AQA A Level Physics Paper 1 7408/1 - 26 May 2022 [Exam Chat]

can you link me the thread about the AS physics paper

Im not a physics student but can anyone tell me how close the content in the exam was to the advanced information list? It could help me out in my other science subjects

Does the majority of the ppl find this paper easy? Cause I found it pretty tough, so I am a bit worried now.

Uh, it was definitely on the easier side this time around and I say that objectively. The questions were mostly linear applications of formulas and the theory was also not too difficult with the hardest theory question being the evidence for anti neutrino imo but even that was doable with a bit of application. (although the only theory question I didn't get was the one explaining differences in spectra because I thought it wasn't coming up.) The hardest numerical question was probably the 3 marker on gamma photons that one was tricky. Other than that you had the door question which was all fairly simple application. The circular motion question was almost entirely just basic use of the formulas and a bit of theory application straight from the textbook. 6 marker on optics speaks for itself. I forgot what the last big marked question was (4 or 5). In terms of the mcqs they were about the same as they always are and all were doable within about 40 to 45 minutes to get then mostly or all correct. EDIT: just remembered the one I forgot was electricity and aside from a relatively tricky 3 or 4 marker to find r the rest was straightforward. I say relatively because it was probably the tricky maths question aside from gamma photons. So although there were a few tricky questions here and there almost no question on this paper was hard

Can someone tell me if the as papers you guys sat last year were absolute hell or do I need to stop having a total panic attack
