In summary, self-study in physics can be made more effective by setting specific goals, using a variety of resources such as textbooks and online videos, actively engaging with the material by taking notes and solving practice problems, seeking help from teachers or peers when needed, and regularly reviewing and testing one's understanding. Additionally, adopting good study habits and maintaining a positive attitude can also contribute to successful self-study in physics.

Hey, I am a new user here hoping to be as active as possible over the course of the next few months. For various circumstances i will be having a lot of free time for the next few months and I plan to use this time to familiarize my self and learn as much physics as i can physically and mentally handle. Anyway that's about it, I'll likely be bugging some of you regarding different types of advise. I'll try not to be too much of a nuisance .

cheers,
jebjed

Welcome to the forum. What's your level of formal education? That is, at what level will you be studying physics?

i have recently finished first year college level physics so ill likely be starting from zero again just to have a really solid understanding of the foundations , in terms of math i likely will not be starting from zero given I am at calc iii and i feel no need to go back into learning limits and derivatives from scratch.
