No, I did not. I will be doing Physics 4 and 5 (in 2-3 weeks )

I am just trying to find out, if there are changes to other units in physics (and chemistry) with the belief that it will give me some ideas about my papers, lol

[ShmangoBaby]

It was so hard But i dont think they will make the boundaries really low or anything :\
But it was such a hard paper! I hated every bit of it except for the MCQs. Those were really easy.

Nope i disagree,,cus many people found it hard,if its hard grade boundary will be low,but the question is how low..last jan it was 55,,i found this paper harder than jan 2012.

Well you'll never know.. sigh. guess we'll just have to wait to find out..

One of the Jan papers (not 2012) had 45 for an A, this paper was definately harder.

I know, I was really surprised when I saw that especially considering that particular paper wasn't too bad.

[samjj8]

I didn't actually find the paper hard. I just couldn't do the last question :\ I think I scored 2 marks out of the 12.

[aymaanx]

easily the hardest paper yet on this unit, edexcel might as well have hit me in the face- and yet the shock wouldnt have been as bad. absolutely hated it

[jacksonrr24]

55-60 is the average grade boundary,for eg compare this paper with jan 2012 its much harder,i dnt know y some ppl voted 55-60,check grade boundaries of previous year,before voting.THIS PAPER WAS NOT AVERAGE BY ANY MEANS.

[EyesSetToKill]

I found it quite easy, but then again I'm retaking so I guess I have higher knowledge.
The only two questions I found tough were the resistance with the switches table and the last question on emf.

[When you see it...]

OCR B was pretty hard too (yes I'm aware you're talking about Edexcel and no I didn't vote in the poll as I know that would skew the results for you guys).

[freedomyak]

Well here are the grade boundaries for an A in June sittings of Unit 2:

2009 54/80

2010 52/80

2011 55/80


Average of those is 54, so I think it will be 56 for an A as Edexcel usually 'review' their exams (basically replace some questions with easier ones from their question bank for the subject) when grade boundaries are consistently low.

56 how??It doesnt make sense?It was harder than last June, 52 seems likely.

[ronald_mcdonald]

Sorry if I missed it... but this thread is about AQA physics... right?

EDIT: Yeah just read up you're talking bout Edexcel. Good I didn't vote then. OP should make it clearer.

[siriol]

does anybody know where i can get this paper to go over at home? can i even get it somewhere?
