well its one of 4 midterms, for the class we get to drop the lowest one. the first test I took was like a 77 and I want that one to be the one that drops.<br><br>here are some sample probelms from last years test<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://physics.csusm.edu/202/Sample%20P ... <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>the solutions can be found here<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://physics.csusm.edu/202/Sample%20P ... <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>We are allowed to use 2 sheets of paper for a cheat sheet, and basically I suck at making cheat cheats, never had to in other classes I've taken... Anyways so my main question is what should I put on the cheat sheet?<br><br>I've got class soon (Physics) and today its really an informal study session... but I'd like your input. <p></p><i></i>

For me, a physics cheat-sheet simply consists of every possible formula you ought to know. Don't forget the trig formulas, too.<br><br>When I took my physics final in college, I was stumped by one particular problem. We were not allowed a cheat sheet. With a little over five minutes left (having worked all the other problems already) I began to furiously write down on a scrap sheet every formula I could think of containing any of the specified variables of the problem. (velocity, acceleration, work, force, etc). Eventually a couple of them clicked, and I was able to use them together to solve the problem. Put my pencil down just as the instructor called time. It was an exhilarating experience, like winning a very close tribes match. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>Those sample problems look like fun, but I've forgotten how to do most of that now. It's been fifteen years since I took that test. <p></p><i></i>
