This first edition of this book is designed in hope that students using this book would have a better understanding of how their answers should be structured in order to obtain excellent marks at the
SEC level. Revision notes are included to guide students in case they have forgotten their theory, which makes it easier for them when using this book.
One of the major problems that students encounter when studying Physics is their inability to apply the principles learnt and structure their answers to obtain maximum marks. This book has step-by-step explanations to the answers to the questions along with a breakdown of how the marks will be awarded
In my experience as a student and a teacher, I have realised that students (including me) have the tendency to resort to their textbooks to ensure they are thinking along the correct path. This normally results in the wasting of valuable time that could be used in attempting the question and also makes students dependent on text books. As such, along with the answers, there are snippets of the most problematic theoretical areas so that students who are using this book will not be required to refer to their textbook to sift out what theory is applicable to a particular question.
The textboxes included in this book also guide students how to figure out the units for quantities and reminders and how to convert between units. Guidelines from Examiner's Reports are also incorporated in this book so that students have direct reference as to what are the core requirements of the examiners.
Students using this book should attempt the previous question papers beforehand and then check their answers using this book. This allows them to see their mistakes and correct them using the revision notes and solutions and also include any relevant information that was not included in their solutions. Students should try to attempt all the past papers for each solution given in this book to achieve their ultimate goal, which is the ability to think critically and logically to obtain excellent marks and be successful in Physics.
