Has anyone got some good last minute revision tips? I've glanced at Medical Physics and decided that I'm going to leave it alone.

I'd say go over flashcards or watch short summary videos on topics you're not confident in. All the best tomorrow I need that B too

I spoke to someone that did it last year and they said that paper 2 was easier than paper 1 coz, like this year, they changed the format of some of the questions in paper 1, but they didn't in paper 2, so hopefully they won't change paper 2 too much this year. Also, just letting you know, there has been an electricity based (Energy-resistance-power or circuits) 6 marker every year except 2019 (which still had an electric fields 6 marker), so probably brush up on electricity pags. The only topic that hasn't had a 6 marker yet is charge&current which can't really have a 6 marker so idk what the other 6 marker would be

Aiming for 80+ in this paper because I probably got 50s in Paper 1 despite averaging 80s in past papers.

There’s no way they make it as bad as Paper 1 again else I can say goodbye to university.

Anyone have any ideas what they think the 6 marker practical will be. Really hoping it’s electricity and not waves or capacitors lol

Did the 2020 paper 2 and got 64. Now I’m really worried because I need at least 70 for tmrws paper because I defo got 50s in paper 1.

Anyone else really struggling on medical and nuclear questions?

Your name is extremely relatable, I love it. The thing is it's not even been that bad in previous years, but after what they did in paper 1 this year yeah I hate them lol

I haven't done any exam questions for paper 2. And I haven't been bothered to go through the year 1 content, as last time during a class test, I got a A for the year 1 content in paper 2. And I'm worried about the year 2 content of paper 2!
Except the ones that my teacher given to the class, but this was before half-term!

I'm speed-running though through all of the paper 2s that exist now
