Zoology - Locomotion and Movement

Practise 25 AIIMS previous year questions on Locomotion and Movement, compiled from papers spanning 2001 to 2019. Each question is pulled directly from the actual exam paper it appeared in, so you're practising in the exact style and difficulty AIIMS tests.

Locomotion and Movement has been asked in 16 of the 19 years of AIIMS papers analysed (2001–2019), with 25 questions in all. 60% of them were easy, 24% moderate and 16% tough. Most of its questions came from 2018, with 4 questions that year. In the last three years (2017–2019) it had 10 questions across 5 papers, about 2 per paper.

The chapter's 2 topics are not weighted equally: Locomotion (22 questions, 88%) and Movement (3 questions, 12%) have been asked the most. Locomotion has produced the most tough questions (4).
