The most effective last-minute study strategy for a physics exam involves prioritizing active problem-solving over passive learning methods. University students should focus on reviewing lecture materials and textbooks while completing as many practice exercises as possible. Engaging with the material actively is crucial, as watching YouTube videos is deemed ineffective for immediate exam preparation. If the exam is imminent, significant last-minute studying is unlikely to yield positive results.
PREREQUISITESThis discussion is beneficial for first-year university students preparing for physics exams, educators seeking effective study strategies, and anyone looking to enhance their exam preparation techniques.
Go through the lecture, read the textbook, but mostly do as many exercises as possible.Kuzon said:Should I go through my lectures or just do practice questions, or just watch youtube vids? What's the best way to study for physics? I'm a year one university student.

Watching YouTube is the last thing you want to do. You need to be active, not passive.
I had missed that, as it was in the thread title. Indeed, it's too late to do anything significant.micromass said:If your exam is tomorrow, then you're asking this too late.
If I were to bet on the outcome of your final exam, my bet would be on a failing grade for the exam.Kuzon said:I haven't studied because I've been prioritising other subjects.
