Thank goodness for that, I though it went ok too but haven't found anyone who didn't say it was horrible I though it was just me, like you though it was a retake and think having done A2 really helped. Simple physics in weird questions.


Other retake people at my sixth form seemed to think it was alright. It's probably just a matter of experience. Having done A2 and got that extra practise and familiarity with answering questions helped a lot I think.

I think answer to mcq 10 is C. Because using the card we are finding the average velocities at two instants (light gates). But as we know g on earth is high the velocity is changing at every instant.

Yes you are right. I have done this experiment practically so yeah length of the card.

hey guys if I got 4P in that power question , does it mean I lose all 3 marks? or do I still get 1?

one mark for the formula one mark for the values. and hence you screwed up the answer so 2/3.
I think 57/80 at a stretch. Was a horrible exam. After averaging 72-75 in all others, there's no way this will not have lenient boundaries. On one P2 exam, it was 58 for full marks UMS. I doubt it will be that lenient but it proves that it is possible!

My teacher expects the same **** for unit 2 because it distinguishes better. He said the key is timing.
I should have done it like it in C2... Just never look at the watch and stay calm.

How did the IAL paper go? And what did you find difficult?
I found the projectile four mark question difficult to expand on despite it being an easy concept.

Well... It was different not hard but different you know I've been practicing the for this paper for nearly two years. The style of that paper the type of questions which could be asked I knew them back and forth in my head. Now i was able to understand and answer most of the questions but the paper was so different I was staggered by the shock panicked left out big questions and scrabbled bs and ran out of time.

Do you all think P2 will be as hard as P1? Why do they chose this year to increase the difficulty! Especially when all exams are sat in the summer..
