    First CIE thread I've come across.
    I do additional maths, physics, chemistry, biology, English language, English literature, economics, computer studies and French. Variant 2.
    Until now, I've done all the French papers, Economics paper 2 and 3, physics paper 1, Bio paper 3 and 6, Comp. studies paper 1, Chemistry paper 6, English lit. paper 4 and English language paper 2 and 3.
    I'm so scared for physics paper 3 tomorrow. I've done like a million past papers, but still. D:
    Good luck!
    Good for you! Nice for you to join this thread! I hope tomorrow we all come in and say good things about the paper, study hard every one!

    13:30 English time do you think you could private message the topics and hard questions?

    I hated the hydraulics question - I didn't get it at all (until after the exam ) and also I didn't really get the question about the flask in the boiling water and the level of X.

    That comforts me, as everyone in my class thought it was really hard as well. Hopefully the grade boundaries will be a little bit lower.

    I completely messed up co-ordinated science! The fact that they combined all three sciences into one paper made it even more difficult *sigh*. I guess we'll only know how badly we've done on results day... not looking forward to that

    It was hard! What was that stupid model bird question?
    And the 'special feature' of the turbine?
    I spent so long on thermal physics, and there was like, nothing about it. D:
    Do you remember what you got for the refractive index of the glass?

    Ah, okay. I got like 1.3 or something. Seemed to be alright.
    I wrote it continued on in the clockwise direction. Not too sure though. D:
    Argh, it was the hardest physics paper 'til date, I think.

    What other subjects do you take?
