Isaac physics SPC 2022

Anyone thinking of doing the challenge this year? How many questions have you guys did?

I've done like 5 at C3, 60 at C2 and about 100 at C1 with another 200 at the practice level which don't count towards being selected. I hope to do about 150 C2 questions by the deadline but that might be a bit optimistic, I find C3 way too hard and time consuming. I found out about the challenge very late and regret not having done questions earlier as I began doing Isaac questions more seriously only at the end of February :frown:

I've done 243 C1, 240 C2, and 66 C3. I started very early though, around October, so I had a lot of time to think about the more challenging C3 questions. Isaac Physics does state though that students admitted last year attempted around 300 questions each, so 300+ should give a good chance of getting admitted into the program.

I started in late March so I decided to approach it differently. I focused on doing C1-3 in further A and Early University ~50 in total. But over the last few days, I did some of the A-level q's and got to 150. Hopefully the point system favours the harder q's by a lot lol.

Wow that so many lol

Saw someone on another thread did near 600 and had a 150 day streak.

ugh I'm having a total meltdown because I didn't know Practice questions didn't count at all, so I'm only on 132 challenge questions and it's passed the deadline now so I don't think I'm getting in.
