    Currently studying MacroPhysics at LSE, I sat my Physics A-level back in 2018 and your videos got me through it. Thank Shiggs.

    Brother I'm in Y13 right now, and I'm still learning content from Y12, I learn a bit vaguely, apply it a little bit. Which is awful, however I'm going over the content in depth, and it's overwhelming. I've got so much to cover before my Jan mocks, and it's not only learning the content, but applying it.

    Hiya, hoping someone will reply but uhm.. my issue is that I worry I suck at A-Level physics a lot of the time, I am the only one in the class who did foundation and it freaks me out. I struggle understanding the content and I lack that confidence when answering questions. Partially due to the teaching ability of one of my teachers but still- this video has helped, it’s given me the motivation I need and your experience has also helped me realise I can succeed too. Ima work hard and focus on my studies, practicing and applying my knowledge to questions. Thank you 🙏🏻

      Hi, I hope you're doing better! I know what you mean, it's so hard to remember and then apply it all, and in a short amount of time. It's so overwhelming. I need to apply my own advice which is, take it one step at a time, and you'l make it. Best of luck

    Honestly, physics is super annoying sometimes, so many things will just be explained to you as, this works, but we dont know why, and no one else knows either

    tysm for this advice! for practice, i am doing the pmt booklets but there are just sooo many of them like around 10 bootlets for each chapter and each booklet has around 50-80 pages. this will surely take up all my time right? do you think i should do all of these questions? these questions are from 2016-2022 so i would encounter them again when i do past papers closer to the exams. any advice is appreciated

    • @shiggs33
      @shiggs33  Рік тому +2

      Id say do them and then when u encounter them again just skip them if u still remember them well. You’ll be thanking urself in the future

    Sure but issue is that the mark schemes in A level physics are fucking Illegible, they don’t show the step by step process on how to award makes, they just award indications of formulas and certain numerical configurations of said formulas. With numbers that are pulled out of AQA’s ass. It’s so nullshit and k can’t solve or get better at questions if I don’t have someone to walk me through why the answer is what it is. Marks schemes don’t so it, videos don’t align with the content and I have no money for a tutor, genuinely better off dead. I really want to do well but I fucking. Can’t.

      This might help. Science Shorts has walkthroughs of all (I think) the AS and A level AQA past papers, and I find he explains the answers well, unlike the mark schemes which make no sense. Hate AQA. Anyway, here's the links.

      There's also a channel called TL physics, she has lots of videos on the topic and teaches you them tbh. Inshallah your exams go well, we've got this Inshallah

      Yes I think you would be ok, a lot of it is maths, high level maths at that! You will be at a disadvantage than other people who do have experience but use that as motivation to push harder

      I am currently taking both ol math and physics and i can surely say they are really different from one another, yes for sure there are concepts that may be applicable in both subjects but overall i dont think they are the same in any aspect. Physics involves more critical thinking

    " Other people in my class " .... in my class its only me who chose and wants to do physics , eventho it is pretty hard 😂😂🙈 , this is my first term in Edexcel AS and we just had first term exams and i did a full paper for unit 1 , got a C 🙈🙈 I'd say it wasn't bad considering i only got to revuis 2 past papers before the exam .... hope i can get through it insha Allah 😂❤️
