    Hopefully it will be except biology was worse than January I found! But June 2011 Physics was sooo easy. Hope it's straightforward like that not all this experimental ****. But sadly, the specification has changed a bit for next year's examination and our teachers said they will most likely be as experimental as January 2012 as they will follow the new specification style to be examined first in 2013. That's why you'll notice June 2011 was drastically different to January 2012. I have a specimen paper from the new specification (the same content but still the style we're going to get), shall i upload it here?



    I know it really annoys me about how literally 75% of the paper is experimental
    It'd be fab if you could post it! And yes he experimental side of the paper is ridiculous(!)

    2011 was easy because it was first examination. Our paper will be quite hard and unfortunately VERY experimental
    Ahhh, why! There was a question on jan 2012 about why someone's results were different or something like that and the answer seemed mind boggling to me..

    I just hate how they test experimental skills not actual theory, it's like -_- haha! I'll put the link to the specimen here.

    Do the specimen paper on here, scroll down. It's more like the paper we'll get rather than June 2011.

    I could try to post 2012 for others to use. Let me see if it allows the attachment.

    If someone could post some electromagnetism notes though I swear I shall be eternally indebted to you! I'm having trouble grasping it because we rushed it. I'm good at physics so it shouldn't be an issue, but if someone could help with the moving cool loudspeaker etc it'd be amazing
