SPM Physics' Revision Tips

Assalamu'alaikum & Hi to everyone..

Since my blog published on NST Tech & U section last Monday..i received lots of questions,request & emails.
Lately i'm quite bz with tuition class due to xm fever..as usual my student did a last minute preparation..so byk soalan nak kena explain.
That's y i cant stay online during early of the nite.,Sorry if i cant entrtain some of yr questions. Usually i'll be online 10-1030pm until midnite or in the morning.

As for today i wanna discuss common mistake on students study method.In this post My language will be sound a bit different coz..theres a special request 4 me to xplain in BM.
(Warning :Pls forgive me if the language in this post doesnt suit u )

Ok..Lets go straight to the discussion..usually while doing revision,most of the students have been focusing too much on physics calculation rather than understanding the whole concept.

Same case with my student..masa nilah nak tanya how to apply tis formula..this & that..Sir how to calculate this?..How they derive this formula lah? & bla..bla..bla..
Ok let me put it this way..physcis not only about calculation..I know its important to understand the formula but u must know the whole concept. Physics concept is produced through scientific investigation which involves the following stage:

i. Observation
-in SPM they always ask u to compare the observation between 2 diagram & etc. Practise a lot on this type of question. Tak percaya???? Pi beli buku Cerdik publication..& buat analisis sendiri Lepas tu telephone Cerdik manager, suruh dia bagi i commision sikit :)

ii. Experiment
what else can i say abt this..hey u shud go through each xperiment which a formula being derived from it. For example V=IR is arrived frm an electric xperiment.. so study this xperiment, understand the observation, discussion, & conclusion. Dont ask me V=IR is in which xperiment ..othrwise i pinjam tagline Nabil raja lawak which sound like this..
"LU carik sendiri lah beb" ..sorry bkn marah, gurau je :)

iii.Theory
for this one,,usuall theory arrived after an xperiment is concluded. That's why u have Ohm's law, Pressure Law,Charles'law ,Principle of Conservation of energy & byk lah lagi..bukak buku, cari semua xperiment & try relate the experiment with relevant physics theory.. Lagi satu kat sini lah jugak u kena tau pasal all the DEFINITION so pandai2 cari relevant physics theory lepas tu go & revise k..takkan saya nak list kan semua?

iv.further investigation/modification
Ha this one a bit critical..kat sini lah selalunya soalan suruh u modify something..especially in essay type of question. Again go through 'Mr Cerdik' carik soalan2 mcm ni. Selalunya soalan jenis ni lah student selalu kantoi. Kenapa yek?? Jawabnya sebab u all suka sgt main calculator :) To improve on this part, please baca bahagian physics application, i'll xplain this later. Soalan cam ni kalau u 'flop',mmg sayang 'giler',kenapa..sbb 1 soalan essay ada 20 markah. U kena jawab 2 soalan, kalau both essay u 'flop' u dah hilang almost 40 marks..wow! Byk tu! Tapi apa nak buat, most of u are so generous.. suka bagi sedekah ;) Thus please choose the right question when u do section B & C.

v. Application
Ha ni lagi satu killer question..dlm SPM byk ditanya dekat section B & C in paper 2. Or in other words, some tough application question will always come out in essay. Hows the question loooks like? Ok nak tau jawapan dia .. pergi 'kotorkan' buku CERDIk dan buku latihan u all yg masih cantik, suci, bersih lagi terpelihara itu.. :) .. to tackle this application part..u must read all the application section of each chapter. For example in LENS..u must read abt the microscope, telescope..dan skop2 yg lain. Tapi INGAT! Jgn setakat baca,..FAHAMKAN dulu..fahammmm???Kalau tak faham jangan buat-buat faham, tanya lah cikgu,tutor,kawan ke.. Lepas tu baru memorize..F A A H A A M?? One more thing,In yr txtbook or reference book, dont take 4 granted the diagram, activities, cartoon tips, visual explainations & etc. Kalau tak percaya bukak buku teks F5, pasal wave diffraction..kat tepi sebelah kanan ada citer semut & pijat. Ha jgn ingat tu tak penting..Kat situ ada hidden message yg boleh kita apply dlm soalan yg mcmbunyi dia mcm ni: Where & how to build a retaining wall on the ocean in order to build a safer beach resort?

As a conclusion of what i've been 'membebel' in this post are:

• Jangan asyik nak main ' calculator' ..rasa nak tegelak tgk some student picit calculator dua2 tangan mcm nak main game playstation la pulak. Tapi mana i boleh gelak, kang dia report mak dia, silap2 masuk lagi blog ni dlm newspaper hhuhu :)

• Siapa yg belum ada buku SPM pass year collection by CERDIK publication, go & grab one. Pastu jangan lupa call dia punya General Manager, suruh bagi commission sikit kat physics4spm.com punya owner :)

• last but not least..Please correct your study method b4 its too late. I really want u guys to get an excellent result 4 your physics. Lets work smart & pray hard ..
  

To prove what i've been saying is not just 'merapuing' ..try this essay question below.
Can u find any calculation involved???

Again b4 i end this post, please forgive me if my language used gonna irritate some of u. I'm doing this just to xpress the message in a casual way.
Till we meet in the next post, bye. (dont forget to click the question below)
