This guide will teach you a number of concepts and techniques to help you
ace your physics class with less overall work. We place a strong emphasis
on understanding concepts, not just memorizing formulas and example
problems. This is not only a better way to learn physics, but it is actually an
immensely more efficient way to learn physics, and will make the MCAT (or Time spent
SAT II or GRE, etc.) much easier as well, if that’s on your horizon. studying
