Hey, I'm an undergrad. at University of Leeds studying Physics (MPhys. - year 1 of 4). I've learnt more about thermodynamics, special relativity, solid state, optics and mechanics whilst I've been here. I have been tutored so I do understand how the gears should turn.

The main thing with physics is that it takes practice. That means lots of questions, it's the only way to get used to the sort of questions that you will get asked in exams. Though not always fun, over time, they will increase confidence in question answering. Theory is also vitally important and I like to try and find ways to decompose theories or ideas into smaller, more manageable pieces. Ultimately, questions can't be answered without theory so once that has been covered, then we can move over to question practice.
I've had a long time to develop my learning in physics and how I like to arrange studying, but you shouldn't worry if you don't have a definite study method defined yet. Part of learning in school is learning how to revise and finding what works for you.
Physics is a subject that should be fun and I hope I can make that a reality.
