Hey everyone,
I have a Physics Mod 5 practical coming up in year 12 maybe like 5-6 weeks. I was wondering on how to best prepare for these kinds of tests or if there is content I should know really well, like projectile or circular motion. My teacher who made the test is notorious for making 'creative' tests, so I'm kind of worried. I would really appreciate any tips on how to study or anything.

Thanks in advance,
Physics student

i have a tough teacher who assesses our prac tasks very harshly, and what we'd do is get a subtopic to investigate (in our case projectile motion), and we'd to a really long and detailed background info and aim/hypothesis to hand in, and then on the day we'd get to see the equipment when the exam starts, so you need to write a method on the spot, do the experiment and collect results, and write a report. if this sounds like your teacher then id recommend putting a lot of practice into writing scientific reports, and know how to assess accuracy, reliability and validity. know all the niche rules about graphing and tabulating results, have a rough method in mind, remember to do trials, and pre-empt some improvements/errors to discuss on the experiment, and finally prepare a conclusion. id recommend reading teacher feedback for previous assessments or asking for past exemplars to know how your teacher likes the scientific reports written

Is there a possibility they could give you the method and then talk about improving the method and deriving certain formula or relationships. I asked a year 12, they did a pendulum one where they were given the method so if they do give us a method how would I prepare? Also do I need to know like precision and internal reliability or is it overkill? thank you
