Does anyone know what topics are likely to come up in OCR A physics this year

you cant predict what topics are gonna come up, they can ask anything

I'm assuming you mean the one with the table on vector and scalar quantities?

It cannot be A, as acceleration is not a scalar.
It cannot be B as displacement is not a scalar.
It cannot be C as wavelength is not a vector, it just has magnitude.
Hence it must be D.

Good luck everyone

do we have to memorise the value for 1 AU?

It’s not given in the equation sheet so Yh

I’ve sat every paper from 2017 to 2022 and have average around 72%. I’m aiming for an A, but given the grade boundaries will be so high, will it be possible. People are saying we’re going back to 2019 grade boundaries, so what affect will this have on the paper. Will it be harder compared to recent years?

I wouldn't say that we are necessarily going back to 2019 grade boundaries, rather the proportion of A*s awarded will be returning to pre-covid level grade boundaries which includes 2017,2018 and 2019. Although it will most almost definitely be low or high 80s for an A*, it just depends on whether the government applies an over correction and makes it too strict or gives us a bit of leeway. Another thing to keep in mind is that grade boundaries always tend to naturally rise the longer a spec is out, so really its a bit hard to tell this time round.

Im guessing that it will be around the same level papers just higher grade boundaries. Last yr A* was 211/270 and 2019 was 230/270 so im guessing around the 220/225 mark.
Good luck for tomorrow! Here's to a great paper! :smile:

The low-end of the grade boundaries will change a bit.
Don't think the high end of the grade boundary gonna change.

Astrophysics are less likely as OCR asked a lot of astrophysics in the 2022 paper.

Do we need to know about Obler's Paradox, Critical Density of the Universe and the fate of the universe (one, closed and flat)?

Anyone else stressing and feel like they have not done enough, I've done over 40 past papers (in total) but compared to some people I know it doesn't feel like enough. Modelling feels okay for me however they may put lots of challenging content or lots of year 12 content on there to catch us out.
