    haha yeah, i hope so too does anyone remember if the multiple choice question about the field strength involved a positive test charge or a negative one?
    Think it was a positive one? What was the question again?

    some part of me wants to shoot myself for making such dumb mistakes.
    i went in really nervous and couldn't really choose the B questions properly because there was stuff i wanted to avoid. ended up trying 1, failed miserably and 2, and the same thing happend. in the end went with 3 and 4, but wasted a lot of time and had a full on panic attack. couldn't even read the questions right so i actually left out about 20 marks blank, and some of the stuff i wrote down is complete bull****.
    i really have no idea why i was predicted a 6. then again i wasn't half as bad during the mocks....
    paper 3 was really easy though. might just've been the options we were doing, i have a friend who did relativity and he said it was hard.

    I don't believe that if you fail in hl history, you won't get a diploma seeing as you're taking 7 subjects. Why is it that you're taking seven???? And specially with something like higher physics....and higher history. How did you find physics paper 2?
    ahh ok . ahaha i ended up taking econ sl in my second year coz my school offered it in m second year...my school is a little low on organisation :P

    paper two was alrigth. i thought the questions were actually pretty easy i mean all you had to know was some basic stuff but i dont think i did as well as i cud have coz my two years for IB physics were a mess, I kept having substitute teachrs because my actual teacher cudnt get a visa and all and then in my last year i had another teacher but it was his first time with the IB and we had only been able to cover 2 units in our first year so this teacher had to rush with everything

    oh gosh that sounds like such a mess. sorry to hear that you've had to go through that. i don't imagine i would've survived my HL subjects without a decent teacher. Hopefully your results won't be affected too much by this!

    Hey,
    Can someone please make a list of the topics on this exam paper? Like the the overall topic for each question (eg. SHM), then what it was asking (eg. find the period) for the TZ2 Physics HL paper?
    Thanks is advance,
    Glen Jr.
