Holiday Homework // Desperate Advice Required.

[Cosec]

So we've finally finished the first semester, Unit 3 is doneeee. All good and well, well no.
I wrote a post about it a while back but basically, my effort in the subject isnt being reflected by my marks.
The first motion EPI i smashed, but there after both the structures and the electricity SAC's i bombed, badly. This is despite completing a range of questions, checkpoints, NEAP,  Exampro Sacs, a range of other SAC's. I use alongside the questions, a range of resources to teach my self the content so iget a diverse range of approaches to teaching the content. All to no avail. My marks are reflecting my effort. Im the only kid in the class that does work, no one else does anything. MAybe read the textbook and complete the bare minimum questions at max.
So maybe its bad luck, maybe im just getting screwed over, maybe im approaching the usbject entirely wrong. I have no clue.
So thats my first question, any advice from fellow students?

Secondly,
How should one approach Unit 3 revision. From above, it is clear and beneficial looking forward that i continue to revise and practice the unit 3 content. How is this best completed. I obvisouly have gaps in my knowledge, so what is the best way to approach this. Should i fill these gaps first, and then work through each checkpoints chapter again? Followed by a practice exam each week from now on? Im not sure about this in particular.

Thanks

Look, if you truly are putting in as much work as you say you are, I'm as puzzled as you.

If you were brave enough, perhaps you could post some of your Sacs to see where you went wrong?

Also, when you are doing these questions, are they under timed conditions?

Checkpoints no. I use them to check if i can apply theory im learning to questions.
Practice SACs - yes, all under timed conditions.
Ive accepted that im doing something wrong. I just have no clue hwo to go about it. Do i need to practice more?
Its this thats making me procrastinate because i have no clue what to do.
Im pretty certain a majority of my loss of mistakes are based on stupid mistakes, time pressure from the sacs becaus ei ususally perfrom quite well in the practice sacs
No point complaining about it.

I just need some advice hwo to approach it all. its a new term, so a fresh start. Im looking into ways i can change the way i learn about physics. Im fine in methods, i perform very well. ANd as far as im aware im learning in a similar manner. So i can still shift my results a bit.
But my main concern is because ive performed poorly in the unit 3 sacs, similar performance in so going to carry into the exams.
I dont know how to go about revising unit 3 content.
What is the most beneficial approach?
Can someone shed some light on that.

Do you feel its beneficial to upload the sacs? I can if desired. Like i said, a lot are due to stupid mistakes, some to careless errors, some are questions i needed more time to think over.

Are you sure the rest of your class aren't making the same mistakes you are making (and more)?
It would be great if you could upload your SACs, we didn't even get ours back at our school last year.

IMO you shouldn't spend too much time revising unit 3, you'll have plenty of time when revising for exams to polish it up, focus on magnets, induction and power transmission first. While some concepts from E+P carry over to the power area of study, it's really just basic circuit theory- no diodes, amplifiers or photonic transducers. Don't waste time that you could be using for unit 4 now.
