'Don't' do these stuff

Time is ticking faster..every weekend become the most precious day for SPM candidates to do extra revision. Soon..the blessing month of ramadhan will be coming..for muslim u'll be having extra time to study coz your breakfast & lunch time can be used to study instead of sleeping :)

Its time to do  both..i.e study hard & study smart. Talking about studying smart, i wrote this article last year. May be its good to refresh  about things to avoid while revising physics.

Here are some 10 tips on that u should'nt do while studying physics. :

1. DON'T simply memorize the physics' facts without understand the whole concept.

2. DON'T postpone to seek explaination on any concept that u do not understand. Go & seek your teacher's explaination during & after the class. Otherwise find a tutor or good friends that can help you to solve these problems.

3.DON'T simply revise without doing any exersice. U need to practise what u've read.

4.DON'T rely on just one reference book to study for your SPM. U should also refer to your text book, teachers' notes or other reliable sources through the net.

5. DON'T revise without knowing the objective or learning outcome of each subtopic. U must know what is the purpose of studying that particular sub-topic. Refer the learning outcome in your text book.

6. DON'T simply study without knowing how to relate each concept into its real life application. Please refer the application section for each subtopic.

7.DON'T simply look at the model answer without trying the questions.

8. DON'T say that u've completed revising physics's formulae,LAW & Principle until u've enabled to design their experiment.

9. DON'T study a subtopic without knowing how to relate it to other subtopics. For example while studying Pressure, u must relate certain concept about Pressure in what u've learned in chapter 2, i.e Forces & motion.

10. Finally..DON'T hate physics. If u hate it.. u are adding more pressure on yourself. Just enjoy studying it and try to fall in love with this lovely subject :)

For my form 4 students, if u apply all these tips from now on, inshaAllah u wont have much problem in your 2011 SPM.
Good luck & all the best!
