Re: AQA GCSE Physics Unit 1 - 20th June 2012 - MY UNOFFICIAL MARK SHEMEWhat did everyone write for 7a- the two properties of microwaves and radio waves.
I said they are both transverse and both have longer wavelengths and shorter frequencies than the other waves on the spectrum.
I may have got one on that one

Re: AQA GCSE Physics Unit 1 - 20th June 2012 - MY UNOFFICIAL MARK SHEMEi wrote that they were both transverse waves and that they both tramsfer energy, but you could also have said something along the lines of the fact that they both have longer wavelengths than infared radiation:-)

Re: AQA GCSE Physics Unit 1 - 20th June 2012 - MY UNOFFICIAL MARK SHEMEFrom the grade boundaries,say an exam was out of 100 UMS and the grade boundaries were as follows:A*-59 A-53 B-46 C-40 D-34.Each grade is worth 10% less UMS an A*=90% UMS,A=80 UMS,etc.The UMS of marks in between grades is the UMS between the 2 grades/raw marks between grades and this is the rate of ums to raw mark conversion and from this you can calculate any mark eg.58 marks 59-53=6 raw marks,90-80=10 UMS points,10/6=1.6666.... 1.6666...85=8.3333.... and UMS points get rounded using usual rounding rules so a mark of 58,would get 80 UMS+8=88 UMS and if you wanted to know marks above the A* grade boundary are calculated by the use of a CAP,which is the amount of marks for 100% and this is calculated by the A* boundary-A boundary(59-53=6)+the A* boundary=65 and then from this you can use the same process I described previously.(Original post by BLTontour)
How are UMS points calculated?

Re: AQA GCSE Physics Unit 1 - 20th June 2012 - MY UNOFFICIAL MARK SHEMEDon't worry you can make up for it in the ISA, P2 and P3(Original post by 08rbut)
I got a B - one mark off an A! So annoyed about that but hey, I thought I completely messed up that paper as I am sure I missed about 3 questions!

Re: AQA GCSE Physics Unit 1 - 20th June 2012 - MY UNOFFICIAL MARK SHEMEyour right, i guess i can still get an A*(Original post by Raasib21)
well done! don't worry its only 1 ums but if you get 91 ums in unit 2 then it'll be like you got 90 ums on both units (1 and 2)
