I'm failing physics and so are most of the others in my class. Physics is my least favourite area of science so I find it hard revising for it because I just can't be bothered. I know that's not a good excuse but how can I motivate myself to revise?

I am just like you. Physics is my least fav out of all the sciences but I do Triple Science so i have to learn it anyway.Try to figure out your learning style. Visual , Kinaesthetic or Auditory and use that method. if you find mind maps useful then use them. I just bite my teeth and manage myself to learn the facts. Good luck!

You should look into the CGP Physics GCSE Books. I have one of them. It's very concise and funny revision guide, my school gave them to Triple Students for free

Are you good at maths? Physics gcse has a good chunk of maths involved so you won't do too bad if you got the maths right.
If you can afford it, see if you can get some physics books. A black and purple cgp book about 10-15&0£ has eveything you need in there to know. (I have it myself!).
Although google 'bbc bitesize' which has a short revision area for most subjects and a small test on each topic.

I'm alright at maths and yeah physics has a hell of a lot of formulas to remember. I have the AQA student book and it's really good if that's your school's exam board because it has everything you need to know for the exam. I've barely even used it though

the only thing you''l have to remember which is vital is rearranging the formulas and the units (n, kg, w, v, a etc.).
where is this aqa student book? a link possibly? thanks..

you won't have to remember the formulas, they should be given to you via a formula sheet in the exam (although confirm this with your teacher if your exams are different).

The best thing u can do it's to do some past exam papers .. they are so useful .. they will help u to understand how to answer the questions in the exam.
Good Luck

Yeah I think the mind maps are a good idea for me because I am mostly a visual learner. I'm definitely not an auditory learner in physics, I can't remember a word my teacher says. And her accent doesn't help either. I do triple science too and I'm doing worst in physics. Most of the people in my class are on a grade D-including me![Image]()

the CGP books (not the thin revision guides) but there are these fat books with packed info for all three sciences, u have to buy 3 separately for each science and at the moment I am finding them really useful. So u might want to give it a try. Good luck!

Your school's awesome. I have to buy my own revision books. I bought the book particular to my school's exam board and it's really good but I've hardly used it.

I was exactly like you with physics last year in year 11. I absolutely loathed the subject and my teacher but was determined to come out with a B despite being predicted a C.
Like others have said, try the CGP books and there's always My-GCSEscience on Youtube too

If the problem is that you lack motivation I would suggest looking at some interesting videos that show you where physics is used, such as YouTube channels like Sixty Symbols, Minute Physics, Sci Show, etc.

U won't have 2 learn the equations off by heart cuz u will b given an equation sheet with all the equations that u wud need 2 know for the exam.
the CGP books (not the thin revision guides) but there are these fat books with packed info for all three sciences, u have to buy 3 separately for each science and at the moment I am finding them really useful. So u might want to give it a try. Good luck!
