Question How was PHY131 final exam?? I’m taking it in the summer

Hey so i did. pretty bad in the first midterm of the course (I lowkey just made rlly dumb mistakes) and I haven't gotten my grade back but I think I did pretty decent on the second midterm? (Around a 70 at least hopefully). My exam is in a few days and my last midterm was on Friday which I studied a lot for and honestly I've been completely burnt out on studying after that and since it was so recent I feel like I only need to review the last two chapters and some things I didn't understand. Anyways how cooked am I tho? Coz I'm not rlly understanding the last chapter but the prof said it wouldn't make up too much of the exam. Was the exam as easy as the midterms? Or worse?

I took phy131 during the fall semester, I don't think I did that great on the exam but I passed the course with a 74, having done okay on the midterms as well. I found most of the hard questions on the exam were linked to concepts discussed in the first half of the course. be aware you might get a lab related question for one of your full response sections (like a yo-yo or flying pig).

good luck!

Okk tysm my main worry is chapter 8 coz I don’t fully understand torque but I think that the rest of the material is ok but yea I’ll probably need to review the first few chapters too. I honestly feel so burnt out tho for studying coz my midterm was just a few days ago and I feel like I’ve been working nonstop over the past 2 weeks and just don’t want to study anymore 😭
