    Thanks a milli, I want to go into Med but for some confounded reason I want to finish my A levels with a decent grade in Physics too. Even though I can't remember most of what I wrote at least now I know that subtraction was in order for the last question and that's the part I was unsure about.

    Thanks a lot for the uploads.
    Do you know if there's any way we could find the official mark schemes for other subjects too?
    Thanks in advance!

    Got 120, even though I TOTALLY messed up the circuit questions. It was a great surprise, considering I was predicted a B after my terrible performance in my first exam. Still not going to take it next year though, that's how set I am on dropping it .

    i'm really happy managed to get a B overall. After getting a D in unit 1 (62 UMS) I chose not to retake it. I thought there was no way I could pass AS physics with a good grade. I focused on unit 3 (ISA?) and got full marks and managed to get a B in unit 2. I'm going to drop the subject but I am really happy that I got a B. Well done to everyone else who took a-level physics, good luck with A2
