I just started physics in year 12 I was so good in physics in GSCE now I am struggling so much in a levels it’s so hard to understand concept and then I can’t apply to questions when I finally after hours understanding the content it’s so frustrating I failed my 2 exams in physics
What you need is actually a good teacher, it's always easier to understand when someone who already understand it and has lots of experience teaching teaches you because not only they know what students normally struggle with they also know the common misconceptions by students. It is harder to understand if you self study because you have to imagine the whole thing in your brain yourself. Without my wonderful teachers, I am doubtful whether I will fall in love with physics lol, I love it because it makes sense and its easy, you dont have to memorise so much facts like chemistry
my advice for unit 5 in specific is to make sure you know how to do the calculations from astrophysics like it's the back of your palm. i cannot stress how important that topic is
Hey man just a quick question. With electricity aqa you put videos of mean drift velocity i think its called, however this isn’t in the specification. Is this a mistake or should i learn it?
@@jiviteshbabajee1027 I know it's a really late reply, but I thought to let ya know anyway. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, my exams have been postponed, but they'll start in less than a month from now. Wish me luck. 😇
Sir, does that mean if I finish all past papers from my exam board as well as the spec papers, I should go to another exam board (I’m doing edexcel) and what order should I do last papers in (oldest - newest ect) .Also special thanks for making these videos, I watched every A level physics video and everything makes a lot of sense now!
7th May is my Edexcel Physics exam and haven't done enough past papers. Do you recommend me doing more of them or just revise whatever I've learnt throughout my course (ie the books.. Guides, notes etc)?
I'm ready to give up already because last year we didn't have a physics teacher, now I'm in a higher grade were getting loads of work AND ITS KILLING ME
Keep going seriously, if you manage to still get a great grade DESPITE all that you will prove to yourself how truly resilient and strong you are. Good luck
@@therealifejames5887 okay on my report for physics i got 91 percent avg and i was so happy but i got that grade because we were just converting quantities and stuff like that but now.... were doing moments of force and i cant even understand even if the teacher s h o u t s in my ear
Hi, stumbled across your video, thanks for your effort. My daughter is doing the aqa exam in 2021, we can’t find papers for 2020 or 2019. Is there a reason for this. We are looking for the combined papers in science. Are you able to help? Please
Hi Sir, I hope you see this but I just started A level physics and I wanted to get off to a good start so if I were to finish doing past papers for my exam board of AQA are you suggesting to do Edexcel past papers as well? Thank you so much for these videos as well, they are a great help👍
Sir you are a god/life saver/guider/angel. Thank you so much!! i am going to watch your videos for A-level physics revision. BTW do you do A-level Maths?
Im currently doing the EDUQAS physics A level course, and it has been changed since 2017 to make it 'harder', meaning I have a lack of EDUQAS past papers (i.e. only the ones from 2018 and 2017) to practice from. Would you recommend me doing papers from different exam boards to prepare for the exam?
OMG! Another person that does EDUQAS! I agree with you, we lack resources, grade boundaries are quite high (~85% for A*) and so much more.... Good luck for the 20th
What do you recommend doing to improve past papers scores? ive done quite a few for OCR and im averaging just over 75% but i keep making small mistakes throughout, what do you think i should do to improve?
Keep at it, your scores are great, but everytime you make a mistake try and analyse why. Not knowing the content, mistakes in sig fig, calculation etc. Then alway have these in mind in future papers.
Just Revise ur Notes again and Do ur past papers once while Looking at ur notes. This was you'll have an idea of what kind of questions come in the exam
Random refer to errors that can arise due to human errors and errors that are not constant in magnitude as they vary from person to person in terms of the degree of the error they have to factor in to their readings. Systematic simply refers to 'system' errors that correspond to the errors arising due to the measuring device itself either due to faulty calibration or simply just a faulty device. These errors are constant in nature and have the same magnitude to be added to an uncertainty of the measuring device.
Nathan Blanch I’m doing the course at the moment as well and I’ve found the only tip I can give is if you’re taking more than a minute or two on it just guess it, move on, and come back to it later if you have time. There’s always a huge amount of them at the end of the exam so you can’t afford to be wasting time on doing one of them
How can I deal with the new specification? I have no past paper, not even one and when I saw the sample assessment papers, the type of questions that they gave was COMPLETELY different comparing how they used to ask before. That literally meant those papers of the old spec I've done are not that helpful... I have unit 3 in a week and I'm so not ready mentally... please help me.
I've got my end of year 12 exams coming up, I know a lot of universities will look at the predicted grades I get from this so is there a good way to find year one papers only for aqa?
My issue is that I can do past papers fine and get a C. But then I go into the mock exams and come out with an E. i think it’s pressure. Also, how do I understand things better. Doing past papers is the best way, however, I can do it and then memorise the answer. I don’t need to memorise the answer but my head just does it. I need to swap some numbers out and still get the right answer. But understanding what I need to do in each different context is the hardest bit for me. Any tips anyone?

I really want to see the edexcell past papers and examiner reports, but they are locked. I’m doing AQA, so I won’t be able to get a registration/certificate number to be able to log in and access those important documents. What could I do to get these documents?
@@z4inz lol, dude, not sleeping may make things worse as you cant take info more deeply. One important thing in anything is balance. as you know in physics, unstable particles wants to stabilise.

@@PhysicsOnline thank you! I am not really stressed about the exams since I only need a C, but realistically, it's not just about how one individual performs. It's about all.

Dude it's all about HOW, and all it matters is question answering skills. Just do the past paper with textbook for starters attempt first, then do it again without. that's the best way to apply what u know and u know more when u mark it. But do what u must
What are you doing to get used to the new spec style more? I’ve done all the old spec papers until 2011 and got on average A’s but I’m struggling with new spec a lot !
trust me aqa content is easier but the questions are extremely hard. especially to get high marks. There’s more to learn in edexcel but if you know the content it’s easier if that makes sense
