paper 2??
does anyone have any predictions?

look up primrose kitten on YouTube she does very accurate predictions. her predictions for chem and bio were super accurate

These are the ones from Primrose kitten on YouTube:

Magnets, motor effect, transformer and generator effect
Pressure in fluids
SA calcs
Speed + the calculations
Distance time and velocity time graphs
Newtons laws
Acceleration practicals
Waves in general + the differences of them
Use for the electromagnetic spectrum
Ripple tank practical + standing wave practical
Spring practical - hookes law
Moment and momentum
Forces needed to stop things moving
Life cycle of a star
Structure of the solar system and the evidence of big bang + satellites

thanks a lot! But isn't this the whole spec? 😭

I don’t think it’s the whole spec but either way this was what primrose said in specific and she’s pretty good at predictions
does anyone else struggle with paper 2 phyiscs because i feel like the content in it is harder

I think there is just a lot of it. It's all forces and waves....
what did one ocean say to the other?

this for some reason made me giggle

I acc hate waves so much its such a boring topic but likely we are going to get a practical of the ripple I think because we never got that practical so im guessing maybe bc for the last paper 2 bio exam I predicted the reaction time was going to come up and it did but also the spring practical may come butt again that practical was done in one of the past papers I dont quite remember but that for sure. paper 2 2022 they got question of the angle light thingy practical like yk that glass box you put and then you have a protractor to do lines , yeah its probs unlikely for us t get that again

It has fulfilled its purpose
Is anyone stressed over it??? Paper one had loads of equations so I feel like there won't be much in paper 2 and paper 2 content is quite difficult
why are people already voting😭
Last year the grade boundaries were higher then usual since they got the equation sheet and advanced information...do you think this years grade boundaries will be even higher then last years or the same since we also get the equation sheet???

they've been lulled into a false sense of security

grade boundaries' are supposed to be higher anyway, but I heard somewhere that they cannot be higher than the 2019 AQA Physics grade boundaries, which is a relief.

paper 2 is going to be REALLY difficult since paper 1 was a breeze and they will need to balance the grade boundaries somehow.
