2015 Jan Edexcel IAL Physics unit 1

I don't know whether is there a thread for 2015 Jan Edexcel IAL Physics exam or not but I just open a new one.

So, for people who took the exam today, how was it? :confused:

yeah... kind of weird question for physics but anyway that question is much more easier than other questions... in fact, im running out of time... missed one question :frown: so damm nervous about unit 1

well physics boundaries are usually low..
but i have to say i have done all past papers from 2009 up to 2014 and have never seen a harder one ...

how much were they the last time ?
because the january and may june IAL seemed much easier than this...
The thing that I don't understand is that why did they scheduled both Unit 1 subjects on the same damn day? smh

It wasnt that hard. But it was the trickiest paper I have ever done.:frown:
The questions required careful reading through the stem of the questions.
Im not sure about all the questions, but Im sure I aced the magnets A and B one :biggrin:

I forgot my passport in the Chem U1 exam and nearly had a nerve breakdown. So I am more confident about physics paper

Hello,
