OCR A A-level Physics Exploring Physics (H556/02) - 9th June 2023 [Exam Chat]

How many marks do you think you got on Papers 1 and 2? I’ve been trying to calculate how much I need for Paper 3 too lol

Icl i didn’t do the best and I need a B for my offer, paper 1 didn’t go great but I’m hoping 50 because I liked the 6 markers and multiple choice seemed okay. Paper 2 I made so many dumb mistakes but still hoping like 60ish, flunked the 6 markers though, everything about nuclear power literally left me head so that messed me up. Anyways I reckon I need 40-50 in paper 3 now, which is higher than I’ve ever gotten rip

Which grade boundaries are you using? I’m gonna need like 50 on Paper 3 to meet my offer which is very unrealistic but we’ll see

ahh see this is why I love physics so much, such minute things like this can bring around such interesting topic discussions. I think that my mindset here was kinda like I didn't know how to get the value of energy so I assumed that the positron was traveling close to the speed of light which gives out the wavelength. Honestly, tho physics is just too cool. Definitely the best of the 3 sciences IMO

Bruv i drew structural formula on that radical question with no dashes im fxcked fr fr 😭

can you guys please share how you are preparing for the exploring paper? I did all past papers for modeling but what I saw in the exam was something else. so now I don't even know how to revise

Hahaha surprisingly got a B overall on 3 papers. shocked that i actually got a 58 in p1
anyone wondering, i got BBB in maths physics and chem
off to uni of sheffield Aerospace engineering BENG
#1 tip I can give you is to understand how to apply your knowledge in real-life scenarios, especially in paper 1
