Physics 1B03 exam
Anyone know the format of the exam and how to effectively study for it? So far I'm reading the textbook and doing CAPA questions but i feel its not preparing me that well. Thanks!

It is 33 questions long and we have three hours to complete it. It emphasizes material not covered on the midterm.

best practice would be to do as many questions as you can. the textbook questions and examples can be very helpful. Also, any past midterms would be helpful. there were a lot of concept questions when I took it

When I wrote it in 2011, I went from an 11 to an 8 (which is my only single digit grade). Such is life, it was a hard course, IMO.

I thought it was better than the midterm but still really tricky. Does anyone know what happens with the class averages? Do they just stay in the 50s? The midterm was 54 and the exam sounds like it will be similar...

They really test you on the concepts, overall it was pretty tough but mostly doable like always, one tiny slipup will cost you a mark
