How to Study IB Physics Efficiently (get that 7)

Hey everyone! I got a 7 in IB Physics HL and have been tutoring for a year now. In this video I talk about what slows students down in their studying of IB Physics. The main take away is that all topics in Physics build on top of each other and so if you can work on mastering each topic before moving on you will save a lot of headaches later. Tips in this video will probably apply to other sciences but in this video I wanted to talk specifically about IB Physics. Let me know if you have any other questions! Hope this helps!

I go to a university with a lot of successful IB students. Together we collaborated to create a tutoring organisation where we focus on using active learning to help students achieve success. We are also working on developing free resources to help students study. Finally, we also offer assistance with IAs. Here are some links you can check out:

I need to go from a 3 to a 7, pray for me😢🤞🙏

how did you do?

I got a 4😁

[@thatoneguy-ey7sn]

You are so right. Physics students tend to be so arrogant which is what made me personally scared to get things wrong or ask questions

Saameee now its in 3 days 😭 im cooked

The physics 2024 final was on the 25th of April, paper 1 was pretty tough this year

[@benhongoie1622]

I'm moved by the sincerity of your advice. My takeaway is the humility needed to accept when I'm wrong! Great advice

[@legendaryunicorns3587]

I just transferred from BIO HL to physics HL, I am scared, but I am hopeful. All thanks to your advice !

[@studysinead7804]

Please be hopeful!!! Physics is fascinating subject if you put in the time and effort into really trying to understand the concepts. Feel free to ask me if you need any advice!

are we like the same person ? i literally switched to Physics HL from Bio HL too !!

[@studysinead7804]

[@ashar4121]

How are you feeling? I'm about to switch from HL bio to HL physics too.

[@o7pi]

This definitely did reduce the stress that I was holding

Need to go from 4 to 7. Pray for me.

Thank you, im currently preparing the exam for this October

[@studysinead7804]

goodluck!

[@Gaayathri_Ganesh]

Thanks a million for the advise!!!

[@poojasuresh2304]

I just got a 3 in HL physics and it's a bit harder than IGCSE. Hopefully I can get better in this November exam

[@poojasuresh2304]

@Alex Steven thanks man

[@kofiampo4085]

same, i was doing the IGCSE...was a straight A student just to get 3 in physics HL during school....im about to write physics this may 2023 so its nerv racking

[@aspiringcaptain]

Same for me. I managed to bump it up to a 4 for the semester but I want it to go up to a 6 by the end of this semester we just started. And maybe potentially get a good score on the IB physics exams.

[@johnohaga6197]

Hey, good advice there. Do you have the resources like the PowerPoint and worksheets you used for your HL physics?

[@saaniasparkle5030]

Great video, I'm doing SL physics

[@studysinead7804]

Good luck with that!!!

Same

[@studysinead7804]

@ Good luck to you too!

[@sarielllluo]

what if I hate physics (cries) It is really difficult for me. And my confusion has drained my remaining interest in the subject given I am a more lang and humans person... (desperately crying)

[@4eyedfrog]

Yeah same does anyone have advice? For the 2025 course

[@user-kase]

thank you so much!!

[@o7pi]

I find this funny, but in a good way!😂

I'm about to switch to HL physics 2 months after the school starts...Trying to find some hope here.

Wow this was EXACTLY me! I had to catch up so much how was it for you?

@@Lucky-ud5sz it went perfectly, was a good decision. Never got anything lower than 7 and finished with 10% above 7 boundary. Best of luck!

@@Lucky-ud5sz I did exercises from the book and watched Chris Doners videos. And in dp 2 I did past exams. Don’t worry, physics really have a pattern and the more you do the better you get.

do you recommend doing past papers from before the 2016 syllabus change?
