All up to 2014 were pretty easy but 2015 was hard (for me), so it'll probably be a bit difficult again this year:redface:

1. Frequency
2. Spread out
3. Equal to
4. 340m/s
5. Echoes

Wrong order but correct answers.

It was 78 degrees btw.

From what I can remember fins for surface area and black surface for better absorbtion. Ask if you are unsure on any answer?

On the 340 m/s was the m/s already on as the units?

same, do you do triple (so did you do all 3 - P1, P2, P3?). P3 was horrific but P2 was manageable I thought, but still hard. Can't really remember P1 tbh.

Yeah I did P1, P2 and P3 but messed up my P2 and P3 😭 I feel so bad!! Btw, what do you think the grade boundaries will be like for physics this year ??

Honestly I really don't know! I didn't do many past papers for Physics so I don't think I know enough about the paper to accurately predict the grade boundaries. I left everything WAYYYYY too late. I had to learn the whole of P2 and P3 the day before LOL. Judging by Twitter, P2 will be lower, and P3 I found really hard, but others found easier so I'm praying for lower on that. I could've actually gotten in the 20s for that no joke:biggrin:

The only reason I'm not worried about Physics is because I'm not doing it next year, and I generally don't care for it that much. Biology on the other hand... omg I feel sick just thinking about my Biology result.

Speaking of grade boundaries I've made this document with all the grade boundaries that apply to me from last year, and the day before results day I'll update it with the grade boundaries this year so I can compare between the years (I'm weird and extra like that lol)
