I have just over two weeks till my exam. I have four exams; Biology, Physics, IT and Psychology in January. I have seemingly avoided my weakness - Physics.

Do you think I can pull off a B grade with 5 + hours revision daily?

15 days... You have plenty of revision time. Most physics teachers allow bringing a cheat sheet with you, making memorizing formulas unnecessary, if not, make a 'cheat sheet' consisting of all formulas needed, and then start to commit this to memory.



Armed with your cheat sheet, go through each chapter and do the hardest problems as most teachers use these problems with only a slight twist to them (using past exams is even better if you have access to them).



I usually record the chapter summary and save them to my mp3 player and just listen to them over and over, this will help you ace the general knowledge part of the exam.



When you go to sit the test, I would usually look over the test and make a budget for my time. Then I would start with the big questions and do the initial work, write out formulas and draw a picture of the problem etc. without actually doing the math as this will get you 90% of the marks for only 30% of the time required. Then I would do the rest of the test, and only come back to these problems at the end and work through the math since the actual correct number is only worth 1 mark. If you have time to spare, re-work the math on all problems as you will often miss a point or two over a silly error.



Lastly you can say the students prayer:

"Lord, give me grace on this test, not justice"



Cheers, and good luck!

It depends on your natural ability. If you are good at Maths, that also improves your chances.



Use your text book to revise the basics, and also go over old exam papers and mark schemes carefully.



Don't sacrifice your other subjects - get a balance.



Good luck

hello .....yes, u can make it..... ii am an engineering student and ii knew very well dt physic is simpy provided u can memorised and able to apply formlars..... get all d formulas listed and study hard......... both day and nigt........ work problems and solve question as many as possible.....u will see yourself above people that has been reading all these while.........physic is not about reading for 5-6 month before exam.....rather your ability to get acquited with formulas and application ....and pray for Gods direction which is the ultimate.....best of luck

easy just keep re-reading everything and you will remember , just like you remember the words to your favourite song without really trying, with multiple choice it's even easier
