AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around preparing for the MEXT scholarship exams, particularly the physics test, which the original poster feels unprepared for due to a lack of coverage in their high school curriculum. They express concern about their ability to score well based on previous tests. Participants suggest starting with introductory physics textbooks, particularly those that cover basic mechanics, electromagnetism, optics, and thermodynamics. They also recommend exploring free online resources, including videos and texts, to supplement learning. The original poster clarifies that their native language is Spanish but is comfortable reading English materials. They mention seeking a tutor who was unable to assist with the relevant topics and express gratitude for the recommendations.

This year I am triyng to obtain the mext scholarship. One of the requeriments is going truth a lot of exams, one of them is the physics one, when i saw the previous test , i realized that with my current knowledge i can not even get a 30/100. In my country most of the subjects on the test are not explored so well in high school, because of this i do not really know where can i start studying. Can someone recomendme books from where i can study all the theory involded in this test?

Here is a previous test http://www.studyjapan.go.jp/pdf/questions/10/ga-phy.pdf

Note: I am no really good with my english redaction, i apologize for inconvenience.

I galnced at your link and it looks like basic Mechanics/E&M/Optics/Thermo. If you've studied calculus any of the introductory books in the textbook section of the fourms would be a good start. Alternatively, there are various free books/videos online which you can find that are just as good.

I'm assuming japanese is your first language right? I don't know where you would find any good resources in your native language, but they must exist. Try googling to see if any of your universities put up free physics videos/texts.

My native language is spanish, but i do not have any problem with reading english books. Recentely in my city i looked for a tutor, he said to me that he do not dominate those topics, i will look for the books that you mentioned. Thank you.
 
Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation.
