Make Your Own SUVAT Questions: Shortcut to IP Physics Confidence

Q: What does Make Your Own SUVAT Questions: Shortcut to IP Physics Confidence cover?
A: A proven way for IP students in Singapore to nail kinematics-by playing with the numbers, not cramming formulas.

“You smash past papers, but the moment the numbers change, panic hits.”
Good grades come from spotting patterns, not copy-pasting answers-and pattern-spotting grows fastest when you create your own twists.

The Quiet Worry in IP Homes

You top class quizzes, yet every fresh kinematics problem feels alien.

Time ticks, nerves spike, formulas fog up.

Practice papers pump answers into memory, but you rarely train yourself to see what stays the same when everything else changes.

My Odd Little Habit That Paid Off Big

Back in Sec 3 I used to mess with questions for fun:

• Reverse the acceleration sign
• Halve the time
• Throw the ball backwards first

I was really asking, “Which parts actually matter?”

That game forced me to hunt the hidden rules behind SUVAT.

Years later, researchers gave fancy names to the trick-Variation Theory, Desirable Difficulties, Generative Learning-but the core idea is simple: tinker → guess → check.
