What do I need to know from year 10 physics to be able to do year 11 and year 12 physics? (1 Viewer)

I forgot components of year 10 physics and I just want to know if there is anything essential I need to know from year 10 to move onto year 11 and year 12 without a problem. What would I need to revise and brush up?

Thanks

By year 10 physics, do you mean year 10 science? If so, you could brush up on the terms: validity, accuracy and reliability for science skills but apart from that, you'll learn everything from the ground up. Just make sure you have basic right-angled trigonometry skills sorted too.

So pretty much everything I will learn in year 11 and year 12 physics is just from the ground up. So I wouldn't have to revise year 10 physics at all other than that? is it because that not all schools learnt physics in year 10?

Thanks

Just make sure you're really good at algebra, if you have a good physics teacher, they will work really fast and they won't tolerate students being poor at algebra, they'll just continue on their set schedule and student's poor at 9-10 algebra will really fall behind.
