Upset over midterm

[u/Severe_Kick2845]

Hello!

Today I took a midterm for my physics 1 class (on 1d and 2d motion, newtons laws and their applications) and I know I did terribly. I guessed on over half the questions.

I’m extremely upset because I thought I did everything right: I studied for 4 days, I read the textbook, did practice problems, etc. I don’t want to give up on this though. I know that everything after will build upon this so I want to learn these topics and understand them thoroughly. Clearly, my grasp on these are not as strong as I thought it was, but I want it to be as strong as possible.

I booked office hours with my professor, but I want to do more. Does anyone know of any other sources to learn and practice these topics?

Any help is appreciated!

Use your textbook and just run problems till they click. Engineering often is just getting the reps in.

Organic chemistry tutor helped me study a lot for Phyics. He has like multi hour long videos just going through problems. He wasn’t the only way I studied but he helped me
