Question

Arggh in two days!

But I already live in a box :(
Okay I'll study, bloody uni :@

Answer 1

Okay, Pandora...we've got a short period of time before it's show time. Physics is a bear, there's no doubt about it, but put into perspective, it's heavily algebraic and as such, it's logically consistent. I favor the "worst first" approach to most tasks I find unappealing; that is, whatever I like to do the least, I'll do that first. That way, the experience gets progressively more pleasant as I go along. That's tactical motivation.And, memorizing vast amounts of formulas isn't as daunting a task as it seems at first when you remember the algebraic basis of this discipline...if you can remember the order of operation for solving the particular unknown, the inverse of that operation is a good method for checking your work whenever you may get stuck (which means there's less to actually "remember" than you might at first think). Again, more tactical motivation. Lastly, keep your eyes on the prize! Remember what it is you're ultimately trying to accomplish...this is just one link in a chain that leads to your success, but it's a link you have to negotiate to move forward. Break the material down into two manageable units ( manageable being a relative term in view of the fact that you only have two days left), then study only the material within that unit, and on its prescribed day. Study successfully by making your study environment free from distractions, well lit, and reasonably comfortable. When you finish a chapter, take a brief break and reward yourself with a treat of some sort that is meaningful to you, then move on to the next chapter. When you're done for the day,put it away and don't think about it again. The next day, do the same thing in roughly the same way. That's strategic motivation; factoring "success" into the equation. Having procrastinated a bit, the material likely looks insurmountable to you right now. Realize we've all done it a time or two, and worrying about that now won't do you a bit of good; save that insight for next time. Just remember that even a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. You can do it, you just need to condition yourself to achieve optimal results. Good luck to you. Holla back with that "A" when you finish! Get 'er done!

Answer 2

If you don't, you'll fail the exam and you won't get into collage you won't graduate high school and you'll be working at McDonalds for the rest of your life making 2 bucks an hour. You will not have hot water or conditioner, you will not have heating or cooling in your "house" as you will live in a cardboard box unless you pass the exam!!!

Answer 3

The other option is back-breaking physical work for low pay. Working on the lines to get thru college is what kept my daughter focused on her goal. Study hard and think,"this, too shall pass!" Good luck. Please note that I thnk there is nothing wrong with good hard physical work, it is what I do,it is just that my back is giving out and I don't know how long I will be able to work.

Answer 4

Well that happens to me all the time... i get bored and i end up studying just half of the subject.My advice to you is study now and finish it. Create a goal for yourself. e.g I want to finish studying this exam today.If you finish early you can do anything you want later like surf the web. ya and one more thing... dont get close to the computer.

Answer 5

Now you have less time than that - study or fail -and make your parents unhappy - spend the rest of your life serving at a fast food place or worse Wal-Mart!@

Answer 6

Study hard or you'll be a failure and live a destitute life.
You will seek shelter in a cardboard box.
No one will love you.
You will be forced to sell pencils to those who learned physics and passed
I'll beat you if you fail! LOL

Answer 7

What a princess... You need to be motivated to study? Studying is not for the grades it's about opening up your horizons.

Answer 8

If you study for the next 2 days,you get kisses all over(-;

Answer 9

Do your physics exam or the cuddly ikkle fluffy wuffy kitten gets murdered!
