Bio and Chem are good, but physics is a bit on the downside. I have my next Mocks in March and we haven't even begun learning the content for paper 2. And I'm procrastinating so much😂 hbu?

Literally me physics mock that i did in november was the one i did the worst in the sciences. And the content for me is too much lol. Iv only just pushed myself to do physics revision daily as i need to improve in it but keep procrastinating lol. We have only one topic left electromagnetic and just completed waves today which i dont even understand it and topic test next week. So need to start revising for it.
Physics and maths tutor website id good don't know if u know about it has lots of practice questions.:wink:

yes same!! My physics mock was the worst out of the three. But yeah I also don't understand waves, but at some point, I'll have to force myself to understand it because everything in physics is just so complicated. And I made the stupid decision of choosing it as one of my A-Levels *face palm*
Physics is definitely my worst science of the 3. I got 9s in Chem and Bio but a 7 in physics.

What about waves don't you understand?

Would you think I'm lying if I said everything?😂 because my mind is genuinely blank when I think about waves. I can only think of the words "frequency" and "wave length".

we started in yr9 but i swear there was no use of that we finished paper one like beginning of yr 11 and then we are doing paper 2 now
ha. i have my physics paper 2 mock tomo. but these idiot teachers took out questions on content we hadn’t covered as so are throwing in paper 1 questions on there too which is horrible because as soon as I’d finished the physics paper 1 mock a few days ago, everything just left my brain.

We did Energy in year 9.
Now I am learning about Atomic Structure (e.g.radioactivity and radioactive decay etc).
This year we did electricity & particle model of matter.
(BTW I'm doing AQA what exam board are you doing?)
