Edexcel Physics (Salters Horners) PSA5 - Wednesday 11th June

How is everyone feeling about the exam on Wednesday? I'm so glad that the exam is only 1 hour! Does anyone have any past papers because I only have one :frown:

I have past papers and mark schemes. Which ones do you need?

Also, I'm really looking forward to finally getting this course over and done with. Just over a week and then no more SHAP!

Okay, I'll put them all up. Also have PSA4 and PSA6 if anyone's interested.

I also have '04, but TSR won't let me put it up, because it's a different file type. :confused:

I don't have 05-07 on the computer and I've written all over my paper copies, so sorry if you need them.

If you really want '04, pm me and I'll e-mail them to you.

PSA4 and PSA5 clash... so you'll have them back to back.

Thank you everyone. Im seriously cramming now! The main things I need to work on are Ideal Gases, SHM and Fusion/Fission. What about everyone else?

We're talking about Edexcel (Salters Horners) Physics not the main Edexcel Physics :smile:

Ergh, I can't seem to get my head around 'Fusion/Fission'. :frown:

the only thing that i'm not fully certain with are questions on ideal gases. I get all the idea's and i know all the knowledge pretty well, but as everyone doing salter horners knows, its the sodding questions that determine how well you do.

i'm praying for nothing too ambitious tomorrow.

Im hoping for straightforward definition questions e.g. conditions for SHM, resonance and damping. I hope all the other questions are 'show that..' and allow us to make use of the formula sheet!

Im crying in my head!! :frown:

Cant wait for it to be over. The way they ask you the questions is just horrible, half the time i dont even know wot they want me to do, so i just scribble down random formlaue! Im glad its in the morn cuz it will be over sooner!!

In which there's a whole chapter of S-wave/P-wave twaddle. Is this the paper for that chapter?

if you're talking about the Build or Bust chapter, only the first few pages are about s/p waves and its not even necessary to know about them as their not listed in the achievements section at the end of the chapter.

i'm very much hoping for the same thing!! basically questions about stuff i know well, as opposed to random questions that ask for loads of "assumptions" and "estimates".
