Having a hard time passing the physics exam? No longer! Follow these steps to get a satisfactory score in the physics exam.
Step
Method 1 of 4: Knowing Good Ways to Study
Step 1. Start memorizing since the material is given
The basic concepts of physics cannot be mastered overnight. Therefore, avoid learning the "speed system overnight" when studying physics. Make an effort to study, understand, and do physics exercises a few days or even weeks before the exam to prepare well.
Understanding the exam material well will make you more confident working on the questions
Step 2. Repeat the material obtained gradually
Physics concepts and formulas must be memorized and understood gradually until you can apply them by heart. Once you can apply concepts and use formulas by heart, you'll be ready to answer any questions asked on the exam.
Step 3. To make it easier for you to memorize, use study aids
Visual aids, such as concept maps and diagrams, or auditory aids, such as songs and rhymes, can help you master the material. For example, draw a large poster of difficult concepts, and place the poster next to the bed. Before going to bed, read the poster.
- Write down the physics formulas on a small piece of paper, then stick the paper around the house, including in the bathroom. Read the formulas that you have pasted during the activity.
- Make a summary of all the physics notes, then type in the summary and use a text to speech program to convert text into sound. Listen to the recording at night.
Step 4. Memorize as much material and formulas as you can until you can apply them by heart
That way, instead of thinking about the meaning of certain words in the problem, you will be able to focus more on answering the question at hand.
Step 5. Test yourself ahead of the exam
Find old test questions if possible, or search the internet for questions related to the material to be tested, then work on them to test your understanding.
- Some schools and colleges provide old test questions as student practice material, but in some schools, exam questions are part of the school's secret. Ask the teacher or librarian about the problem.
- You can find physics practice questions on the internet. Various tutoring sites, official school or university websites, and physics fan sites provide questions that you can access for free.
Step 6. Create study groups with classmates
In addition to helping you understand the material, you can also conduct quizzes between members.
Teaching others what you understand will strengthen your understanding of the material
Method 2 of 4: Knowing the Material to Study
Step 1. Learn all the given formulas
Learning formulas may sound difficult, but remember that 75-95% of physics exam questions consist of math problems. If you master math, these formulas will be easier for you to understand. However, what should you do if your math scores are mediocre? Use the internet to find explanations for material you don't understand.
Step 2. Review the material you learned in class, including the material you were taught when you were not in class
Not going to class is not an excuse for not mastering the material. If you're not signed in, borrow a note from a friend.
Method 3 of 4: Preparing Before the Exam
Step 1. Prepare the appropriate equipment
Sometimes, a physics exam will require you to use a certain type of pen, or to carry more than one pen. Therefore, it is important to prepare equipment as soon as possible before the exam.
Step 2. Get enough sleep, according to your body cycle
Lack of sleep will make your brain function is not optimal.
Method 4 of 4: Answering Questions
Step 1. Use your time well
If you spend time answering one difficult question, instead of working on a more reasonable question, your graduation will be in jeopardy. In physics exams, generally, the more questions you can answer correctly, the higher your score will be. Try to get 1 test point in 1 minute. However, still adjust the target time to the number of questions you have to do.
Step 2. Read the exam questions carefully
Don't read exam questions by scanning. Small mistakes in understanding exam questions can make your answers wrong.
Step 3. Answer the questions briefly and concisely
Do not repeat the points you have conveyed because repetition can be interpreted as your inability to think clearly. Whatever your answer is, explain how you arrived at it. If you make a calculation error, sometimes the teacher / lecturer will still give you a grade if you include an explanation in the answer. At least, by including an explanation, you are considered to have understood and tried to apply the material to the problem.
Step 4. Maintain confidence
Unlike language exams, physics exams require you to demonstrate confidence. Write answers that show your confidence.
However, avoid arrogance. Pride will only end badly
Tips
- Know how to study according to your personality so you can study better.
- Feel free to ask the teacher for help before the exam if you don't understand certain material.
