Good luck to anyone who is preparing for exams! 🤓
Thanks
Love you tibee
Was the couch high enough for your hair or it touched the floor?
Thank you SO MUCH for writing "relevant" instead of "revelant."
I love the hoodie, kind of like the memes where the person in front has all the formulas on their back!
Physics questions are so fun! Unless you have to do them.
And then they become even more fun!
Gleb Ivanovsky yeah, they really can be a lot of fun when you know what you’re doing!
@@jquick85 Most things are fun when you know what you're doing :P
They're much more fun when you're not doing them in an exam.

I still remember my third year Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics exam...I got 35%. Second highest in the class!
I took an open book/open note/bring your favorite graduate student (last part is a joke) 3-hour-long final exam where the highest grade was a 47 for an electrical engineering class. The professor worked for NASA and would brag about being the inventor of Boolean Calculus. He would say with a thick southern accent, "When I worked for NASA I did research on finite state machines and Boolean Calculus.

@@smashing_data4292 was he a poor teacher though? if 47 was the highest score maybe there was an issue with the material not being communicated to the students effectively?
I got really cool marks in my physics exams.... absolute zero..
Good Stone Sour song
Great pun! I got it ,0 K
−273.15°C bro.... 👍
YOU mean SEA level K+5
That makes no sense, absolute zero means there is zero kinetic energy in a system. Using boltzmann relationship to temperature, gives you the true meaning of what is going on. What you are trying to say is you got 0% of the total problems correct. Not absolute zero, absolute zero implies an actual physical process. Yes, I am that guy, and yes I am a physics student.
Physics Girl, now you are taking the hardest biology test in real life. Hope you recover totally from long Covid and pass this biology test and never have to look back.
My best advice for exams:
After you understood a solution of a practice problem, go and EXPLAIN it to someone who does NOT understand the solution yet.
While you explain it, you will realize you didn’t understand the problem as much as you believed... And by the time your friend understands it by your explanation, you will be a pro in the topic.
Agreed, as an engineering student I thought I was a pretty good maths/physics student, but then i took on the role of what we refer to at my university as a “Maths Mentor” (essentially just a tutor anything maths or physics related for all uni students at the campus) when I realised I wasn’t quite as versed in some of the subjects as I thought I was.
That's Fynman's technique
This is where the group study came in handy for me. We'd read a practice question together and then start working through, out loud, how we'd tackle it. As soon as someone got stuck, someone else in the group would jump in with a suggestion. I think we all learned more from each other that way.
"you din't understood it if you can't explain it to a six year old"
is an Einstein quote I think so (sry for my bad english)
AGREE!!!
This really brings back many (bad) memories from Caltech! Wonderful to see the two of you together commiserating. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger.

As someone who actually took this precise class and test (8.012 in Fall '08), I can totally relate to your experience. I still remember the class fondly, especially the final project to design your own experiment, for which my team made a giant Foucault pendulum with pvc pipe and a bowling ball (which we clandestinely set up in 10-250).
P.S. I'm a huge fan of your channel!
It had been 26 years since college when I found a box of physics and math (calc, diff eq, linear algebra..) homework. The only thing I recognized was my handwriting.
Just wear that hoodie whenever you have to take a physics exam and you'll do okay through the power of osmosis.
Great video! Glad to see you two collabing, you make a great team.
I took 8.012 just over 45 years ago, and l look back on that as a turning point in my life as an engineer/physicist. I walked out of that class with a completely different way of looking at behavior and interactions and systems -- something that I've used over and over since then. Thank you, Toby and Dianna, for reminding me how painful (and yet, powerful) that class was!
I was a physics and math major in the slide rule days. In a physics class they passed back the tests, mine was a 35 (out of 100). I thought "i'm hosed".. However it turns out I was the highest score in the class. I certainly do not miss the tests. After a full career, I have to say none of the physics and math was directly used by me in business (in technology/software) but the reasoning that I learned was used every day.
We used to solve these problems while preparing for IIT JEE (JEE Advanced). These problems are very common in I.E. Irodov, however sometimes you can end up disappointed if you depend too much on this, because there are only 2-3 problems that are even distantly related to classical mechanics in the entire exam. Also, I liked how you could solve the same problems by applying conservation of energy and force analysis. Conservation of momentum was also a handy tool. You need to know when exactly is the energy conserved and when momentum is conserved. The quicker you figure it out, the faster you solve the problem.
Exam's best tips and tricks.
Don't discover the series "Firefly" 2 days before exams.
Firefly single handidly caused me to fail when I decided to binge all the episodes instead of study.

Wow😃😃😃 never thought you will Collab with each other. You both are my favourite RUclipsrs and I am so happy to see you both in a single frame.
Please do more such Collab in future also
Practice exams are great, but we were rarely given (can't actually remember a time) solutions. If you have a few of them, do 1 to see how the questions are normally asked, then give yourself a practice exam in exam conditions. This will really help solidify what content you know and don't know. You can also look through papers a think about how you would approach all of the questions before going back to try them. If you want to take it a step further, try to think like a lecturer and think about what questions you would put on the paper. Oh, and always read the entire exam the whole way through before starting. - Sincerely, PhD Candidate and Engineering Lecturer.
You always do great videos, this is one of my favorites.

When i took undergrad GR i made a 35 on the first exam and it was still curved to a B. Same thing happened in O Chem 2.
"Sucess is measured by the failure of others"

My professors always said that curving our grades 'only presented a false impression of your abilities'.
If you earned a 35 you got a 35 and dropped the course. There were lots of people taking relativistic electrodynamics and differential geometry for a second or third time.

In India we have to solve a very similar exam(JEE Advance) before going to college.
@@jibriel4918 JEE is a sensation in our nation, really it is more than an exam, its a qualification, once you say I have done engineering people's first question will be "Did you clear JEE Advance?" The acceptance rate is far less than 1% but still we manage some how!
In american highschools we got something called advanced placement. this exam kinda resembles some of the questions in the advance placement physics C mechanics exam.
@@drkInxgud IKR, same is in China and India. But I must say China is ahead of all nations in terms of solving complex problems at young age

Nevermind that lol...JEE Advance is still the hardest for me😂
M J As a student in the US I don’t this physics exam is that difficult. Anyone with knowledge from AP Physics C (Advanced HS physics) would do fine on this exam.
It looks like very easy 🤔
@@tsgoten yes that's JEE main. Look at the JEE advanced paper. It's easily questions from 2nd year engineering.

What a collab!
Update?
Lol masterful page turning. One should get bonus points for that. Also thank you for making all this palatable and understandable. I was actually a math whiz but hated it so much I intentionally botched my entry exams.
I took 8.012 on pass no record. Best decision ever! After getting something like 56 on an exam and not doing the semester project, I calculated my score and I had to get 40 something on the final to get a C. Thank god I passed.
Thanks for the collaboration Diana
I fell in love with the level of sincerity in this video..kudos!
Wow Tibees and physics girl together. I just love it
My lightbulb moment in my approach to exams (esp. math & physics) was to realise that the practise problems given throughout the course were designed to give you practice in the concepts the lecturer wanted you to know - so I would study by making sure I understood the practice & assignment problems, only then would I do the past exams for at least the last 2-3 years. The technique came through spectacularly in my last year of high school where there were two mid-terms (mid-year & trial HSC exams for Aussies in the 90's) before the final (HSC) exam. I correctly assumed that the trial HCS physics exam would not cover the material already tested in the mid-year exam and focussed my studies on the newer material *completely ignoring* the previously tested concepts - I killed the trial HSC - topped the class! There was also an electronics exam in fist year uni where my study notes completely matched up with the order & subject matter of the exam questions! This technique never failed me right through uni (pity it couldn't be applied to my HSC English exam though - failed that one!)
I find really useful "taking" previous years exams! I'm just starting my phisycs course (in Argentina) and videos like this are so great! Thanks for doing them. Some day I'll send Toby an exam so everyone can see how an exam is here in Argentina
This takes me back to my college days when my professors were competing on who gets to fail the most students.
Kinda funny that your sponsor was Kiwi Co. when you had Toby on XD
Please ,try solving JEE advance physics questions , they are just on another level.
She will find it very difficult.
It's still easier compared to the MIT paper that they took a look at
@@mayurshastri6137 if you see the first and the atwood machine question,they are quite easy and the second one is mere a definition .
I don't think ,you get that much privilege in JEE advance
I was so much waiting for this collab
Yes a cooperation with Toby! Love her channel.
Minus 5 on a maths exam?
Seems legit
You should try the Indian engineering entrance exams the joint entrance exam (JEE) advanced version
It has been almost 45 years since I earned my BS in Physics. I still broke into a cold sweat as you were talking about some of these exam questions.
My best tip for physics exams: extract any and all variables you can from the questions and *write them down* (if you see "from stationary", write "v(0)=0").
Then whenever you're stuck, go through the formulary and see if there are formulae where you have most of the symbols, so you can extract the remaining variables.
It's so easy to forget what you know about a problem if you only have it in running text.
Doing Physics problems requires a different way of thinking
I wish you guys released this before I took the AP Physics C exam 😭
your name and profile pic is awesome ... the megha monster ... live in india?
these are some awesome questions! I'd love to pass an exam like that.
I've had advanced physics course (for those who prepare for olympiads) in a school I attended in Russia -- there'd been quite a lot of problems like that that we've solved, also on solid body thermodynamics, magnetic flux and induction, relativistic movement etc. Was actually surprised that I didn't have it as hard trying to solve these problems as I expected! Thanks for putting this out on RUclips
My favorite physics test question by Dr. E. E. H. Shin was: Why isn't the Earth's orbit around the Sun quantized like the hydrogen atom?
Have you ever tried to wear that "physics hoodie" while doing some exam?
most ambitious crossover in history
Love your videos. Always amazed by how many cool people you get to meet and cool places you get to see. Awesome. One of my kids (who is working on a physics degree) is spending his summer developing questions like that for exams. I imagine him rubbing his hands and saying things like "bwa ha ha" when coming up with difficult problems :)
I hated taking physics exams, so why do I enjoy watching a video of people going over physics exams?
Knowing the principles and understanding the derivations as you read through them will not be enough.
You cannot really learn science without doing the homework. I learned that the hard way.
If you are going to make a living at it, you have to be able to do the calculations without error.
Man I understood like 20% of what they were talking about in this video but I am fascinated with physics and how things work so I still really enjoyed the video. Thanks for going over those crazy hard problems ladies!
The minute I saw the title, I knew who the collab was going to be with.

Your are the most amazing collab of the whole youtube 🔥
Best approach I found was Revise & Reduce then cram constantly, even down to the final walk to the desk I'd have record cards in front of me and I'd be saying key points to myself.
Once they say "you may begin" dump... Dump EVERY formula you've crammed into your head, dump it all! every last one onto the front page of your question paper.
Then use it as a reference to answer your exam questions. I found it much easier to focus during the exam when I didn't have to recall the formula to answer the question and would just look it up on the front page as required.
The other thing I found useful as well as the formula dump: sometimes I didn't bother remembering the formulas I knew I could derive, so in those first few minutes I would derive those.
Hey Diana, your jacket is looking cool, plz shre where can I buy it

Daymn if this is the most difficult exam of MIT then these kids gonna have a heart attack attempting a JEE advanced question!
exactly dude!..I was able to solve like 90% of the total questions they showed
Later subjects are more challenging but first semester mechanics is often seen as the 'hardest' because students are usually awful at preparing properly for tests at that time.
It's the wake up call for a lot of folks.
Good job highschool physics teacher, you taught me well enough to know what I'm doing for those questions! That looks like a fun one!

""Hey topper get out of my house and live as u want and just don't show u r face again""
You and your father both are Shi,
LMAO why do I remember getting VERY similar questions to a couple of those on my AP physics exam in high school 😅
My tip is to make your own cheat sheets with formulas and stuff like that. If you prepare them yourself for the test you are about to take, they will be the minimal size possible but better yet, you will remember most of the stuff you put there so you will not need to look on them!
And obviously you should review stuff after every lesson, not the night before the test, but I know the students have other priorities:)
