Main resource you used? Textbooks? Past papers? Or did you solely just watch Alevelphysicsonline videos and than past papers?

Guess I am just asking how you revised to bump up or grade and what technique and resources did you implement to get a high grade by the end of the real thing.

@@theweeknd6796 So I used KZfaq channels such as this channel, gorilla physics and DrPhysicsA. To start off I'd think about the topics I struggled on and read through the textbook on those chapters. Then there was questions at the end of each chapter which I'd do. You could also get a workbook like I did (I kinda left my revision a bit late and didn't really utilise it that well) and try and do as many questions as possible. Theres also something called isaac physics which is worth checking out. Then past papers, even do the past papers from different exam boards once you have done them all from your exam board. If your exam board had a previous series you could try those papers (make sure the content is relevant to your course). I've heard its beneficial to do a paper, mark it, revise the stuff you didnt understand etc, then wait a few days then do the exact same paper and repeat to make sure you are learning the stuff and not forgetting it. Lastly, I started my revision March time for May/ June exams and I ended up prioritising Physics as i was underperforming in that area. This subsequently had an impact on my other 2 a levels and I went from working at an A* in Psychology and finished with a B down to not really revising it that much. The same happened with Chemistry as I was working at an A but ended up with a B. Try and start as early as possible even if it's just a little bit here or there. I coasted through year 12 and 13 until 3 months before exams and although I did get respectable results I know I could have done better. All the best with your a-levels, I hope you took at least one thing away from my massive spiel.

Jonathan Bryant Thanks a lot. Your advice will help me a lot in Year 13. I appreciate it mate.

@@theweeknd6796 no problem. Also science shorts is a good youtuber for a level physics

We had a test last week I got a U for me physics is just confusing nd sometimes I feel like crying

@Tehillah Miti zero motivation is hard nut to crack. But you trust me when I say that keepingnthat attitude is a sure fire way to fail. But, trust me also, when I say getting your head around something you didn't can really get you motivated again to work hard, especially if you manage it on your own. I'm going to guess the electricity unit didn't go well for you (many of my pupils find it a brick wall). The way to look at electricity is, it is a puzzle - like a sudoku. In order to crack the puzzle you must know the rules (again just like a sudoku). As someone who chose a level physics, it is usually a safe bet that you enjoy the accomplished feeling of solving those types of puzzles?! Well, spend this summer determined to get you head around current flow, resistance in series/parallel circuits, kirchoff's laws and how ohm's law is applied to circuits/components. Do so by watching videos, go to isaacphysics and sign up for free (if you don't use it at your school already). Find their lockdown videos where they walk through the problem solving, then spend an hour solving a single problem like rambunctious resistors. Try and try again until you get it right. And if not, record everything you cannot get yourself and take it to your teacher in September as suggested in this video. You can do it, but YOU have to do it! Good luck!

If your motivated because you want to prove somebody wrong, how are you doing It for yourself?

@Tehillah Miti discipline is better than motivation get disciplined. You got this

update us

Thanks. That’s a great result!

Wow that’s awesome 🤩 can I know how you got A?

any advice bro ?

Advice please!

What did you get in the end??

Wow that’s great 😊👍Can I know which resources have you used?

And thank you to everyone who is watching these videos - I hope they will be useful for you this year.

Bro the lockdown really messed me up aswell went from as in bio and chem and cs in phyiscs to c and ds

It’s not

My sister got a D at AS and a B at the end of A2 so don't worry

@@mzg8286 no shit, not pedagogical at all though. systems fail people

@@theaizere L student

How did it go?

What subjects are you taking?

2 u's damn

@@bhg582 That's more common than you think, especially for students who think that they can ace their exams with just three months of studying and solving QPs.

@@bhg582 It happens lol

@@tasinal-hassan8268what? You can easily get As doing exactly that. You can’t possibly get Us doing 3 MONTHS of studying, even just sitting in class would get you a D/E minimum

You should certainly look into it - the maths becomes even more important at uni.

Shoaib Salim How did u revise for physics given you dont take a level maths? I also am going to be doing this and in the same position as you. I really want to get an A too! What methods resources websites did you use? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

This is exactly the point, my friends at sch know I do work hard but my parents and teachers have a poor view of me so I kinda relaxed my effort for a long time and now I am trying to pick up again cos I really can’t give up

They only believes the results 😥

that's what I'm tryna find out, got my mocks, maths tomz and I'm shitting it

smae question i need rn

@@Emzy17 yo g, just finished my alevels and am now going to study dentistry. I got a second chance to resit my year 12 mock at the start of year 13 and got 3 A’s. I know your situation rn and I really hated where I was at life. The only advice I got is, avoiding the working is so much harder than actually doing it so work hard from now so you don’t have to worry later on. All the best.

@@thinkdontshoot8065 hey! I just did my chemistry UPE exam and it went horribly I think i may have gotten a C or very max B. I want to do medicine/dentistry. Obviously uni applications happen at the start of year 13 and you apply with your predicted grades which would be the grade i will get now. My school doesn't allow resits and I'm really bummed out and idk what to do. Any help? Appreciate it

so real bro

Howd you do

@@stearnsy4005 well I never did those A level exams, but got about DDC, then did October resits hoping I could also do the summer resits. Got CCC which was really disappointing coz I was close to a B in maths. Summer exams also cancelled so I’m kinda just going wherever now expecting nothing outta further education

@Saisha Handoo my school advised u to redo year 12 but we did internal exams not official exams

@Saisha Handoo that was my situation, so they just let me continue

These will be coming up....

Don’t worry about that now - put it behind you. Especially as you still have three other A Levels which you’re doing really well in. This AS won’t affect your other grades at all.

i feel u bro...

Same here bro

omg me too but with chemistry and notphysics so I came here watching this video

Bro I got 3u

Math is literally the only subject I find enjoyable and get good grades in

they should accept.

I think he should just have to repeat year 12 in another college and try his hardest to get the predicted grades for year 13

Was it term-1 in which he failed?

Probably not, other than the fact that you will have to go a year later than many of your classmates. But it is possible depending on circumstances but unlikely if you explain the situation to them and get good grades.

You need to make sure you speak to your teachers as soon as you get back to school - it's your teacher predictions that will be used by UCAS and they are in the best position to offer you support as to how you can improve.

@@PhysicsOnline okay thank you!

@@HeartStruck333any updates? I just got a U in physics AS level and im not sure if unis will accept me even though im gonna up my game this year

@@chrs2x I convinced my teacher to give me a predicted D for UCAS, I got accepted at all 5 university choices and I got into my university of choice and I got a U on the subject I got a predicted E in. Advice is work really hard for your mocks this year and talk to your physics teacher on how to improve! When the exam results come around and let’s say you still get a U (I don’t think you will though, I think you can do it! :D ) you can convince your physics teacher to give you a higher predicted grade for UCAS. Also write a really good personal statement! You can find some inspiration for your course online but remember INSPIRATION only because you don’t want it to get plagiarised. Also please don’t worry about university too much which sounds strange but universities are way more understanding than schools and look at more than your grades. They look at personality, your achievements whether it’s academic or not, whether it’s inside or outside of school, medical conditions and much more! They will also have references from your teachers too and if you’re well behaved then you’re in the bag! One of my closest friends got into a university in the top 15 for psychology and although they were predicted an A in the subject they got an E and yet their uni of choice still let them in! Same with me but mine is in the top 20. So please don’t worry! And let’s say hypothetically you get rejected on results day, there’s always clearing and I’ve heard it’s very easy! So work hard but put your health first and don’t worry about university too much. I wish I could give you a hug because ik how stressful it’s going to be this year for you but don’t worry you have many blessings coming your way in the future! God bless!!🙏🏽

​@chrs2x dude same i got a U in one AS but normally got b's and c's now idk if unis will reject me for that....I'm predicted a C though

It will have affected you - make sure you use all the support your school can offer (like extra time). You can still do really well, but it takes time to work out what works best for you.

I know someone who is dyslexic and they use coloured lenses which helps them. Maybe you should check them out and see if they help you?

This was 1 year ago, wondering if you've got any positive good news for us!! :)

@@teatime9198 well the good news is I’m doing much better now. The (not so good?/other) news is that I’m no longer doing a-levels as I was an international student in another country that when I went to renew my visa the immigration was like… nope your grades are not up to par and we don’t want you around anymore… so I was forced out the country. Had a while to think about it and found a collage that suited me, a technical collage that did engineering ( however after arriving telling me I can’t do the course due to colourblindness ) which then I am now doing a diploma in IT and got my first set of A’s and B’s and B+’s. So far one C but that’s because of it being programming… but otherwise I’m doing well.

You’ve got me for some support! Do you have another physics teacher there you could ask?

@@PhysicsOnline thank you so much for the help 👍🏻😢💛💛 a d no I don't think so there is but I'll see if we could change him and do solving a lot of past papers more than one time helps ??

Same what did u get in as mocks

@@mikedean3106 C but barely

I can't do this I gotta drop Physics

SAME am struggling in chemistry i cant even get a D

Not an easy question to answer - it depends on so many factors. Anyone else here had personal experience of this?

I did this and do not regret it. Do it as long as you know you'll do the work

I’m doing this right now, it’s definitely the best choice for me but I’d recommend talking to your sixth form or another local one?

@@Alen52213 I'm so motivated this year as I did worse than I expected In one of my Year 12 end of year exams which decide my predicted grade and I was heavily considering a gap year because of the reason above and I'm stuck between two different degrees. I feel as if I just need another year to evaluate everything but also If I was to reapply to Uni in the gap year how would it work? Could you tell me your personal experience, you don't have to but I'd appreciate it

@@joshuaperkins2139 yeah I think it is the best choice for me too, I don't want to end up at a Uni I didn't really like in the first place but how would reapplying in the gap year work? Another small reason is I really want to give Oxbridge a shot, I don't want to have any regrets.

Yes they do - they give you a great indication of how well you've been working and going forward you have official exam results that have been awarded to you (not just some mock exams marked in school). Keep working hard - it will pay off further down the line.

​@@PhysicsOnline Ok, thank you for the clarification, appreciate it!

I know at least one student last year who got a U as AS and ended up with a B at A level - it can be done, but it's not easy

@@PhysicsOnline Can you go upto an Astar if you work hard though?

@@dinildavis7908 Your final grade is all determined by your final exams, so there is no limit to what you could potentially achieve.

@@dinildavis7908 your grade is proportional to your effort, believe me the more time you put into your A Level the higher the grade. That is of course you are revising correctly and doing the right work revision etc. Some people need 30mins to learn a topic others need hours to fully grasp it.

One thing I'll say is year 13 is hard but you will be capable, if not you will do better than you did in year 12. Also you HAVE to do all your weekly homework and revision before test, normally my homework consists of past paper questions so they are really helpful. Keep persevering and working hard and remember use physics maths tutor it's a life saver! Good luck

Make yourself a timetable and stick to it, so you can pace your learning rather than leaving it all until the last minute. You could also try using Up Learn to keep you mptivated and ensure you do as many questions as possible.

That's illegal. Ask a lawyer and get them to write the school a cease and desist.

Hey 👋 what if I get Us in 3 subject in term-1 paper will I be able to do term-2 paper in year 12?

Don’t feel disheartened or ashamed, those are some very hard a level subjects!!! But Yes I think so, but your school / sixth form might ask you or advise you whether or not your subjects are the correct option for you… if not, you may want to consider requesting to do an alternative mock in September to add to your UCAS application if your dissatisfied with your current grades… if they decline that, find out what your predicted grades are and also make a decision. If you think they’re too low or you’re unhappy repeating Year 12 is also an option💗 I know it sucks but it might help you better your grades and give you a better opportunity to get improvement grades from your current mocks if you do them again. Again, if you’re feeling that’s not suitable for you just role with what you’ve got and study very hard in year 13. And if because of your mock grades (and you’re planning to go uni) that you get no university offers, try see if you can get an unconditional offer and just work the best you can for A2 😊 hope this helps a little and I wish you the best of luck!!
