Hi all,
Im in year 10 and next semester im undertaking Physics Unit 2 as a science elective and if I do really well, I might continue on with Unit 3 and 4, considering my school allows it. I was just wondering if Unit 1 was necessary, I know some parts of it are essential, but I won't be covering them at school, so should I just do them myself? I know the level of difficulty of the subject im undertaking and im willing to devote large amounts of time doing it.
Thanks!

Don't worry you're smart ;) ;)

As it happens, unit 2 carries over more (motion and light are covered again, however more deeply).
The only thing that's relevant in unit 1 to unit 3 & 4 physics is the electricity area of study. I'd recommend you self learn the basics of electricity before undertaking 3/4. Don't worry, it's not that difficult and you've always got AN as a medium to ask questions.
Just use the study guide as a basis and, with the help of youtube, you should be fine.

unit 1 has nothing at all to do with unit 2, but the electricity component of it carries over to unit 3. there's no need to fret, though; you'll catch up next year
