    I don't know how Edexcel expect us to use Excel in our free time for what, REVISION??!!! How the hell was I supposed to know that it meant x10 to the power of something?!

    What if I was a poor child who was homeless and had no computer? How would they expect me to know that? :rant:

    Were there are questions after the one about the three conservation laws? If so how many marks roughly were there? I've been so paranoid over the past few days about it.

    Yeah there was, it was talking about what were the 3 laws and how they related to the reaction you have to right before (6 marks)

    Great! I knew it! :mad:

    Do you remember how much they were worth by any chance?

    Thanks at least you've put my mind to rest (sort of).

    Altogether they where worth about 2 or 3 marks. If you missed i wouldn't worry, but 1 mark can be the difference between a grade boundary.

    Every mark counts, I missed out 1 mark and becuase of that I was 1 mark of a D (even though a D was terrible in my eyes)

    Hopefully I have an A/A* in physics

    Thats the thing with physics, you can really tell how you did. I thought i flopped unit 1 last year as left out some questions and i still got about 85%. Hopefully an A/A* in physics too.
