What they give you in syllabus and what they ask in questions, I feel like the revision is done twice but still I need to start it all over again : (
I feel like my mind isn't mature enough to meet the syllabus requirements yet. : (
What to do?? Should I appear for the exams in the next examination sessions?? : (
I'm not being ungrateful though...

Reply pls. I didn't post it for crying. Your sincere advice can save some money from being wasted, which I hope won't be wasted that much : /

Dont get depressed, especially at this point of time!
Practise even more and thouroughly look into problems you dont understand and clear fully your confusions then when you go on to solve more and more papers, you will get better,
Stop whining and start with a new motive!
:)
Have you seen my revision notes ?

If you don't have time to make ur own revision notes, then use the revision guides and other's notes posted online.. then do PRACTICE!!
don't waste tym.. just complete each paper and check against the markscheme... then whatever ur mistakes r, correct them and add points from markscheme to ur notes/revision guide....
you learn from ur mistakes there is no other more effective way...!!!

do see this thread, may help you out:

and physics is easy.. don't think otherwise... if u think it's hard u will find it hard...

Assalamoalaikum wr wb!

Ok so i wanted to ask, like if I feel I ain't left with enough time, so instead of solving I just go through the questions and markschemes....do you think it'll be helpful? or is it just useless doing that?

P.S. I agree, out of all the 3 sciences, physics is the easiest! seriously it is......

yes it will be inshaAllah.. but do try to get in some practice if you can... or even if u r reading qustn paper n markschemes, for easy qustns (eg. where is radiation benificial etc) try to answer urself in ur head, then see the markscheme...
reading ms and qp is the next best thing.... :)

No worries about Physics MCQs. Got a fourteen days gap of Physics paper 12, and no other CIE exam after it too inshallah :D
