Vitamin A | Retinol | Night Blindness (Ratondhi) |
| Vitamin B1 | Thiamine | Beri-Beri |
| Vitamin C | Ascorbic Acid | Scurvy (Bleeding Gums) |
| Vitamin D | Calciferol | Rickets (Weak Bones) |
| Vitamin K | Phylloquinone | Non-Clotting of Blood |
3. Scientific Instruments
Match the instrument with its use:
- Barometer: Measures Atmospheric Pressure.
- Lactometer: Measures Purity of Milk.
- Seismograph: Measures Earthquake Intensity.
- Hygrometer: Measures Humidity in Air.
- Sphygmomanometer: Measures Blood Pressure.
4. Chemistry: Common Chemical Names
WBP exams often ask the scientific name of household items.
- Common Salt: Sodium Chloride (NaCl)
- Baking Soda: Sodium Bicarbonate (NaHCO3)
- Washing Soda: Sodium Carbonate (Na2CO3)
- Bleaching Powder: Calcium Oxychloride (CaOCl2)
- Vinegar: Acetic Acid (CH3COOH)
5. Important Human Body Facts
Quick fire facts for last minute revision:
- Largest Bone: Femur (Thigh Bone).
- Smallest Bone: Stapes (Ear).
- Largest Gland: Liver.
- Universal Donor Blood Group: O Negative (O-).
- Universal Recipient Blood Group: AB Positive (AB+).
- Normal Blood Pressure: 120/80 mmHg.
