The discussion revolves around strategies for last-minute studying for a physics exam, particularly focusing on the effectiveness of various study methods such as reviewing lectures, practicing problems, and using online resources. The context is that the original poster is a first-year university student who has not studied due to prioritizing other subjects.
Participants express a mix of serious advice and humor, with some agreeing on the necessity of problem-solving practice, while others highlight the urgency of the situation. There is no clear consensus on the best approach, and the discussion reflects differing opinions on study methods.
Participants acknowledge the time constraints faced by the original poster, which may limit the effectiveness of any last-minute study strategy. The discussion does not resolve the best approach to studying under such circumstances.
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.
