We've only just finished out detailed study (structures) + motion...
starting everything else next week =$
Hope we finish on time, I'm just going with the school

We've covered motion and electronics/photonics. Starting detailed study shortly. Our class has been revising for the exam since basically day one as my physics teacher teaches the course with huge emphasis on exam questions (we don't do textbook questions, just a lot of exam questions). He's really pro..

>.< I'm going to adopt the "take things into my own hands" approach. I need to finish learning C5 for Physics, and C13+C14 for Chem, then take a week or two to consolidate my understanding, and then start practice exams.

how many weeks are you going to spend on doing practice exams and how many are you planning to do?

Our school is aiming to finish strucutes next week. then lots of revision.

I've started checkpoints for chem and physics and have no real shortage of questions and exams to do :)

I'm sort of concerned that its to easy. Not trying to sound arrogant, its just all my other subjects require a lot more homework and go at a faster pace during class.

VCE: Biology 42 (43.23)|Chemistry 42 (45.88)|English 43 (42.87)|Physics 45 (47.07)| Maths methods 40 (45.14)|Specialist maths 34 (41.70)

ATAR: 98.65

we've finished electronics and photonics, and we're about halfway through structures ( I think), we finished the torque part today, so I really don't know what else there is. Probably finish end of next week!

Hopefully.

that should be it, unless u havnt done translational and rotational equilibrium.

yea that was part of torque, right?

We did the finding the force of support beams (plus other forces) using torque=0 and fnet=0, so that's the rotational and translational equilibrium!

Hope we're done, lol that'd be pretty sweet.

Got a heap of practice exams waiting for me, and I can't wait to get stuck into them! ;D

at school were yet to start the detailed study however I've done the whole topic in my own time, completed the electronics and photonics sections for all the practice exams i've got which is about 25(excluding the transistor section of the previous study design), done all of checkpoints and just have to finish the motion and detailed study sections in the exam papers. Confident about electronics and photonics but not about motion.I reckon in electronics, there kinda limited in the type of questions they can give you, like you can almost guess it whereas in motion there's like a million different types of problems they can make.

I might start studying a week or two before the exam... the course has gotten so ridiculously easy I really don't see it warrantying a stupid amount of revision. Being genuinely interested in it though makes me inclined to remember things... MM though, I'm probably screwed no matter how much studying I do.

Stupid fucking tertiary pre-reqs!

seeing as many assumptions are made e.g air resistance is said to be neglible for the sake of vce, i dont think there are a million different problems they can make for motion.

Yeah there is definitely a limited range of possible questions.

After a while the questions get very repetitive...
