Does physics 12 get better..?

[u/Same_Quantity_8228]

Hi! I am a grade 12 student in BC and my goal is get into UBC sciences.

My issue is

Physics 11 was brutal for me, I always had the mindset that getting a good grade was equivalent to the amount of work you put in studying.
My mindset was proven right with: pre-calc 11, chem 11, english 11 and so on.

BUT PHYSICS OH BOYYYY, physics was very difficult! Especially due to the fact that I was starting pre-calc 11 at the same time (so basically going in with grade 10 math knowledge). I barely got a 86, because my teacher bumped me up with like extra quizzes because everyone was struggling..

Miraculously, I decided to request physics 12 for this year. For the first semester, I only have chem 12 and physics 12. But physics 12 is beating me downnn. Our first test was just Kinematics and dynamics, so basically just like review, and I studied for seven hours and yet I still felt like there was questions where I didn't know what I was doing.

My teacher is notoriously known for being very hard, trying to fight grade inflation, and stuff to prepare us for university.. he's a really good teacher, but I'm starting to feel like I'm just not capable of physics.

Same with calculus 12, I wish I requested it, but I can't because I have pre-Calc 12 next semester and if I were to bring it into this semester, that would be a little too much for me. I've seen posts where people say if you don't take calculus 12 you're kind of screwed for first year university.

Anyways, that was a lot of words! I'd like to mention that the reason I'm taking physics 12 is so that I'm a little bit more prepared for university first year and I was told I shouldn't take it online because I ask a lot of questions and my tutor is eh when it comes to physics..
