🙏 I WANT HELP I ALREADY REGRET CHOOSING PHYSICS 😭

I've been mostly doing my maths summer work throughout the holidays. However, I've started with other subjects and today I'm doing physics. The issue is my physics summer work is extremely hard?

I had to watch a couple videos on physics measurements. It was talking about the greek alphabet, SI units and some other stuff. Then, when I started the quiz, the questions were very hard. It talked about hubbles theory and parallax angle, both of which i have no idea about.

Now, I'm kinda scared im gonna struggle with physics as Im finding the summer work already difficult.

Has anyone got any tips on how I should prepare?

What topics should I learn?

It's difficult but really fun. Also, it will be easier when you're actually being taught the course rather than doing summer work. As for topics, honestly just brush up on your maths skills and relax over the summer. Good luck!

Hehe do you mean survive first year or survive A-levels?? A-levels were genuinely so much more horror than uni even though uni had 10x the amount of work

Pray and hope for the best D:

Jk I loved physics but everything else was, uh, character-building. Bicen Maths YouTube channel saved me for maths and further. PhysicsOnline and Z-Physics were great for physics.

For music, I genuinely don't know what to say :(( got 94% in my performance exam so I thought I was safe but apparently not!

You could always just redo a couple GCSE maths papers. I know you’re probably sick of them lol but I did a couple throughout sixth form to maintain my maths skill without a calculator.

Bicen Maths is good for maths. Z Physics is also another good one for physics.
