How I Got an A* in Physics A-level (Cambridge Student)

[@PhysicsOnline]

Glad you found my videos useful - great work on achieving an A*.

[@euanwilliams2033]

Thank you so much for these videos! I was trying to self-study using the AQA textbook, but it was so horribly written and all these resources have been so much better. All the best with your studies at Cambridge!

[@abox1158]

bro i needed this so badly. Thank you, lately I've not being doing as well as I wanted to in physics and I didn't understand where I was going wrong. Thanks alot for your advice and help.

[@adilrakim3389]

This is me rn ngl

[@RandomTubefulcrum]

This video was quite useful and straight to the point. The editing and your overall confidence is getting progressively better aswell!

[@kenzahcarstairs5417]

you're so right about cgp guide, they won't help much when learning the content but I find them so effective when revising and I love making flashcards using the! I have textbooks too but I never use them because they make no sense to me and i feel like they contain lot of unnecessary content as well

[@uzairarshad1933]

2-3 months for past papers💀. i hardly have around 1 month for past papers but i regularly do topicals. managed to get 3As for Aslevel, now hoping for the A*.

[@huh4419]

hello i wanna recommendation from you both guys that... still my (As physic and bio) course isn't totally complete but i am thinking to give As paper in this (may/ June) series rather then to give all As and A combine paper because i think that it will be stressful for me so what do u think is it possible to practice along with p3 within a 2 month plz reply .

both my physics teachers are trash af and because of them two most of the students and me haven't learned anything and now it kind of too late for them to teach us properly

So nice to see this video after doing the first physics test so badly that I think I got a U

[@ali.0121]

Hi Ray. I’m in Year 11, and doing triple science. When revising content for sciences, and what I make my anki flashcards from, should I use the cgp guide, the subject textbook, that has all the content too from school, or other resources like BBC Bitesize? Thanks.

[@helmsmanpacker3456]

I would suggest to just use the resource that helps you understand it best, and you don’t have to stick to one resource. I think the main thing is making sure the content is from your exam board, so you only learn things you need to know

[@alvinagiala4797]

I used mygcsescience which really helped. They guarantee a 8/9 of you finish all the content so there's a money back guarantee as well. Personally that was the only resource I used as they have templates that I filled in as well but my friends said free science lessons is really good to learn. I bought his revision guide as well - which I didn't end up using as I used the website but it was really good as it was like an easy made revision guide.

[@Smile-ml4no]

i suck at physics no idea what possesed me to take it, but i REALLY suck at the maths ESPECIALLY the angles. which is great considering a level physics is just a level maths in a flimsy disguise. i also dont do a level math. if anyone out there is seeing this comment please give tips and resources on how to lockdown on the mathsy half of physics ❤❤

[@chaoticcitrus]

@@RAmjad Thank you

[@aaron-bl1zk]

Hi, great video thanks for the info. A quick Q for you, how long on average would you spend on self study per subject each week? And did this change from year 12 to year 13? Thanks

[@pratyasha279]

Thanks so much for this Ray!! Super useful ~ do you have a vid on how to make Anki Flashcards more concise (per module)? thank you :))

[@nova7957]

Hello, I found out whenever I answer questions that I have never seen before, I tend to mess up on those questions and after looking at the mark scheme, I understand the question and how to do it. How can I try to understand the question the first time? Do you have any advice? I have been doing lots of past paper questions but keep messing up the first time.

[@MrKingFire0369]

Same,just improve maths skill

[@Awai_quotes]

I wanna know how many hrs you study in total per day ?or week when you was doing a level

[@physicsmathstutor5408]

nice

[@A-LEVELGRIND-lq3ju]

What’s the best channel to learn content from?

[@ali.0121]

I want to create a retrospective revision timetable on Notion but I have no clue how to make and edit one, once I've got the app. Could you ease make a quick tutorial or something explaining how to do that. Thanks.

Hi! I haven't done O Level Physics but I'm fairly good at ol maths, so do you think I'll be able to take A level Physics with no prior knowledge on the subject? Thank you :)

[@RAmjad]

I think it's possible! Most of physics is logical like math anyways :)

[@korduene]

what about student books for learning the content?

[@zrind4746]

Please advise do you get a scholarship at Cambridge

[@Awai_quotes]

I just wanna ask what is the physics aqa grade boundaries for aqa ?(for A*)

[@RAmjad]

Ah, so you can find the grade boundaries from previous years on their website (there should be a page to see the grate boundaries from all previous years).

Could you tell me any resources for a level biology

[@feralfishfinger81225]

Hi, I’m currently a physical natural sciences offer holder (!) like you were too I guess! I am currently very much on the A/A* boundary when I do past papers (getting 3 marks off of an A* etc) however I have two weeks till my first physics a level and I am required to get an A* for physics which is a massive source of stress at the moment. Would you have any specific advice for me in this situation?

[@RAmjad]

Hi! The most useful thing I found to stop me from teetering on the boundary was improving my exam technique and creating the Advice and Extra Content file. I knew most of the content by that point and how to answer most of the questions but kept messing up because sometimes I jumped straight into a question without much thought or generally ran out of time for thinking about the harder questions. Improving your exam technique, I think, makes a real different at this point

I just started year 12 alevel physics any advice you can give me, I will truly appreciate it.

[@baldoggie]

I’m doing it right now, ask your teacher for complete notes on all topics in year 12 (or perhaps the whole of sixth form) and copy the notes into your folder alongside your current notes. I also make myself mini exams which help me learn the material.

[@orangut4ng]

im doing physics, year 12. so far, im getting E's because of no motivation to revise. lets say i say i actually committed and tried to get better from now, is it possible to reach an A*? also how long should i revise for a day

[@RAmjad]

For sure! It's still possible - you have almost a year and a half. Also, don't worry too much about how long to be revising for - I made a series on studying effectively (you can check my playlists) and this is one of the first questions that I address.

[@orangut4ng]

@@RAmjad thank you

@I S T O R I A I got a B for the mocks back in March, these tests were fine for physics except for paper 1, I could get an A if grade boundaries were nice enough but im expecting another B to be honest, which is fine because my course is AAB, inshallah I will obtain those in August
