Short question:
What are the factors behind Sheldons choice of couch spot?

If the test was on that show I would get 100%

STS, STD's, STI's are the things I'm having problems with right now.

Ya me to ha

cocopopsxx · 12-06-2012 7:52pm

Oh God.....I'm screwed for Physics, I ao regret choosing this subject, hateeee it. It will be worse than last year!

4 and a half days-physics, Accounting and Chemistry to do. Challenge accepted. :cool:

Even though I know most of my accounting and a lot of my chemistry...hopefully I remember them still.

You can do it i have faith in you

robbiep94 · 12-06-2012 8:11pm

so what are people studying?

shefellover93 · 12-06-2012 8:13pm

This is my throw away subject :pac: Gonna do a bit over the weekend but not too bothered, it's all about Economics after tomorrow morning

Don't bother try and predict physics, even stuff from last year is likely to come up, all you can be sure of is the option! I'm looking forward to getting French out of the way and getting back onto all these subjects!

c28omzk7ihsxv0 · 12-06-2012 8:15pm

In all honesty, you can leave out one section in physics entirely and you should be sound. But do all the experiments.

Also when doing the applied physics (Higher only section) for the love of god don't do electricity. Particle physics is so easy and they can only ask you so much on it.

Just did electricity in option today

it so easy particle is impossible dont you think?

Particle is simple

c28omzk7ihsxv0 · 12-06-2012 8:22pm

I never said electricity is hard but there is much more to remember in it. Meanwhile there is much less to learn in particle physics and the equations in it are simple.
Looking at this years papers so far, don't go with predictions. BUT, it is only one guy tat makes the physics paper, it is then reviewed. I got that info from an undisclosed source. And he has been predictable in the last 5 years!

Particle physics is just learning about a few names and accelerators, nothing complicated and it's all really easy to grasp. The name might just throw some people off it. Trust me, do it.

Well the fella just knows that one guy makes the papers. He doesn't know THE guy. Anyway, I was just told that and then given predictions.

yup they would of called to your home at 4 in the morning and carry you away in a bag and seperate you from civilisation for the rest of your life:D

I'm ommitting electricity cos I hate it and don't get it and mechanics because we never covered it. I do sincerely hope I have 5 questions I can answer.

That' s probably not a good option to leave out mechanics. It's the backbone of the course and is a garanted question 6. Think again before deciding to leave it out.

fizzyorange · 12-06-2012 8:49pm

Is anyone else doing OL Physics? Not looking for predictions or anything, I'm just curious because I seem to be one of the few.

c28omzk7ihsxv0 · 12-06-2012 8:53pm

Well actually you can leave out mechanics but definitely not the experiments. The thing is you may get a question and a half on mechanics, then you'll be left with no choice. Leave out heat, light and waves or something.

Just do everything as the people who wrote the syllabus wanted:D

Well, the physics paper is made in a way that you can leave out one whole section and get away with it. Better learn off 5 out of six sections really well and only answer on them then to answer 4 well and half answer another.

HeaneyBabe · 12-06-2012 9:04pm

This has to be my biggest regret. I hate physics. I was so screwed for the mocks so I looked up (i really didn't want to) what was coming up and guess what?? I STILL FAILED!!!

one particle of unobtanium has a nuclear reaction with the flux capacitor, carry the two, changing its atomic isotope into a radioactive spider. FCUK YOU SCIENCE!

We never ever covered any of it. I don't think I can study all of the Mechanics over the weekend. I know the Mechanics experiments though.

And I don't know, I didn't know much electricity or any mechanics and I still got an A1 in Honours in the mock. It can get you through, although a bit risky because you may find yourself only being able to do 4 questions.

Wanchor · 12-06-2012 10:59pm

I think the best advice for physics is know what each variable on formulas mean. Once you know that it becomes easy. Write down what the question gives you, even the inconspicuous things like "starts from rest" which translates to u = 0, then all you have to do is find which formula best suits the data you have. I even think theres a couple of pages in the tables telling what the symbols means. Where would we be without those magnificent tables.

So handy for Question 5, when they ask all these simple calculations.

definitely not too late to learn mechanics
you have your formulas and the rest is general common sense
less stress more success condenses the entire mechanics section into 4 pages.

ya but that book is useless not enough detail at all.

What's the best way to study physics? Sit down and learn notes? Help, I struggle with Physics real bad!

Read the content, and UNDERSTAND it. Then Try questions and learning off what each symbol means in the log books. ONce you have that done you're away with it.

Oh ands learn off graphs.

well theres a real good thing on eircom study hub if you have it?? it great it goes over everything and there is visual learning:D otherwise its old-fashioned study with the book.

cocopopsxx · 13-06-2012 2:36pm

Ok thanks guys.

and I hate electricity, will I be safe if I don't focus on it as much as other topics?

If you learn everything else apart from electricity/magnetism you will be alright.
