Default Help I'm really struggling with physics
 
Hey guys!
I'll try to keep this short so i don't bore you
right i'm not very good at maths but for the course i wanna do at uni i had to take either maths or physics for AS levels
we didnt have any modules in jan for physics so physics was on the back burner til about a month ago when i realised how much i suck at physics!
anyways i've been almost revising every night since then an i know all the basic knowledge but i cant get the sums right and keep gettings Cs or Ds but i really need an A or B at least
i'm going the new AQA course route X i think so ive had my prac which went okay
any good websites? notes? exam's in like 10 days so its crucial i sort myself out btw my exam title is " particles, quantum phenomena and electricity" i really need good notes on the particle bit

please help thnkuu in advance xxxxxx

Heyyaaa (:
You do AQA physics A I expect?
Because I have a physics exam on the 21st and its called .. crap i dont actually know. But its physics B.
I think its harmony and structure of the universe but we did stuff on particles like the wave particle duality of light and the photoelectric effect and de broglie wavelength and fundamental particles etc. (sorry for using 'and' so much)
I've got some pretty ok-ish notes on this stuff if you want (:
Just give us a shout

Aww noo ! Loll you're not being annoying at all! Don't worry lol. We're all here to help

Ok, I'll PM you all my notes on the particle bits

(As much as I hate this word) Chillax ! You've got loads of time

For physics I'm reading my book over and over again just in case I've missed a point out. And ermm I asked my teachers for past exam questions and, lol, one of them gave me this masssssiiivve folder. So I'm just working through that. Well, I'm actually just working through the questions that require calculations. The other questions that are like 6 or 8 markers, in which you've got to write loads of stuff, I'm just looking back at the mark schemes so that I can see what it is we're actually going to get marks on.

It sounds alot but trust me I may be the least prepared person around here. Soooo failing these ASs.
