    I've been looking through the past papers, and there seems to be a trend. With the exception of just one year, there are 3 questions in section A.
    Two of them are based on the required practicals (sometimes tenuously and sometimes directly).
    The third question (not always q3!) tends to be based on a completely unfamiliar practical.
    All 12 have been assessed, with required practicals 3, 8 and 12 having been assessed twice, and required practical 9 having been assessed 3 times (including the specimen paper).
    I'd be very surprised if required practical 9 came up a 4th time, and likewise I'd be surprised if required practical 11 (the hardest one, which came up for the first time just last year) comes up again.
    With this in mind, I'm predicting that the 2 questions based on required practicals this year will be based on required practicals 2 (interference effects) and 10 (top pan balance), both of which haven't been assessed since 2018 or earlier.
    What are your thoughts on this Lewis?

      @@lilselsna its not icl. If you cook that means you smash the exam, whereas if you are “not to be cooked” it doesn’t necessitate that you smashed the paper, rather that is only 1 possible outcome. The remaining possibility is if you didn’t smash the exam but you also didn’t flop the exam, so like an average performance.

    hey, i was just wondering if you recommend doing section A or B first? i’ve done all the past papers and have found myself smashing section B (which for me is turning points), but doing a lot worse in section A.
    i feel like maybe doing section B first will give me a confidence boost for section A, but at the same time i’ve been doing section A first in all the practice papers i’ve done, and it might be a bit of a risk doing something completely different in the actual exam (especially as i’ve literally ran out of past papers to test this strategy with).

    • @PhysicsOnline
      @PhysicsOnline  Місяць тому +5

      I’d do Section B first if that is what has given you more confidence. As long as you keep a strict eye on the time.

    Practical section is hopefully what'll carry me. I usually approach every question as if it's brand new anyway whereas I think most people have a sort of memory bank of ideas.
    But this helps me in paper 3 because basically every question is brand new anyway so I'm almost used to it.
