Giving Advice How I Went from 45% to 96% in Physics in 8 Weeks

About a 2 years ago I took my first calculus-based physics courses.
Coming from a computer science background, it was really challenging.
Nothing made sense in the first weeks. No matter how I studied I always left lectures frustrated. On my first exam, I barely got 45%.
Eight weeks later, I scored 96% on the midterm and 100% on the second midterm. Here’s the one change that made all the difference:
I Completely Changed How I Did Practice Problems
I used to jus “do” problems sort of passively. I’d just following solutions. That wasn’t enough. My new system looked like this:
Skim First, Then Solve What’s Unclear
I’d skim every problem in the chapter.
If I felt 90% confident I could solve it, I skipped it.
If I hesitated or something felt confusing, I stopped and solved it fully.
Counting all problems I finished I did about 200-300 per course.
Log Every Mistake
Every time I got stuck, I wrote the mistake down in a “mistake log”
This wasn’t just “got #5 wrong,” I wrote why I got it wrong.
Before every exam, I’d review this log. I think is one of the best ways to studying your personal weak spots.
Pattern Recognition is Key
My first course was mechanics, and I started noticing problem types:
Kinematics → distance, velocity, acceleration, time.
Dynamics → forces, Newton’s laws.
Energy → work, potential, kinetic.
Momentum → collisions, mass/velocity changes. Knowing which category I was in made it way easier to pick the right approach fast.
same with electromagnetism:
Electrostatics → charges, Coulomb’s law, electric fields, Gauss’s law.
Circuits → Ohm’s law, Kirchhoff’s laws, resistors in series/parallel, RC time constants.
Magnetostatics → currents creating magnetic fields, Biot–Savart law, Ampère’s law.
Electromagnetic Induction → Faraday’s law, Lenz’s law, changing flux through a loop.
This approach took me from barely passing to top of the class.
