Shouldn't it be easier?

I'm just tired, want to get it over and done with

Feels bad man. Only one month left, push through that one month and kill those exams. I believe in you

DW I'll be facing the pain next yr as well

 

[DatAtarLyfe]

no bc it's so boring

So true. I never thought i'd say this but i got bored from a 4u paper i was doing like 10mins ago. Its the same shit over and over again

 

[WrittenLoveLetters]

I'm bored of myself not knowing wtf I'm doing with Physics o 3333o.

What part of phys dont you get, like the actual content? Or the questions in the exams?

 

[eyeseeyou]

Lol what r u guys even doing now at school? R U all finishing the last topic?

In all honesty, I think the content is manageable (kind of, better than what I started with and you have to remember I'm not a Band 6 Physics life person...I have low standards...) but I actually find interpreting some questions and actually figuring out what they want me to write.

My option is fine, I got that down and have been getting 24 for most past papers but the core....the core...

DOn't you feel sometimes, the purpose of multiple choice is to trick you into picking the wrong answer

 

[DatAtarLyfe]

My weakest is probs answering questions on space, like conservation of momentum and shit.
Im pree g for M&G and I2I though.
Do you do quanta or medical?

MC is like an abusive relationship. It likes to trick you into thinking its all good (2014 paper) and then it betrays you (2015 paper).

I would say that for the core topics, my strength lies in the bigger mark questions. Mainly because all the smaller mark questions require so much actual physics knowledge to be compressed properly, whereas a 5 marker would be like "Draw a photocell and tell us how it works!!! AC over DC?! Superconductors!!!!!!!!!!!"

Medical Physics If I was getting close to 100% in Q2Q, I think I would've been good at Physics in general o:

TBH I'd rather short and extended reponse over MC

If I could, I would never show up to Physics. But I want an ATAR ; u ; So trying my best is my only option!

I love love love long responses (5 - 6 markers) in Physics!

So like is it the calculation questions that you get stuck on?

If you ever need any help I can try my best to either help you understand/answer questions you have about Phys. This would be helpful for both of us, since you will learn stuff plus I will consolidate knowledge through teaching.

Sometimes long response can get annoying though, especially if you forget minor details and end up losing a mark because you forgot to include a formula in an equation though

Sometimes the maths of physics can get quite irritating though

Oh great maybe I could try self learning the whole HSC course in the school holidays

BTW Writtenloveletters, I've never seen you (from being on this forum since Nov 2015) ever ask any questions for help. I'm actually pretty surprised (not trying to make fun of you or whatever but I'm trying to say I'm pree amazed bc other people ask for help and not you so much)

haha I'm kinda the opposite; knowing there is only one month left both scares me and inspires me to study more and I'm quite excited for the HSC exams... (Although I get scared that I'm probably under-prepared right now, especially for eng...)

Feels bad man. Only one month left, push through that one month and kill those exams. I believe in you

Yeah this... Exactly 1 month till Paper 1 :SSS So close!!

DOn't you feel sometimes, the purpose of multiple choice is to trick you into picking the wrong answer

MC for me is annoying. They don't necessarily trick me much, but there are physics rules that I just don't know about that aren't really specified or clear when learning about them and so I sometimes choose the wrong answer... feel like I do ok, then find out I get a few wrong and get annoyed over those few.

Actually, most calculations are fine (that I can think of)! Its the "you got to really know your physics and can't fluff" questions (from looking at all my past papers and actual exams, the accumulation of 3 markers get me!)

I tend to ask for help from outside the forum, mainly because I need an instant respond. If you're asking why I don't ask for help for Physics in particular its because most of the time, I really don't know what I don't know and that puts me in a difficult spot. When people ask me what I have difficulties in certain topics - I can really only tell people "I'm great at Medical, everything else is mediocre).

Although, I have improved from Year 11 to 12 (on a personal level!) I went from being a barely 60% student (in exams, not assignments) to a 75% student in trials (and I have been running high 70s/just an 80 in a lot of my practice papers recently - but not timed, so inaccurate at this rate!). And with that, I know a lot of people would want to neck themselves with that kind of mark, but I'm really happy to settle in the raw mid-70s (and hopefully close to 80) in order to reach a MINIMUM band 5

Asking for help on forums is really weird, I don't get to talk and voice how I really feel + give them an impression that I don't know etc and its really hard to express how frustrating it is to not know something when the other person can't see/sense it.
