Hey guys, I am going to have an exam in physics in like 3-4 months because I failed my first exam. I was wondering if it is possible to go from have failed to an A in physics in 3-4 months (talking about the hardest physics possible to take at high school). The reason I failed is not because I am mentally stupid or got an below average IQ or anything like that, but because I did nothing, I didn't read a single word in the book (just barly), didn't pay attention in classes and didn't do any homework / studying at home.
My exam is going to contain a few chapters which include mechanics, electric fields, magnetic fields, momentum, gravity, induction, circular motion, quantum physics and theory of relativity. The book contains of 250 pages of reading material (not counting pages that's used up for tasks and questions)
Obviously the mechanics part is going to be questions on the exam where I have to be able to calculate with throws like a soccer ball with fricition and things like that so you kinda have to decompose the power of the ball in different direction and use vectors to solve it. (Just wrote this so you guys understand that it's not really the highest level of physics). Well it's a lot of different stuff.
So I was wondering if you guys had a plan for what I could do and if you have any opinions if my goal will be possible. What I'm struggling / wondering most about is how I should combine reading with solving problems.
I feel like I could've made a D on my exam but the part 1 killed me, on part 2 it would've been a D for sure. My biggest problem was when they connected circular motion with electric and magentic fields and just in general when they connected things, I think the major problem was that I didn't know enough about the specific part. Like when they connected magetic and electric fileds.. It would probably been easier if I knew more about each one seperatly, but these problems just seemed impossible to solve. The hardest thing in the entire book for me was when they connected magetic / electric fields with induction or just connected all 3 of them.
Thanks for reading this and thanks for answers I appreciate it :D
Sincerly,
