In p2, there were questions on something to do with alpha radiation and a liquid, then why repeats were used, and then interpreting a graph on different radiation types.

In p1, there was a question asking to show that the frequency of a 1mm wave was 3x10^11.

That's all the other questions I can remember. I am trying to think of the rest. Hope this helps

Another for p1 was an advantage of DAB (1 mark), and something to do with interference for 2 marks.

wHAT DID YOU WRITE ABOUT DAB BEING BETTER?

Thanks, I've updated my posts

I wrote DAB allows access to more stations

[stardude8]

More stations are available.

There was also a power=voltagexcurrent question, followed by calculating energy supplied in kwH. There was then a question about a new 10p rate versus a previous 12p/6p rate, and you had to say why it wouldn't save any money, I think.

What did you write for the answer for that

Was it an AC or DC?

The main difference of the two i think is that an AC changes direction while and DC travels in one direction (e.g a straight line across the graph) therefore i wrote that the second current was AC as the direction of the current changed similar to the current in the previous graph.

Power was 2.07 Kw I think (230x9=2070W=2.07Kw) Units of electricity was 2.07x12=24.84 units. Then I said something about how a lot of the electricity units came from things left on overnight, so there was a 4p gain for more units than there was a 2p reduction for, I' m not too sure about it.

Yeah that's what I wrote, 4 marks.for me if the grade boundaries are as low a January we would only need 44/75... Which means about 14,15,15 in each module :O

I wrote multiplexing!:/ would that be a mark??

I wrote multiplexing and can be amplified without interruption -.- hopefully?

For what grade?

[stardude8]

It was 44 for an A* in Physics in january, probably because it was the first time it was sat (this syllabus), I believe it was also 46 for biology, and 52 for chemistry. Ridiculously low, so let's hope for low boundaries this time as well for all three!

[bossun]

Wow if Biology in January was really that Low then i must have done bad O: and i wonder how am i going to do for physics. I got the before speed question wrong putting 20m/s

44/75 A* in January

[dory123]

wow those grade boundaries are low! really? where did you hear that from thats kind of made my day because i found this exam so difficult! some of the questions were a bit cheeky because of how they worded them...so much harder than the biology and chemistry exam!

[SweatyGoldfish]

Please let those be the grade boundaries, oh god please.

From the OCR Website, and really? I thought biology was the hardest abd chemistry was the easiest, this one was fine, but yep! Some silly questions, wording anyway!

Same here although I did find physics to be more difficult than I thought

Can you remember any other questions from the exam I can add to posts 29, 30 and 32 on page 2?

[SweatyGoldfish]

What did you guys put, for why should the girl repeat her radiation experiment 5 times; and why should scientists do seperate research on spacey stuff ?(Can't remember the exact question )
