Physics 1 Exam.

[Ngage0]

just wondering, who ever did Physics 10003 last year or have started attempting the previous year exams. Could you be able to tell me how difficult it is for someone who has a strong yr 12 physics background but didn't concentrate much during physics lectures?

cheers

What is wrong with trying the past exams yourself to see how difficult they are?

[Ngage0]

Nothing, i just haven't had the time to try physics past year exams yet studying hard for chemistry and biology. I just wanted to know how it was before i tried so i know what to expect.

Difficulty is highly subjective. Considering you say that you haven't put in much work to the subject don't expect it to be easy.

i understand what you are saying, i just want to know how everyone else is going with it thats all.

Ngage0 have you started chemistry exams yet?

[Ngage0]

Yes i have, they all follow a similar trend i have noticed and i can do majority of question fairly well. Anyone started on physics?

I found physics harder than my other subjects. It was my worst subject out of my three science subjects (Fundamentals Chem/Chem 2 [didn't do Chem 1], Physics 1/Physics 2: Life Sciences and Biology 1/2) in both semesters of first year. Funnily enough physics was the only one of those subjects I actually did in VCE, the only knowledge I had of the other two were whatever we before VCE. I wasn't very strong at physics in VCE though (think i got 37 raw for Physics in VCE), so you probably had a stronger background than I did. But having done it before, I guess I took physics a fair bit more lightly than my other two (especially semester 2), and I suffered the consequences when I got my final mark.

I personally remember finding the practice exam questions quite difficult when I was doing them, as they required a fair bit of applied knowledge (think that was more semester 2 though), which I wasn't great at yet, in any subject really.
