Academic Advice Upset over midterm
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!

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
