Top 5 essentials for studying Physics to each top marks in the exams.<\/h1>\n

1.Start early<\/em><\/h2>\n

I know you\u2019ve heard this before! However, by starting to study for upcoming tests or working on coursework a bit before the deadline, you will find that it is much more manageable to absorb the information and do well on your classwork. If you are struggling to figure out where to start, try to break down topics into several chunks. Then you can plan to study one a day and make the revision more manageable.<\/p>\n

2. Find your study method.\u00a0<\/em><\/h2>\n

Generally, students procrastinate studying because they don\u2019t know HOW to study. Everyone is different: some like watching videos, others like reading, others like writing, and others like talking through concepts out loud.<\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t found your most efficient way of studying, you will find that it becomes very overwhelming and very little information is retained. The method of studying I personally found the most efficient for me was making notes on notes and then reviewing those notes – Cornell notes could help here.<\/p>\n

The act of reading and writing things helped me memorise key information. There are so many resources out there for IB Physics \u2013 online textbooks<\/a>, YouTube channels,\u00a0quizlets<\/a>, etc. that you can use to help find your own personal way of studying. A place to start is with videos is Lanterna’s YouTube channel which has loads of videos where tutors answer their most frequently asked questions. Check it out here<\/a><\/p>\n

3. Get comfortable with the formula booklet<\/em><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s the one of the only things you get to take into the exam and so you want to make sure you know it inside and out! The physics data booklet is full of really useful formulas. By knowing exactly what is in it and what\u2019s not you can ensure that you are not memorising more than you need to.<\/p>\n

4. Questions questions questions.\u00a0<\/em><\/h2>\n

There is no better way to feel comfortable and excel with difficult questions than to try them. You can find the \u201cworked questions\u201d for each chapter in most textbooks, as well as trying past papers. There are a finite number of question types that can appear in exams, so doing enough of them will allow you to learn the method to solve most questions that will appear.<\/p>\n

5. Patience.\u00a0<\/em><\/h2>\n

I know sometimes it may feel overwhelming and you might feel like you just don\u2019t understand a topic, but it\u2019s important to keep calm and remember that it takes time and repetition to understand something. So follow the steps, read the theory, and practice the questions, and you will be set to succeeding in physics!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
