#2: Practice With Past Year Questions And State Trial Questions
After building a solid foundation with comprehensive notes, it's now time to truly check if what you have studied really stays with you.
We highly recommend you do lots of practice with SPM Physics past year questions and also state trial questions. In that way, you get to cultivate a sense of familiarity and confidence in attempting multiple types of questions before the actual SPM Physics paper.
You'll know exactly what to expect for definition questions, explanation questions, calculation questions and even long structured ones. Most importantly, you'll also know how to train yourself to complete all the questions for SPM Physics Paper 1 (1 hour and 15 minutes) and Paper 2 (2 hours and 30 minutes) respectively within the given time limit.
You can either get these questions at various local bookstores like Popular and MPH or download them for free from various SPM study blogs or even Facebook study groups.
Once you have completed the questions, be sure to review your answers and look through the marking scheme for the various sections to see if you are heading on the right track when you're presenting your final answers.

#4: Take Extra Physics Tutoring Lessons (Improve Your Weaker Topics)
Now that you have gathered sufficient physical books and also audiovisual resources for your self-revision, you might want to take a step further by attending private tutoring for Physics.
In fact, tutoring platforms are always a blooming sector in Malaysia due to high demands from students and parents.
It's absolutely fine to get personalised guidance and a flexible learning experience according to your preference and pace.
It would be great to have someone experienced directly point out what you have might have missed during your own self-study and also explain in detail when it comes to your weaker topics.
There are two ways to go about private tutoring. You can either opt for a home tutoring or online tutoring. Both tutorings offer you a one-to-one lesson plan where you will receive undivided attention according to your preferred schedule.
For example, if you only need extra guidance for your Form 4 Physics chapters, you can personally request tutorial lessons and answering techniques based on that particular topic. That way you can save lots of money and time as you don't have to follow a fixed and rigid tutoring learning structure like most big tuition centres.
At Superprof, you can get both. You will easily find a home Physics tutor or online Physics tutor that matches your preferred teaching methodology, teaching qualification, hourly rate and physical location. All you need to do is just head to the Superprof Malaysia homepage and start browsing the tutors' profiles.
Here are some Malaysian cities that you can start browsing from:
- Subang Jaya
- Seberang Perai
- Petaling Jaya
- Melaka
- Kuching
- Ipoh
- Johor Bahru
- Seremban and many more
If you are talking online tutoring, you won't be limited by any geographical restrictions. You simply need to choose based on the tutors' profiles.
Once you have decided to hire the Physics tutor, you can proceed to connect with the tutor via a Student Subscription Pass at only RM25. From there, you can then further discuss your first lesson and the subsequent payment methods.
Well, learning has never been so easy and convenient, right?
Check out the other topics that you'll master during your Form 5 Physics lessons.
#5: Exchange Notes And Ideas With Your Classmates And Friends
We have got one final learning resource for you! The above four mentioned points are mostly done on your own, based on your initiatives.
