    for aqa - If a question asks you to 'show that' a value is about something for a particular part. Say the answer is actually 10.1..... N but it says 'show that it is about 10N'. for the next part of the question, if you are required to use the value - do you use the exact value or the one they asked you to show?

    Only tips I would give would be to do the hardest questions & 6 markers first since your brain is 100% at the start of the exam, where as it just wants to die by the end of the exam ^^

      DynestiGTI If you do AQA, then your teachers are 100% wrong. Always use the exact (not rounded) value in all steps. The one time you should round your answer is the end. I have done past paper questions and the mark scheme doesn’t show to accept a range. The mark scheme only shows the exact answer for AQA.

    • @PhysicsOnline

If you have the time also it is useful to just compare the values you have written for the calculation to the ones the question has provided because it is also easy to make written mistakes that will similarly lead to the answer being wrong
