Martha’s Answer

Hi Lekzy, this is a great question. I am not an expert on physics, but here are a few ideas:
- Ask your Physics teacher for advice. He/she likely has time-tested advice. If you are in the class now, he/she can personalize the advice to your performance.
- Physics involves a lot of math so perhaps your Math teacher could help, too.
- Think about how you learn best. Do you do better with others? If so, maybe get a study partner or form a study group. Are you a visual learner? If so, draw illustrations of principles. Do you learn by listening? If so, obviously stay focused in class but also there are loads of videos on the internet.
- Get alternate explanations, if necessary - if the explanation of a concept in class isn't making sense, see if you could find another explanation, such as on Khan Academy (see link below)

I have included several links below with tips on studying physics, which I hope you find helpful. Good luck!
