OCR Physics A G484 Jan 2012 - The Newtonian World

I'm not sure if someone's beat me to it, but I was just wanted a place where we could discuss the exam.
So who is taking the exam in on 24th January 2012? How is your revision going? :smile:

I got an A at AS as well (I was failing all year so then I ended up having to nerd it out in the last week before the exam :p:). I find the content quite straightforward, but I have limited exam practice. :sad:

Do you mean there are 50 people you know taking this exam? Or have you literally "got" 50 students in a thread or something? :confused:

Yes that's the one, I've pretty much done all the questions in there. I need more practice.
Does anybody have the june 2011 paper? Really need it for revision ¬¬

Seriously? I can never do any of the textbook questions. I couldn't do them in the AS book either :frown:

Exam boards usually don't release it because schools use it for mocks. Try emailing your teacher for it, if you don't have an upcoming mock.

I already had a mock, but it was from the jan 2011 paper. I think it's becuase my teachers don't have a copy of the june 2011 paper.
Good luck!

We also did the jan 11 paper for our mock. But we're doing the june 11 paper for our second mock (after christmas)!

Speaking of which, MERRY CHRISTMAS!! :party:
