It'd be good if your teacher works according to the syllabus, this way you could takes notes down on the day and file it into separate dotpoints for easy review later.

Really, have a look over it from time to time throughout the year, you really shouldn't cram.

Also, if possible, try to understand WHY and HOW it works, not just memorise the syllabus. The info will come to you easier in the exams.

Study For physics is so much easier if an average physics lesson didn't start off like this "and the quantam theory is....." mid way sound like this "......hitler only had one testicle....." and end like this ".......and then my cats sat on her chest while she was sleeping, it was the cutest thing i ever saw!!" If anyone would like to know ANYTHING about my physics teacher's personal life, I have a ton of facts, ask me about physics and i'll stare at you blankly....:argue:

i am so fed up with hearing about Hitler's testicle... its not funny anymore!!!
ive broken physics up into about 9 core bits (relativity, motors, atomic/nuclear theory etc). i run through each section till i know it well, then move on to the next. when i understand the basic concepts, i can generally get pretty good marks with BS.

Me:
o Don't listen in class (draw people standing in all the picutre in my text book)
o Three days before exam (i.e. today) notes on every dot point and work through any maths stuff.

Easy!

...hey it worked for my trails!

Nup, I never had a tutor and never will i rely on my motivation entirely. If i wanna learn something i will and if i dont i wont. Tutors cant change that.

Good aim for 100 so i can take u as competition :cool:

why wouldn't you aim for 100? if you weren't, then you would be admitting to a knowledge fault and could study it! i actually enjoy studying physics (some of it) i study probably too far into my fav bits and not enough in the crap parts (projectile calcs) but who cares? i only need a uai of 78! if i didn't care i wouldn't have to study at all!!:D

Im just leaving a 5% error margin u know just in case of misinterputing the question or forget to put certain units after numbers etc.
In actual fact im aiming for 100 but im also puttin a tiny bit of reality to it (Just in case).

It would be great if in the end we could find out our RAW mark and compare it to the scaling.
