It's going quite well so far. We're about a week away from finishing the first unit (Our Dynamic Universe) and so far the course doesn't seem too challenging, apart from special relativity which took a bit of thinking.

How's it going for you?
Looks like you’re ahead of us, we’re currently working on momentum, and are about to go onto the next part (I think it’s relativity) next week, some time has been wasted unfortunately due to bad experiments etc... Although, I’m looking forward to the next part of the course
Hey, now that you know the frictional force and the forward force of the van going down the slope, you should be able to work out the unbalanced force and therefore, the acceleration
What's everyone doing their assignment on? I'm doing my write up this friday on LED switch on voltage. The teacher I have this year is a lot better at explaining things so I'm quite confident on this subject.

As far as I know, we’re doing something similar to your assignment topic, although we haven’t done much on it since before the summer.
keep doing past papers and practice calculations over and over again. go through every single past paper you can find online, go through them twice or even three times. you should slowly get used to the exam format and the style of questions, practice makes perfect also, for the more 'wordy' questions memorise your definitions, they are easy marks to get (e.g. define the doppler effect)

I can't remember any of the wordy stuff, I can do calculations as long as they are simple 3 or 4 marks but once they go higher I get confused...
If it’s worth more than 3 marks then you should probs be using 2 formulae. The only one I can think of right now is redshift, how you’re given wavelengths and then have to find the recessional velocity from it. 2 formulae worth 5 marks. As for the definitions, keep going over it until you understand them.

I got a C in the Prelim, after failing last year (I'm resitting), and it's just so difficult, I got a B at Nat 5 but I only got that from getting all my marks from calculations.

I'm also doing higher physics and I'm finding it so difficult too. I'm doing 5 highers this year and I'm finding physics the hardest. Also got a B at Nat 5. Similar to you, I also find the explanation questions the hardest to answer. I got a D in my prelim, I've went over the definitions and I'm doing past papers but tbh I just find physics so uninteresting now lol.

Lol, are you also doing 5 highers? Im doing maths, english, business, geography and physics. Honestly wish I had taken higher biology instead of physics as I got an A at Nat 5 for that

Last year I did 5; Maths (D), English (D), Physics (F), Chemistry (C) and Computing (C). This year however, I'm only doing 4 to relieve the stress; Physics, Maths, Business and Philosophy.
Rip, I need AABB for Maths at Uni. Maths I'm on track for, Business I dunno how to revise all the content, Philosophy I'm ok at, Physics I'm ok at too.

Help!!!
Take it ur in S6 then, I'm in S5. I need at least AABBC for uni. I'm doing well in business, but I also find the content hard to remember. I have the higher business leckie and leckie course notes book and I went through the whole textbook and highlighted all the key parts. Sounds like a lot, but highlighting really helped me remember things. I would recommend doing this with some sort of textbook or your own class notes. I have a notebook where I write things down that I've found I just can't remember.
