Motion In One Dimension has been asked in 10 of the 17 years of MHTCET papers analysed (2007–2026), with 51 questions in all. 41% of them were easy, 57% moderate and 2% tough. Most of its questions came from 2024, with 11 questions that year. In the last three years (2024–2026) it had 25 questions across 59 papers, about 0.4 per paper.

The chapter's 6 topics are not weighted equally: Uniform Motion (21 questions, 41%), Rest and Motion (12 questions, 24%), and Motion Under Gravity (10 questions, 20%) have been asked the most. Uniform Motion has also led over the last five years, with 15 questions. Non-uniform Motion has produced the most tough questions (1).
