Re: iGCSE EDEXCEL PHYSICS DISCUSSION 2012yeah this is the new specimen i was on about. i did it the other day and literally all of them were like Jan 2012(Original post by Graceyfave)
Brilliant! thank you! Never seen these before so a big big help. Lots of beautiful experimentation questions I see..

Re: iGCSE EDEXCEL PHYSICS DISCUSSION 2012I just don't understand how this tests our understanding more than knowledge based questions. God Edexcel get it right..(Original post by sahajkaur)

Re: iGCSE EDEXCEL PHYSICS DISCUSSION 2012I really quite liked the papers from the 2003 specification, they were relevant and tested some physics knowledge. I swear people who don't even do physics for GCSEs could do these papers!(Original post by Graceyfave)

Re: iGCSE EDEXCEL PHYSICS DISCUSSION 2012I found Paper 2 fine. Maybe it's just that Paper 1 was too long to be as boring as it was.(Original post by sahajkaur)

Re: iGCSE EDEXCEL PHYSICS DISCUSSION 2012This dude on youtube covers most of physics on video!
If you find reading hard, watching these is really useful!

Re: iGCSE EDEXCEL PHYSICS DISCUSSION 2012Do you happen to have any notes for the parts of the Triple Award that aren't in the Double Award? e.g. transformers?(Original post by nithpriya)

Re: iGCSE EDEXCEL PHYSICS DISCUSSION 2012It means where we take both Paper 1 and Paper 2 for each science, so we end up with 3 full IGCSEs.(Original post by nithpriya)
sry but i have never heard of the triple award -

Re: iGCSE EDEXCEL PHYSICS DISCUSSION 2012It wasn't as bad as paper 1 I agree, but I still found it brain-splittingly boring(Original post by Big-Daddy)

Re: iGCSE EDEXCEL PHYSICS DISCUSSION 2012It's because sweating will cause the body to cool down due to heat of latent evaporation but the blanket will retain the body heat due to air being a good insulator which is trapped between the body and the blanket.(Original post by nithpriya)
CAn anyone help me with practical situations in physics?
example when a person sweats why he has to wear a blanket(i think hes dumb, I'd rather sleep with A/C on)Last edited by member963009; 18-05-2012 at 17:28. -

Re: iGCSE EDEXCEL PHYSICS DISCUSSION 2012I've only done a few of the older papers (2009 etc) as practice, but I really want to get an A* in Physics, and we haven't been told anything about the newer papers(Original post by sahajkaur)
Who hates the new style of these physics papers?! omg, what are they like/ how are they different?
Thanks
