    PHYA4 AQA Physics Unit 4 Jan 27th 2011
    Hi i was just wondering who is taking this exam, and how are you all finding the revision ?
    Personally it's hectic trying to have a firm understanding of everything and to grab 120/120 will be such a reward for all of this revision, hoping that no really hard questions come up.

    hmmm
    omg same jun2010 mark as me!
    which topics r u finding difficult..?
    ive revised circular motion, momentum, and find them pretty good
    done simple harmonic motion and i hope im alright with it...
    just about done grav and electric fields, and as long as the multiple choice qu arent too hard, i shud be ok...
    but MAGNETIC FIELDS...? urgh cannot do them to save my life....

    best of luck
