    Absolutely ****ting bricks! I hate physics.
    Also, it's in the afternoon which I've never experience but we have double physics before it so i can brush up last minute...
    Lost so many marks on silly mistakes like forgetting units
    Lets hope it's easy, unlike biology

    I'm so worried about this exam.

    I totally haven't revised properly because I have been so worried about my Biology Unit 3 retake last week along with the Chemistry Unit 2 which my mind went blank in the empirical formula question -_-. I also forgot to print off some past papers last week, so I haven't been able to do any of them. xD

    Anyway, I'm just going through the specification notes, which are the best way I think to revise last minute. :P

    which line did you keep??
    It ended all the way at the top right corner. It wasn't a straight line it curved.

    The line went through the point which was linked with the first question on that page, and where the line finished was given in the question - you had to read it and analyse it.

    Who else wanted to cry when they saw the 3 mark question where you had to explain the path taken by the alpha particle?

    I got 9.6 too I think. Can you remember the figures you put into the calculator?
    Should refresh my brain.

    What was the answer for the catching question?
