How do I study because right now I'm failing
During my previous years of school I never was a person that needed to study. I could get low to mid A's with minimal effort so I never bothered to look at material outside of school. Now, about a month ago I started the IB program (if not familiar it's basically a full course load of 2 year long AP level classes) and it has not been going well. Specifically my HL physics where I got a 32% on my first test, and have not been able to solve a single HW question since.
I've tried to study before but all I've managed to do is read the textbook which hasn't helped. I am a person who asks lots of questions in class and I struggle to do practice problems and read the textbook because I want to ask clarifying questions. I've tried googling my questions, but it honestly does not help.
So, I am mostly asking for questions on how to study for physics. But tips for other subjects including foreign language are greatly appreciated. Thank you!
