The one topic of the course that just annoys me and I struggle to get through a question. Any general tips for it?

what questions are you having trouble with? projectile motion is pretty much assuming vertical velocity is initially Vsin(theta) and horizontal velocity is Vcos(theta), then using the details of the question + calculus to derive the rest

Don't get physics formulae involved :p although they are same as maths, but you gotta learn how to derive them :)

Dont memorise any formulas given to you in any book you might have.
Because 1. They give it to you most of the time and
2. If you are asked to derive it, its most likely a different scenario (i.e. the origin not being where the projectile is fired)

Remember that at when the particle is at maximum height.
This is general logic anyway.

Dont freak out when you see the question. Always think logically and thoroughly.
