• Where to go to get help for physics 12?
    10 replies, posted
I've been struggling with Physics as of late, and I'm taking it next year. I want to be prepared as much as possible for it, so are there any resources or places to go for explanations of different concepts and questions? Last year I did pretty badly and I want to do better this year. No this is not a "do my homework for me" thread.
see if there is peer tutoring at your school. i went to it for a few weeks and my grade for math went up alot.
you could always ask your friends for help... unless there stupid :D

What's the 12 for?
The main thing that's tough about Physics 12 is most seem to think that you put the formulas in and you're done. However it's completely different and a lot of questions require extra thinking to find out how the system you're trying to solve works. All that you get is the general way to solve the main types of questions and the more complicated ones most likely need to be either reworded, or have multiple steps within them. I usually put on the side what I already know and see what other variables I can get from that. As for extra help, I basically stayed in the Physics room for nearly every lunch break during the semester.
I took grade 12 Physics, got a 60 in it, I'm here for you bro. In all seriousness ask your teacher.

Your best bet is a tutor. I had a calculus & physics issues (mental retardation). But the tutor was able to explain everything so clearly that it just clicked in my head.
