Well sorry to hear that. It really is a question of doing one paper at a time, one question at a time. Ask here for each Q you are struggling with. You will get better and please put some effort into the quality of English in your posts.

Hey, don’t stress too much! Here are some tips to make revising physics more manageable and effective:

1. Break It Down: Split the syllabus into smaller topics. Focus on one at a time instead of overwhelming yourself with the whole subject.

2. Prioritise Key Topics: Review topics you find hardest or those that carry the most marks in exams first. Look at past papers for patterns.

3. Active Recall: Instead of just rereading notes, actively test yourself on what you remember. Flashcards or writing down key concepts from memory can help.

4. Simplify Concepts: Physics can feel like a mountain of formulas, but try understanding the ‘why’ behind them. Watch YouTube videos or websites like tutorpacks.com or use simple analogies to grasp concepts better.

5. Practice, But Smartly: Focus on past paper questions. If you get stuck, look at the solution, then try again later. Don’t burn yourself out with endless questions.

6. Rest and Recharge: Your brain absorbs better when you’re rested. Take breaks (the Pomodoro technique is great: 25 mins work, 5 mins break).

7. Get Help: If something isn’t clicking, ask a friend, teacher, or check out online communities for explanations. Sometimes a different perspective helps.

8. Positive Mindset: You’ve already learned a lot—trust yourself. Acknowledge small wins, and don’t let mistakes knock your confidence.

Remember, you’re not alone in this. Physics can be tough, but with small, consistent efforts, you’ll get through it. Good luck—you’ve got this.

I totally get it; physics can be brutal. Try breaking down topics into smaller chunks. Maybe focus on understanding concepts rather than just memorizing? Flashcards helped me when I did it, but honestly, I still felt lost sometimes. Practice questions are rough—maybe try videos or study groups? Or just give yourself a break?
