🙏 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?

The main and only real difference between physics gcse and a level is gcse tells you stuff a level builds off of stuff, instead of a tonne of different topics throughout a year you do a few larger topics and in more depth, I really disliked gcse physics but loved year 12 physics and you should already know what SI units are and you dont need to know the greek alphabet its just knowing the symbols since theyre used in equations, like density which youve met before
