    Looking for advice on getting A* in Physics (Edexcel)
    I got my results from January Unit 4 Physics and was disapppointed.

    I know I've done a lot of effort for that and still didn't get an A*.

    That paper had few calculations and was mainly about having good understanding
    of the principles and knowing how they are applied (How Science Works).

    I know I should add focus and attention on these weak points, but I was hoping those
    who actually got an A* could give me advice on how to have a higher chance of achieving
    that grade.

    Thanks

    Do some CIE Physics papers. If you can do those, you can do anything
