Oh atleast some one else is doing this! Yeah there's nothing you can do apart from learn the experiments from a book. Did you do them in your school? I just remember them from doing it, otherwise, the cgp revision guide has all the experiments. Just make notes on all experiments and learn them by memory.

Once you look at the mark scheme it looks so simple but actually trying to do them is so hard

My physics and chemistry exams clash as 1 is AQA and the other is Edexcel. Two solid exams at the same time.

If anyone is struggling to find relevant past papers, go to pastpapers.net for the IGCSE physics jan 2014 one. Also, there is a hidden spec paper in the specification itself. Only found this out yesterday :eek:
