Physics may seem to be a math’s based subject, however if you examine any paper you will see that a large proportion of the exam is just learning off by heart. The following is the most logical approach for your study-start learning and committing to memory now!!!!!!
1) Definitions – obviously the best approach is to learn the ones that came up in the exam papers first, then the rest. These are a guaranteed 17% approx- easy marks!!!- please learn word perfect- write them down – get someone to hear you recite them. Look at last years paper and you will see that if you answered only the definitions in q5, 6, 7, 8, 9 you would have got 17%.
2) Mandatory Experiments- learn the
mandatory experiments exactly– there are 24 in total – These are essential for
Section A of the exam and may be asked in section B.
3) Non
– mandatory experiments –very important as these will be asked in section B
only
4) Formulas
– learn now!!!!
5) STS – these are the practical applications of all the theories covered in the course – these must be learnt inside out!!!!– see STS section.
6) Exam Papers- There is so much repetition in the exam questions that you should be able to recognise and answer all the questions from the previous papers.
7) Derivations – a very small % of the exam (about 5%)
8) GO TO 1!!!
