    OCR B Advancing Physics Revision Notes for G495
    I'm not sure how many people do this spec, I don't see it mentioned too much on here but nevertheless here are my notes on 3/4 of the topics on the June exam (G495). Hopefully they'll be of use to at least one person. Enjoy!

    I used a combination of my class notes, the textbook and this IOP teacher's website which has loads of useful questions on each topic.

    Cheers! I'm beginning to revise it now as we finished it in class recently. Did a mock w/o revising and got 40/66 (Old Spec/removing QWC marks) which was good for not revising.

    I don't suppose you also have notes for the other A2 module?

    Not sure what you mean If you mean Section C (the pre release article) I might do some for those this week.

    I mean the earlier chapters - for the rise and fall of the clockwork universe paper.

    Could you PLEASE upload some notes on the advanced notice article. Anything you have would be useful.

    Thanks

    My teacher's put together some questions that could possibly come up, they seem way too difficult though in my opinion. I've attached the questions and answers anyway.

    Has anyone made any notes to help break down the main parts of the article???

    Re: OCR B Advancing Physics Revision Notes for G495
    We've gone through the advance notice article and one of the main points my teacher made was that the final exam usually has to cover topics from the whole course. This means that they may need to include some bits about youngs modulus and stress etc. Earthquakes would be a brilliant way to bring this up, so it might be handy to have a look at your notes from last year and refresh your knowledge on that topic. That wont be all the questions they ask you about of course. To the OP I want to say a MASSIVE thank you! I started making notes like these but never quite had the motivation to continue, but these look nice and useful

    Unfortunately not, I just sort of winged it with G494 so I never took the time to make any notes. Sorry.
