@@rosilove28 Well ..first I do self-learning..basically whenever my teacher explains something in class I don't get it ..I get confuse a LOT lol..so I try to be my own teacher wherever I can... I make my own simple notes and summary of each chapter. (I get some help from the net where I get much of the guidelines) and most important after each chapter has been covered I will practice their exam questions. (Marking scheme is a great help there and where I don't quite understand I ask the teacher ). You'll get A LOT of practice from there and when exam is near you'll know you're ready to slay that paper. Right now I'm trying to put More efforts and using the useful advice from this Video too.

What you need is actually a good teacher, it's always easier to understand when someone who already understand it and has lots of experience teaching teaches you because not only they know what students normally struggle with they also know the common misconceptions by students. It is harder to understand if you self study because you have to imagine the whole thing in your brain yourself. Without my wonderful teachers, I am doubtful whether I will fall in love with physics lol, I love it because it makes sense and its easy, you dont have to memorise so much facts like chemistry

[@Munman-69]

Bump

[@mominimran1344]

Random refer to errors that can arise due to human errors and errors that are not constant in magnitude as they vary from person to person in terms of the degree of the error they have to factor in to their readings. Systematic simply refers to 'system' errors that correspond to the errors arising due to the measuring device itself either due to faulty calibration or simply just a faulty device. These errors are constant in nature and have the same magnitude to be added to an uncertainty of the measuring device.
