I enjoy solving practice problems for any subject, especially maths and physics. It's challenging for me and I like a challenge, I could solve practice problems for the rest of the day without a problem, morning until night, which some may think is weird. Anyway, I hate reading textbooks in general. I retain information from it pretty quickly, but I always struggled applying the information to questions. So some suggested I do more practice problems. I tried some out and I really like doing them, be it from the textbook, online, past papers etc. When I get answers wrong, I go back to the question, observe what went wrong, then solve it again to get the right answer. It has really helped.
Currently I get good grades, but I'm not getting as high as I would like to. (Mostly A's, 1 B, some A*'s), I'm aiming for mostly A*'s. I feel that what was holding me back from achieving this was my inability to apply knowledge to questions and new situations even when I have a very good memory.
So So say I have 14 hours of free time on weekends, if I spent maybe two hours on the Internet, two hours watching tv, two/three hours in total looking at the textbook for a bit of background knowledge and to learn how to do new questions, then 6 hours doing practice questions. Then on school days, 2 hours of practice questions. Do you think this is a good idea and do you think following this I will be on track to get mostly A*'s, or even all A*'s? Thanks!
(I will give myself some days off of course to relax. And before you suggest me going outside, I do already lol. I'm just very interested in my studies, that's all.)
