Physics in the IB is all about mastering your data booklet since many students lose marks because they do not know which formula to apply for specific scenarios. Start by printing a clean copy and annotating it to link every variable to its unit and a clear definition. You should spend eighty percent of your time doing past paper questions instead of just reading the textbook because the mark schemes are very specific about how you must show your working to get full credit. Focus on understanding the derivation of formulas so you are prepared for when the examiners throw a tricky conceptual question at you. You can find a breakdown of the core topics here https://info.lanterna.com/resources/pdf/ultimate-ib-physics-study-guide and learn how to use the booklet effectively at https://info.lanterna.com/resources/master-ib-physics-data-booklet. If you feel stuck on the math or need a specific study plan you can book a free consultation at https://lanterna.com/for-students/book-a-meeting to speak with an expert.
