I’m a first year physics major at a top 5 program. I have my final in 3 days. I’m not concerned about it because my professor has given us the questions in the final. I am worried that I feel like I barely know the material, like I can barely even do AP Physics problems. Is this normal?

What the title says. I’m super worried - it’s been my dream to study physics but I’m concerned that I might not be cut out for it. While reviewing for the final, I’ve found myself having to refer to the answer key for help in solving problems nearly every time. Is this normal?
