I just did my AQA a level physics paper 1 😭 and some of the questions weren’t that good but all together it wasn’t too bad. The electricity one was horrible and the 4 marker on tensions I couldn’t even do but the rest were good especially the mc questions weren’t really good.
How did you guys do what did you think of the paper 😭🙏
What do you think you’ll get because I need at least an A
now THAT was a good paper.
I did a scale drawing and ended up with 670N for T2 and 52 degrees for the angle but cos i did it with scale drawing method idk if ill get marks. wdyu guys think
How did you find in. Can anyone remember how many parts question 6 had after showing refractive index was greater than 1.50 or was it the last part of the question
Phy has always been a hard subject since the start of a levels. Idek y I took it. I haven't done any last papers or revised anything. I'm studying particle phy for the first time rn. Genuinely cooked. IDK WHAT TO DO. I'M JS GONNA HAVE A LOOK AT THE FORMULA SHEET AND THE DEFINITIONS AND LAWS. SO I CAN AT LEAST GET THE 1 OR 2 MARKER QUESTIONS RIGHT 💔💔💔
(SEND HELP)
IF ANYONE HAS A GOOD FORMULA SHEET, PLS SEND
For q2, am I supposed to do dots or crosses for the plotting?
I've always done crosses but the marking scheme says the diameter of points should be less than half a small square, so does that mean supposed to be dots?
Also how are y'all feeling about the paper
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. 🙌
If someone has a list of derivations to remember PLS PLS PLS send
I have a question regarding the absolute uncertainty of my gradient. Should i take 2 or 3 significant figures? The uncertainty in the table was 2 significant figures so should i just follow that or does it depend on the significant figures of my gradient?
I made this so we can share any last minute tips, resources and predicted pps, please share anything you have specifically for p21!
9702 paper 22 send simple and short notes please😔
my phy p2 exam is in less than 24hrs and i am still getting 45-49/60 how can i improve?? ,ik the concepts very well but i keep doing silly mistakes and smtimes find myself misreading/misunderstanding questions. i really wanna aim for 53++ since i am not good at p1 mcqs .however my lab went pretty good so not worried abt that hopefully.
well i dont have a problem with the chapters themselves(except electricity fk that shi), i'm just struggling with exercises that have angles in them they're tricky to say the least for me and i would love some advice to deal with them.
I actually bought University Physics by Young and Freedman some days ago... Actually I'm aiming for Olympiad + JEE Advanced (engineering entrance exam based in India if you guys know)... But my main focus is in physics research(17 btw)...
I have seen the problems in university physics but that are not that much relevant to that examination or olympiad level but it covers almost every inch of theory that we all need.. I'm currently at mechanics now and I have heard my classmates saying mechanics is gonna ruin your life forever etc etc..
Now I have mainly 3 physics books, one is university physics, hc verma's concepts of physics, and some modules of my coaching institutes but I don't solve them that much... I just solve the daily sheets of my teacher ..
What more should I solve for physics (average student here just started physics )? There are so many books n the market and I wanna build my practice from 0 to hero.
please suggest me some books that are really helpful in this scenario
Also, I have calculus by stewart is that good enough for Olympiad? I don't have any subjective algebra or trigonometry books... Many teachers have suggested me to buy cengage algebra and trigonometry by g tewani, and for calculus problems follow arihant amit m aggarwal..
what should I do please help me I'm very confused
**my chemistry is getting shitty too😭
know nothing about physics p5 and have 2 days to prepare. What should I know? What should I do?
Built a revision tool for A Level Physics Paper 5 — covers linearisation (Q2), limitations & improvements, and planning & analysis. All based on what actually loses marks according to CIE examiner reports.

Got the 0625 Paper 5 stuff on there too if any of you have younger siblings sitting tomorrow. Good luck Wednesday.
Hi, I’ll take my p5 this wednesday and I don’t know how to study whether I should go over the past papers or watch videos, I’m a private candidate and no one has ever thought me how to write an experiment. Do you have any recommendations?
