Pritish Kumar Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 I am studying and all, doing questions but in a test, I just can't score well. Before a test I feel prepared, I have revised my concepts and diagrams but still. Btw I am in the IB Diploma programme, and I am 15.

Yuki Kuran Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Your teacher probably uses past exam questions. I recommend you to solve all of them) However, keep in mind that it won't work out in the final IB exam. If you prepare but score low or moderate, then probably you lack some logical thinking skills=\ ps. I'm 15 too and this is not something special. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBSurvivors07 Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Hi, I take Physics HL and Chem HL and i think the key to do well in physics is to understand the concept well and just keep practicing. Physics requires less memorisation than bio apart from equations but it's time consuming to REALLY understand the concept. Some people think that just because they can apply it to past questions or questions from text book, they'll do well in the exams. So practice from past papers until you get the trend Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 (edited) It is all about practice . Do lots and lots of past paper questions and don't just feel contented with understanding the concept, but try to use it in the real life maybe.... I knew it from my peers , who are struggling with IB physics HL as well. It is good that you are 15 year old but just don't use it as an excuse .... I know some people think they are in a disadvantage just because they are younger and not work hard . It is not helping at all....... Those people almost fail the IB by the way.... not to scare you but just remember to put your effort in the subject. All the best.

James Yang Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Sometimes your intuition doesn't work in physics. Always trust in force diagrams and the math, and then intuition. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
