How to best prepare for a physics major

[QUOTE="verty, post: 6043933, member: 54975"] This is an excellent question. Here is my advice. Usually the second half of most courses is more difficult. Also, the content of the second half is usually worth more marks in the final exam. So it's important to ramp up your effort in the second half of the course. It may take more hours to understand everything, etc, or you may start to be tired of the material. But if you want those top marks, you have to reckon with the later content. Then also, homework usually counts 40% or 50% of your grade. This is quite a lot so it is important not to drop marks on your homework. Try to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to homework. If you are doing a homework question and it doesn't feel like you know the material, take a break and try to fill in that gap. One has amazing resources now, what with the internet, supplementary textbooks, etc. If the textbook isn't clear or you just aren't feeling it, perhaps look it up online. But try to answer those questions and when you do the homework, it'll make so much more sense. [/QUOTE]
