A level mechanics help

so I have my mock for mechanics in a week and a bit however I'm struggling to find a revision method which works for me. I understand it however when it comes to doing certain questions I just don't get them right. Please give me tips on how to improve asap !!!! THank you

This might not be helpful for you, but when I was studying for mech at the start it was always tough. The only way to help was doing loads of practice questions and then marking with worked solutions; the a level textbook has a bunch of questions which is good. I think you'll juts pick it over time practising. Obv you can also look at youtube videos/ tutorials but some are limited and not helpful for specific question types. Hope this helps, you can ask for any specific questions and I don't mind helping if you need.

thank you !

Learn the meaning of key words:

light = ignore mass, smooth = no friction, uniform rod = centre of mass is in the middle

Large diagrams are useful

Try to visualise the problem - I enjoy teaching mechanics the most so ask away!
