Grade boundaries comes out on the exam board website the day before results day. So exactly 2 weeks left to go!

By far the hardest unit 1 paper that I've seen, with a high grade boundary. Damn.

Use the link given below to download it:

The file size was larger than the maximum file size allowed on TSR hence i had to upload it on a file sharing site.
57/80 for an A is good? I admit it was a tough paper; very wordy, but it wasn't insane. Saying that, many top physicists in my year failed to complete the paper.

Good luck all!
Disgusted to get 98/120 but i am myself to blame for it as i started studying for it in the last 2-3 days.

Should i re-sit the paper in june?

I am aiming for an A* which i will achieve if i work hard on other units, but isn't dropping 22 marks in unit 1 too much? I only dropped 28marks out of 600 in chemistry last year so dropping 22 marks on one paper will have a very poor effect on my total marks.

Got 102/120 in the end, slightly dissapointing, but considering I ran out of time, and left the last question completely open, I couldn't really hope for much better.

I got 94/120 which is a B. Extremely disappointed, but my teacher says I shouldn't retake it because I won't need to get amazing marks in physics at work because I was 2 UMS from an A and that I will get an A in the next exam. I really NEED an A* prediction for uni application next year. :confused: What do you guys think? Should I retake?
really disappointed. got 70/120. i was expecting better but no one in my class got higher than a D.

I will advice you to retake. I am in a similar position as you, i got 98/120 in unit 1 which i am disgusted about. However, i only prepared in the last 2-3 days. Will probably be retaking it in june.

You have dropped 26 marks at unit 1 which isn't good for an A* student. I got an A* in chemistry last year and dropped only 28marks out of 600, and all papers were first attempts. So dropping 22 marks in one paper is extremely disappointing for me.

If you think you can get an A* than repeat it, unit 1 doesn't requires much preparation and getting A* in A2 units and doing poorly at AS doesn't looks good.

Good luck :smile:
