You finish a chapter and open your question bank. The next question is usually: How many questions should I solve before moving on?
There is no official number of MHT CET questions per chapter that you need to complete. And using the same target; say, 50 or 100 questions for every chapter is not necessarily useful. A better approach is to decide your practice volume based on the chapter, your accuracy and the variety of questions you can handle.
That makes your MHT CET chapter-wise practice more purposeful instead of turning MCQ solving into a numbers game.
Start With a Practice Range, Not a Fixed Target
As a practical starting point, you can use:
| Chapter type | Questions to practise |
| Short or straightforward chapter | 30–40 |
| Average chapter | 40–60 |
| Lengthy or concept-heavy chapter | 60–80 |
| Chapter where you are consistently weak | 80+ across multiple sessions |
These numbers are practice ranges, not official MHT CET requirements. Your aim is to cover different concepts and question types, not to reach a particular number.
Let Your Accuracy Decide What Comes Next
This is where MHT CET chapter-wise question practice becomes more useful.
After your first set, check your performance.
Below 70% accuracy: Stop adding questions for the moment. Identify the concepts you have not understood and revise them.
70–85% accuracy: Continue with another targeted set, particularly on the areas where you made mistakes.
85–90% accuracy: Move towards PYQs or mixed questions to check whether you can apply the chapter in an actual exam-style setting.
90%+ accuracy consistently: You probably do not need to keep solving repetitive questions from that chapter. Revisit it during revision instead.
The exact percentages are not examination rules; they are a practical way to decide whether
Use Previous-Year Questions as a Checkpoint
Do not count every PYQ as simply another MCQ in your total.
Instead, use PYQs to answer a more important question: How has this chapter actually been tested in MHT CET?
Target's previous paper analysis shows why this matters. Chapter-wise question distribution can vary across years and shifts, so students should use historical trends as a reference rather than assuming that every chapter deserves identical practice.
For example, after completing 50 practice questions, solving relevant PYQs may tell you that you have practised plenty of basic questions but very little of the question variation seen in the examination.
When Should You Stop Solving a Chapter?
This is the part students often overlook.
You can consider a chapter sufficiently practised when you can:
- solve different question types without relying on solutions;
- maintain consistent accuracy;
- identify why you got a question wrong;
- handle relevant PYQs without being surprised by the question format; and
- solve familiar concepts within a reasonable time.
At that point, continuing to solve hundreds of similar questions may not be the best use of your study time.
Your MHT CET question practice strategy should therefore be based on coverage and performance, not just quantity.
Make Your Question Count Work for You
There is no perfect answer to how many questions to solve for MHT CET. A student struggling with a chapter may need 80 questions, while another may need 40 well-chosen ones.
The better question is: “Have I practised enough variety to know how this chapter can be tested?”
Use chapter-wise questions to identify gaps, increase practice where it is genuinely needed, and move ahead once the additional questions stop adding much value.
That is a more sustainable approach to MHT CET chapter-wise preparation and it keeps your preparation focused on solving the right questions, rather than simply solving more questions.
