PHYSICS, an interesting and provocative discipline, is the study of nature, and everyday phenomena. It aims to explain these phenomena in terms of the fundamental laws of the universe or the laws of nature.
Physics is the study of matter and energy and their relationship. It is described as the science of why things work. Physics is practically part of human life and it plays a significant role in enriching it.
 
            The following are 10 unique tips to get good grades in Physics:

1. ATTEND CLASSES REGULARLY
Bby attending classes regularly, you would achieve academic good performance as you would learn more, be updated with the daily lessons, and not miss any important assessment like the quizzes, activities, and exercises which are important in  your academic record.

2. TAKE NOTES AND LISTEN WELL TO THE TEACHER’S LECTURES
Equip yourself with needed materials like your notebook, laptop, ballpen, or pencil. Learn to organize your notes. Be attentive and always ready to jot down especially the summary or key concepts of the lessons.

3. READ AHEAD TO GET AHEAD.
The desire to read the books and lessons ahead of time would considerably help you. Remember that the early bird catches the worm and the first to buzzer wins the round.

4. GIVE YOUR BEST AND HAVE A FOCUS
Focus on your tasks of achieving your potentials to the fullest. “Get out of the box. Grab every opportunity for growth to avoid regrets. In pursuit of having good grades or excellent grades, be ready to face challenges and struggles. And don’t forget to anchor yourself to Him as a source of your fuel in order to achieve your dreams. Consider each day a blessing not a burden.” (motionmountain.net)

5. BE MOTIVATED ALL THE TIMES
Motivation is a key to attain success, so always stay positive. Motivated students consider that learning is fun and fruitful. Celebrate accomplishment no matter how small it is. This will serve as your positive reinforcement.

6. BE ORGANIZED AND SYSTEMATIC
Free yourself from clutters. By being relaxed and methodical, you could easily achieve your goals of having good grades, could easily focus on the tasks at hand, and would not scramble each time you needed to finish something.

7. BE RESPONSIBLE
Be responsible to discipline yourself, balance your time, and have the proper mental attitude. Try to think what may happen if you do well in your studies and contrast it to what may happen to you if you fail.

8. KEEP TRACK OF YOUR GRADES
Be conscious of how you perform in your exams. As a preparation for next exams, test yourself regularly by seeking difficult problems and exercises. Master your Math basic concepts. If possible, plan to study Physics as soon as after classes.

9. BE GUIDED BY YOUR GOALS
The qualities that make for good grades are character, aptitude, attitude toward work, knowledge, and perseverance. Ability may enable you to get to the top, but it takes character to keep you there. Be guided by your goal in your decisions. Success belongs to the most persevering.

10. MAINTAIN A HEALTHY BODY AND MIND
Have a nutritious breakfast before going to your class. Good meals allow students to properly focus on their studies resulting to good grades. Eating well offers long term health benefits, keeps energy level steady, and boosts immunity.

I believe that in order for the learners to develop interest especially in Science and Math subjects, the teachers should always emphasize as much as possible the importance and applicability of the subject itself in their daily activities in life. I hope that by following these simple approaches to get good grades in Physics, the students will have deeper appreciation of Physics.
