GCSE Physics Paper 1 Last Minute Tips to Make Einstein Proud

Physics GCSE is in my view the easiest science. In this video, I'm going to be giving you guys the best advice have that helps me get nine in GCSE physics. If you're new here, please subscribe and please everyone leave like. Now, let's just get straight into this. I'm going to give this keep this as concise as possible filled with as much information that helped me get nine. The first point is, and this is why said physics think is the easiest GCSE is the fact that you get the equation sheet. Okay, this is literally gold mine. It used to be that students had to memorize all those 20 equations and that made it so much harder. But that is not the case anymore. My year was the first year when we had the equation sheet and recognized just how important this was and as result made the physics equation sheet core part of my revision. Now here's what you need to do. You need to make sure you get lot of practice of those mathematical equations. Okay? Because like the equation questions because you get the equation sheet you've got to get those marks. It gives it to you. So you need to practice with every single one of those equations. Okay? Now I've I'm going to put link in the description, okay, of bunch of questions that found online and use this as well of the equation questions. So go through that, mark it maybe using AI or something because don't have the mark scheme for it or ask your teacher for these mathematical equations or look online, whatever. But you need to go through loads and loads of questions and practice them using the equation sheet. If you're aiming for grade eight or nine, found this book really helpful. Okay, 8 to targeted workbook. So you're probably going to get five mark question, okay, where you actually have to combine equations and that can be quite hard. So if you're aiming for nine and for the higher grades, make sure you've got practice with those really hard equations where you have to combine more than one. Okay, so that's my first point and that's really really useful. You've got to just bang through loads of them. That's probably the thing I'd be doing the most the night before is making sure I'm very confident on those. Like said, because you get the equation sheet. Now, it's also really important to know the units for everything. So, what would also do is print out the equation sheet. Make sure you have the equation sheet. Go through every single equation and think, right, what are the units here? What are the units here? What are the units here? You've got to know the units. Just be careful with that. And that can also help you work backwards from the question, okay? Because you know what's what. So, go through, see if you know the units for everything. If you don't, fill it in in red, print out another one, and try again. Okay? You've got to know the units. You've got to utilize the equation sheet because it's given to you, and you've got to understand just how useful that really is. Now my next point then want to talk about is the practicals. Okay, say this before every science science exam because the practicals always come up. Okay, so you've got to revise it. And know keep reminding you but it's so critical. They are guaranteed to come up. There is almost certainly going to be six mark question asking you to detail practical. So make sure you learn them. Okay? Go through them the night before. Watch freest videos. Test yourself on the practical questions. around 10 to 15% of physics is practicals and 20 to 30% is maths. So already with the maths with the practicals you're pushing 40% and outputs. Okay? And grade seven for physics is only around 70% 75% maybe. Okay? grade nine not grade seven. So listen you've got to learn the practicals and you've got to learn the equation sheet really well inside out. Okay. Next point then is topics. So the practicals and the maths is big part of physics but obviously you need to know some of the topics. What I'd recommend is senica learning. Okay. And I'd probably go through one of these topics between now and the exam. Pick your weakest area. Just see what you can do. Okay? Because there are areas of physics that are less mathematical where you actually just need to know lot of content. So make sure you go through them. Energy sometimes although there are parts of energy that is mathematical. Electricity. There's also math but you need to know some definitions. Pick the hard topics. The one difficult thing about physics is some of it can be hard to understand. think out of the sciences, found physics the hardest to understand. Like electricity and electromagnetism, just hated those topics. Like they are some of my least favorite GC topics among all of them. But because hated them, knew need to put effort into them. Okay, so this is where did use lot of free science lessons to actually try and explain it. You've got to make sure you understand the physics content more so than something like biology where lot of it is kind of memorization. You don't really need to like understand. But for physics, I'd recommend trying to understand it. Okay? So go through freestyle systems, pick out your hardest topics. know the motor, the motor rule and all that stuff. Paper two is really difficult, but electricity is often hard one that catches students out. We want to find the areas that catch the students out and get good at them and hope they come up. Okay, that's your strategy because you need to perform better than the country relative. You need to basically do better than them in the questions that they find hard. Now, as said, utilize the equation sheet. Okay, that's really, really important. Next point then is obviously practice. say this before every science paper and I'm going to continue to say this. You need to just do loads and loads of practice. Okay, this is so essential because you spot patterns, you learn the mark scheme technique and you just get good practice with the maths questions as well. Okay, so print out loads of questions, right? That's so important or ask your teacher to print out those questions or ask chat or something. Look at past papers and just go through them and mark them. Keep thinking what is going wrong, where am missing marks, what topics are my weakest, and then focus on them. Okay, that is most of my advice for physics. Okay, definitions as well is incredibly important. I'm going to put some definitions in the description of this video, but Ch can help you with that. Make sure you're pretty confident in all the definitions. Okay, there's couple laws, couple rules that aren't tested on the equation sheet. So, your definitions need to be strong for sure. And honestly, with that advice, physics is going to go well for you guys, okay? It's going to be really good subject. I'm very confident of that. Now it's just the maths, the practicals, knowing the topics. But honestly, with that, you can actually quite quickly get good at physics. Out of all the sciences, think this is the easiest one to quite quickly improve at. The usual reminders then about paper two. Okay, physics paper one. Even if this goes badly, we have paper two to prepare for. Paper two, physics is different. All of the paper two stances are actually quite different obviously, but if this goes badly, you're going to double down on paper two. Okay, that's super super important. Timings is not really time pressured exam, don't think. So just move through it at nice regular relaxed pace. Don't leave anything blank. Guess everything if you can, especially because you have the equation sheet. Sometimes could use the equation sheet to kind of work out things. Okay, that show me the relationship between certain topics. So really think smartly about how you can properly use that equation sheet. And then also would just with the multiple choice questions, make sure you're making very very educated guess. Other than that, honestly, this is going to be really good exam. I'm really confident whatever they throw at you. The hardest questions are usually the math questions and you've got the equation sheet. So, keep working on that. Keep thinking, does my answer make some sense? And use the advice that told you about the equation sheet. That's super important. Thanks for watching.
