Approach to Studying HSC physics? (1 Viewer)

[httton]

Hey guys,

So I'm starting year 12, and as i look on my year 11 results - i find that

- i conceptually get the content.
- i struggle with summoning the terminology when it matters.
- i work hard, but not hard - producing mediocre results for the amount of effort.

I don't go to any tuition but do rely on textbooks (namely physics in focus and jacaranda physics {quite alot of unnecessary information} and occasionally McMillan).

this is my current process
1. read and make notes
2. read notes.

yes that's horrible - insufficient practice which accounts for my lack of control over terminology.

anyway, i seek to improve that - yet i want to know for you geniuses - how you guys approach your studies.

i have this strategy in mind, but if someone would kindly offer suggestions such as
- textbooks/workbooks i must have (i'm looking into dot point - but im open for suggestions)
- working off the syllabus, fulfilling dot points.
- ????

as you can see -i have no idea what else to do, would someone enlighten me thanks!

pretty much just keep making notes like you say you so summarise your dot points and related them back to the work you do in class
doing past hsc papers helps too

listen in class n do ur hw if u do u will never have to study for any exam, try to be interested in the subject - genuinely helps if u have an interesting teacher but yeah i got 90% for economics n 85% average in physics doing that in year 11, regret not doing it in year 12 :3
