hey!!i need some advise to go about my coursework

Hello,


Firstly, sorry for the wait!

As for unit 3; Whilst I love Physics, I hate the experimental side. But I did okay, this is how:

- Attention to detail. I tried to explain everything I possibly could. I read the specification and if they wanted to know why I chose a particular measuring method, I would draw up, explain and analyse three different methods. I would then explain the advantages, disadvantages and reasons as to why I will/won’t be using that method. Because of this, it meant the person marking it couldn't find anything missing. Everything was there, and more.

- Knowing every single definition, term and equation related to my coursework. This meant I could explain everything in a scientific language.

- Knowing how to convert everything and anything.

- Understanding all the different apparatus that could be used and how it all worked. Because of my passion for the subject, I would often just watch YouTube videos on Hooke's Law etc. This gave me various ideas as to how to approach the investigation. If I didn't know everything about a particular piece of equipment, I would research it until I could write a whole paragraph on how it worked.

- Diagrams, scales etc. I practised drawing diagrams, equipment and everything. It has to be clear.

- I made sure I stuck to a structure, to avoid repeating myself or missing the points that I had to address.

- I wrote a lot. I think all of my friends said they did 10-15 pages (they got like 45/60 in the end). Instead, I did like 30 pages. Some people will manage to get the same mark as me; or possibly better, in fewer pages. So quality is more important than quantity, but I went for both!

Good luck, if you find this helpful and wish to seek any advice on the unit 1 and unit 2 exams just let me know. I will be happy to help you.
