I agree. The papers are somewhat tougher than five years ago and MUCH tougher than the pre-2015 syllabus. Didn't the government give a steer to the exam boards after COVID suggesting that they wanted to reduce grade inflation? Perhaps that's why they've gone that way.
Haha Yes! I completely agree with you the Edexcel board has the best questions and the experiments are always interesting. I'm happy I take the Edexcel Board
I say this a lot about aqa physics after sitting the 2024 papers for my final exams: I don't understand how they can make questions so hard that getting lucky on MCQS can be the difference between a D and a fail. I somehow got AAA in A-Levels, I was fully mentally prepared to get a D after sitting the papers I even remember your livestream titled "you are all cooked" from the night before paper 2, I knew it was over then 😂

if even a teacher cant do a question on an A-level paper you know its hard
It's the time that's the issue. I feel time should not be a factor, it should be the subject.
EVERYONE! FREEZE! I'VE PLAYED THESE GAMES BEFORE
I find it so easy to drop marks in simple 3 mark "explain questions' they're always so specific 😭😭
Some of the MCQs have so many tricks in them! Even if you understand the physics, it's so easy to be caught out by the question wording

love to see that someone i watch watches another person i watch :D
(And I checked with him before I released this video - great teacher)
Loved being referred to in this video, great analysis too! Thank you @PhysicsOnline !

bicen maths is so based
If you can't do a question... then find other questions you can't do, and learn how to do them! Build resilience!
What if there’s always a question you can’t do?
I do think the aqa papers might be easier this year because the exam board is going to try and compensate for last year
Assume they will be just as hard, as people had the same thought process as you after the 2023 paper, and they got cooked.
@ayoa6421yes
@ayoa6421 100%
have you got a revison plan for year 13s
Yep. Start tomorrow. 1 hour of physics questions every day. Sorted!
Where are they?
I wonder what this data would look like for CAIE exam board.
After doing many past papers, what topics do you personally think come up the most for OCR A?
bicen maths ahhhh vid
oh wait nvm js saw it was inspired by him lmao
😮
