IB Physics

• Last-minute preparation for IB Exam
  • I feel pretty confident about P1.
    • To avoid common mistakes, it would be helpful to solve some of the hardest P1 questions the day before or something.
  • I want to practice P2 more.
    • For now, I want to solve a lot of P2 problems in the areas I’m weak in.
    • Even if I’ve solved a problem before, I can quickly skim through past papers for P2 and pick out the ones that seem difficult.
    • It seems like a time-saving strategy to practice coming up with a plan and checking if it’s correct.
      • In the last few days, it might be a good idea to practice calculations as well.

• Note for studying for the G12IBMock on 20210602

  • I didn’t study properly for the G12 Midterm.
    • So, it’s better to assume that my understanding of the new topics covered during that time (Energy levels ~ Thin film) is low.

• Areas where I feel weak or have a lack of understanding

  • Binding Energy
  • Slit Diffraction
  • AHL in general
  • Intensity
  • Gravitation

• Summer break

  • Solve textbook problems related to AHL and the areas I’m weak in (4 sections)

    • Scope

    • To-do:

      • For each topic, first review the points I’m unsure about in the textbook.
      • Then, solve Exam-Style Questions on Kognity and Cambridge.
      • It might be effective to review P1/Exam Style Q that I’ve solved and reviewed after a few days.
        • It’s important not to forget the mistakes, so it’s like the forgetting curve.

• Common Mistakes that I don’t want to make in the actual exam (think about countermeasures when enough examples are collected)

  • Mistook the axis of a graph as t when it was actually x.
  • Derived values from a graph that were already provided.

• When A<B, it is not sufficient to just say “A is larger,” but it should be explicitly stated as “A is larger than B.”

• When “correct S.F.” is mentioned, there are cases where the significant figures used in the calculation should be used, not just 3.
