Title: What did you find hardest in VCE Physics?
Post by: rife168 on February 15, 2012, 06:22:40 pm

Title speaks for itself. Maybe it's a whole chapter, or just a particular topic.. Share your thoughts.
My detailed studies are S&M and Sound.

Both those detailed studies are fairly easy imo. I found Electronics and Photonics the hardest in Unit 3 and probably Interactions of Light and Matter was the hardest in Unit 4. For me, I found VCE physics to be far more boring than hard though.

Yeah I kind of wish I did UMEP physics... :(
What SS did you get for Physics?

IMO the electronics detailed studies are the easiest. However I did S&M and sound in year 12 (I did the others for fun) and found them to be particularly easy as well.

But going back on topic the hardest part of physics for me personally was electromagnetism

Haha, I fluked a 41 raw :D Barely any study (literally crammed it the night before and morning before mostly), definitely didn't deserve my score. I also don't recommend taking my approach!

I just hated physics, I found every topic to be extremely dry (and my terrible teachers didn't help either) and I lost motivation early into Semester 1 (April-ish I think?). We played CS every second physics lesson, and my class didn't so well in physics, despite arguably being the strongest MHS class by a very long way.

I found circuit diagrams to be the only super annoying thing, structures and sound are probably the easiest D/S' to get your head around.

I hated the Electromagnetism stuff.
Destroyed me in the exam

All that ^
I did find Physics a bit hard, not too taxing, but very boring.

Electromagnetism.

To this day, I still can't draw magnetic fields which is the first question on every exam :(
