AQA A Level Physics Paper 3 7408/3 - 16 Jun 2022 [Exam Chat]

There was a 20% difference in Grades between June 2019 and June 2021 so if AQA's announcement about grades being a midpoint between the two wasn't bs then there will be 10% more ppl that get each grade (A* - 21.6% in 2021 compared to 8.7% in 2019, A - 46.6% in 2021 compared to 27.9% in 2019 and so on...)

I do turning points which should be easier but idk yet because i havent done any past papers because of how slow my skl is at teaching us the content

How are you going to revise for turning points? For me, I really just wanna stick to the advanced information tbh cuz the 3 bullets points that AQA listed could make up to 35 marks for the optional module, but there were some pretty high mark questions in paper 1 and paper 2 that weren't in advanced information so I'm just a bit panicking at this point, might just not revise some topics in Wave-Particle duality as it's long and some of them might not even come up.

Ugh the option is so dense idk why we rush through it at the end of the course when it's like 15% of our grade. i don't think i'll revise too much outside the advance info, i have so many exams next week.

I do turning points. I advise to revise everything. Knowing Aqa and their bs system they have. They’ll end up doing us dirty.

I also feel like revising everything might be best, but since (for astrophysics, my topic) there are four topics on the advance info and four questions, how could they include additional topics without completely violating the advance info? I'm going to revise everything but focus mostly on the advance info topics.

True that, it's just that I'm a bit short on time so I'm thinking to leave out some information to revise in Wave-Particle duality. Might just try to understand and summarise everything if I have no time at the end.

Thankfully some of turning points is paper 1 stuff (photoelectric and photon model, specific charge of the electron and wave particle duality)
I dislike special relativity. Ergh its long and I haven’t spent most of my time on it. Feeling like it will somehow come up, knowing AQA.

Anyone doing engineering here

special relativity is on the advanced info though, but i agree with them probably not putting the first parts of turning points on as that is sort of assessed in paper 1, the determination of electronic charge is big enough to do an entire sort of 12 marker on just that

I am! And idk where to get extra resources, our teachers literally just posted a PowerPoint and told us to go through it, and i didn't even start revising for paper 3 yet anyways

Do you recon the grade boundaries for this paper will be high? 😬

Oh yeh it is on the advanced info, my bad lmao. Gonna end up learning everything anyways but yeh. The determination of electronic charge is so niceee. Jus need to do questions.
