Crashing Higher Physics

just does not make sense in my mind at all.

Sorry if I offended you; but I think it's true.
For example P.E. Studies: the 3 stages of learning are cognitive, associate and autonomous.
In Art you describe the tone and colours used etc to show how the message is coming across (don't quote me on this; I didn't take it).
In History you must discuss how useful a source is in depicting an event/time.
In English you must show how techniques used in a prose/poem/drama help relate to the theme or deepen your understanding of some aspect.
All this is theory work; it's all so debatable. While in sciences it has all been proven before, and it's make sense because it is logical. That is why I have apeace of mind following it; and can grasp that. Whereas with other subjects, all you need to do for exams is simply remember all the key points.
Of course the exception is French, which is not too unbearable.

Profound statements are not instant microwave meals. You need to give them time to roast in that little oven in your head.

Not in my opinion- if you have a full understanding of something then you you are much less likely to forget it. I understand 10+17=27 and I will never forget it.
If something is logical, it is universally understood. Something like P.E. Studies requires you to think the way the creator(s) of the subject thought.

The thing with the PE studies requiring you to think the way the creator thought. This doesn't hold true to english and indeed art? Yet it's also shown in maths, in higher maths to gain a certain set of marks you NEED TO include some certain phrases that the examiner wants you to write down.

I'm afraid in my opinion- obviously not to yours, and you will disagree with my point, that is expected- you are not looking at the whole picture.

Not really? Of course, your examples are obvious such as 10 + 17 = 27, if you use some harder maths topics, it doesn't necessarily hold true.

Whats the whole picture? That physics is better than english?

I'm doing Higher Physics in S5 right now though it's not a crash higher. There is about five people in my class crashing it (one S5 and four S6s) and they seem to be coping just fine; some even doing better in the NAB than me . If you like Maths, then I'm sure you'll like Higher Physics - that's what most of it is and it's quite straight forward stuff anyway. It's not particular difficult course, just lots of formulae to remember.

Keep the Intermediate 2 book as it will probably come in useful. There's also a few in my year doing three sciences at higher, don't know how they convinced the school. If you want to take Higher Physics in S5, tell your school you're applying for Maths but if the school doesn't let you then get the parents involved - that's what everyone does.

Data Book?

Though i guess you have to remember what the letters/symbols stand for.

Our school discourages you from doing 3 sciences but I said i wanted to do a science coure or Medicine at uni and they were fine with it.

You are (metaphorically) getting the wrong end of the stick. I love literature. Shakespearean dramas are fantastic. Philosophy, also, I love. I want to take that as a subject if I can. Descartes was also a mathematician (ever heard of Cartesian coordinates?); and I have no feud with philosophers.

What I mean is the theory work that has progressed from this and impenitently poisoned school classrooms is something I do not like.
