I just don't understand how this tests our understanding more than knowledge based questions. God Edexcel get it right.. :mad:

I 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! :confused:

I found Paper 2 fine. Maybe it's just that Paper 1 was too long to be as boring as it was. :tongue:

This dude on youtube covers most of physics on video!
If you find reading hard, watching these is really useful!

Do you happen to have any notes for the parts of the Triple Award that aren't in the Double Award? e.g. transformers?

It means where we take both Paper 1 and Paper 2 for each science, so we end up with 3 full IGCSEs.

It wasn't as bad as paper 1 I agree, but I still found it brain-splittingly boring :frown:

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)

It'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.

Who hates the new style of these physics papers?! omg

I'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 :confused:

, what are they like/ how are they different?

Thanks :biggrin:
