Try working your way through the TSR PS tool: https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/personal_statement_builder/make_some_notes it will help you work up from notes to a full PS and then give you some automated feedback when you're done.

http://university.which.co.uk/advice/personal-statements/personal-statement-advice-physics-students is worth a read and http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=3986251 has some suggestions for further reading :smile:

Funnily enough, TSR has just produced a new guide for personal statements which includes specific advice for Physics applicants. Have a look - hope it's useful.

Good luck with your application.
