Please help for my Nuclear Physics exams!!

I’ve got my Nuclear Physics paper coming up next month, and this is my final attempt, so I really can’t afford to mess it up.

The exam is for 60 marks, and I need at least 21 to pass. I already have a bit of a safety net — there’s usually a repeated question on elementary reactions allowed/disallowed(6 marks). That means I still need around 15 more marks from the rest of the paper.

I’ve attached a 2024 question paper, and I’d really appreciate it if you could look at the question pattern and suggest:

The most important/high-yield topics I should focus on

Topics that could be repeated alternate years or almost guaranteed

Any strategy to maximize marks in limited time (30 days)

I’m not aiming for a high score — I just need to clear this paper this time.

Any advice or strategy would genuinely help a lot. Thanks in advance 🙏
