    I thought there were parts that were quite tricky and it was hard to know what equations to use sometimes. What did you think? also for the electricity ones my answers were quite weird im not sure if they were right.

    Ok I thought, yeah there was a lot of maths in it, and really big numbers, or loads of decimal places. But not too much where you had to remember facts etc - quite good I thought

    I thought it was alright overall but way to mathsy! There was one question in particular where everyone came out with totally different answers. Some peoples' answer for that was a decimal, some were in the hundreds and some were even in the hundreds of thousands! It was very unfair to put so many questions in where there was no straightforward equation to use.

    Yeh, it was pretty crazy how mean they were with the questions. Hopefully the next one will be more wordy so it might be easier to get the marks.

    I got 44 but that seems to much thinking about it! My friends got 24 im not really sure! Can anyone remember the question on fussion and fission and you had to fill out a table well I got two out of the 8 in the correct column can anyone remember if that question was 4 or 8 marks? really dont want to lose 6 marks

    Not too bad! I got 24 car lengths. Lets hope paper 2 is nice next week as we finish off before the summer! Id say there will be space, electromagnetism and probably some energy. Also the electricity wasnt too bad so there might be more

    I think the answer is 24 if the car infront stops suddenly without deccelerating (like in a crash) and 6 if the car infront has to quickly put the brakes, decelerating to rest.
