**I'm a CIE A Level Physics teacher and examiner (not marking this series) — AMA before Wednesday's 9702 Paper 5**

Seen a few posts about Paper 5 so thought I'd make myself useful before Wednesday.

I've marked plenty of these papers and know exactly where students lose marks. Happy to answer anything about:

- How the planning question is marked
- What examiners actually want to see
- Common mistakes that cost marks
- Hypothesis, method, control variables, results tables, conclusions
- How to structure your answer under time pressure

Not here to hint at Wednesday's paper (not marking this series). Just here to help you go in with a clearer head.

Also made a couple of free resources specifically for Paper 5 — a planning checklist and a log-linearisation trainer (genuinely one of the most misunderstood parts of the paper). Both at www.cieinsider.com

Ask away. 🙌

Got the 0625 Paper 5 stuff on there too if any of you have younger siblings sitting tomorrow. Good luck Wednesday.
