From what I've heard, seems like most people will be cramming the weekend before! Lets hope they're nice to us with the questions and give us really easy ones? :tongue:

Have you guys done any past papers yet? And do you know where to get them because I can only find 1 :frown: Pretty hard GCSE IMO

It went pretty well I think :smile: I did it on lunar features (aided) and the shadow stick readings (unaided). What about you?


Me too bro, high-five! The stick thing was so annoying though haha xD

There are some on the Edexcel website.. I've only done one but my teacher said she'd post some papers for us online :smile: I agree that it's hard though.. I got like 60% in the mock (I didn't revise too much though to be fair..)

Here's the only one I can find atm.. I'll try to post the rest later.. It's an 08 paper and don't know if the syllabus has changed slightly since then.. But it should still do the job :smile:
