Good advice from exchemist +1.

One thing I am not clear about.

What is year 9 in the Philipines ?

Wikipedia says you talk of grade 9 not year 9 and there are some differences in different countries.

So the UK year 9 is equivalent to the Us grade 8.

Here is a useful converter table.

This is quite important as year 10 in the UK can be the year of the first important career exams.

year 10 in the uk might also be grade 10 here
because in grade 10, that's a year before senior high (grade 11 & 12, where you pick you course n stuff like STEM, ABM, etc)

if that's the case, then year 9 is the same as grade 9 (maybe)

Ask your teachers. They should know the topics on which you are strong and those on which you are weak. Also, with a mathematical subject like physics, it is worth getting some practice at solving problems. If you are like my son, you may understand the topics and know the equations but not be very good at answering problems involving unfamiliar scenarios, or requiring multiple steps. A bit of practice can give you more confidence. 

Avoid a scattergun approach. Decide on a small handful of things to work on and do those, until you feel you have made tangible progress. Good luck. 

 

 

I meant, in more of a "self study" kinda way
our teachers here aren't the kind of teachers you could talk one-on-one to.
the teacher's "motive" I guess is that you're there to teach, and nothing else
which is kind of sad, in all honesty

I am Grade 9 right now, and I felt that I might be forgetting a few things

since it's lockdown, and our school came from 5 schooldays to 2 call days and 2 homework days (friday is free :D)
so I decided to use my time to study.
thing is, what should I study?
where do I start in relearning things?

thanks!
