Solving a physics Problem at school/college

I was talking to Moina(my sister) today. She was telling she had been facing problems while solving the physics/chemistry problems.Though she thinks everything is going all right__She is studying regularly, understanding the lessons etc. , yet while she opens up a question paper, she is not able to solve. This is a common problem for many students. Though I did not face this much in my study days, I have been trying to get some clue for this problem since today morning. I think if she starts the problem in some methodical way,  she will be able to find out the root cause of her problem. To make a process for attacking a problem, I have derived the following five steps of 'attacking a problem'. If some one executes the following five steps one by one after reading a problem, he/she will be able to find out where the problem lies(May not help him/her to solve the problem). Here are the clue fives:


1. First make out in which chapter the problem belongs to.

2. Bring to your mind all the concepts, formulas of that chapter.

3. See what are the given things in the problem.

4. Understand what we need to find out.

5. Now co-relate points 1&2 with 3&4 to find out the solution.


I have asked my sister to follow this.

All the best, Moina !!
