<p>What is the best way to study for physics 6A midterms/finals? Is it like chemistry (where you need to understand the concepts and do lots of practice problems) or is it more like math (where you just need to do practice problems)? Thanks.</p>
<p>(I'm asking because I'm debating on whether to take the LS2 and physics 6A finals on the same day or on two separate days...)</p>
<p>Oh! Another question I have is: does it matter which day of the week I have my physics lab? (For example, is it better to have it near the end of the week after the majority of people have already done it?) Thanks again.</p>
<p>I think it depends which professor is teaching, because some professors like to put multiple choice questions on the finals, whereas others just give you problems. Either way, you need to do lots and lots of practice problems. </p>
<p>For physics lab, it doesn’t really matter when you have it. Nothing is ever due in that class (as in, no homework, quizzes or writeups). All your work is done in-lab. It’s honestly the most pointless lab ever.</p>
<p>i dont remember ever having multiple choice on a physics test.</p>
<p>you need to know concepts and do practice problems. usually the tough part is figuring out what the question is asking, then determining which is the correct formula(s) to use and how to use them.</p>
<p>multiple choice questions are usually concept questions; i’ve had them.</p>
<p>Are there 2 separate finals for the physics 6A lecture and lab? Or is there just 1 final for physics? Thanks!</p>
<p>just one final for lecture. lab concepts are not tested.</p>
<p>you gotta know the concepts. sorry, thats how it is for most courses. if you dont know the concepts well, you can kiss your A goodbye. in addition, if you understand the concepts, the things you learn will stick with you for a lifetime.</p>
<p>For 6A, you have to know the general concept imo - which isn’t difficult. The rest is just practicing problems…</p>
