AQA Physics PHYA5 - Thursday 18th June 2015 [Exam Discussion Thread]

The CGP revision guide is good for brief notes I find. I'd do that and then use the AQA book as a reference when you come across something you don't understand.

I agree the revision guides are good at putting things concisely and then if you do find something tricky you can go back to the text book to learn more :smile:

Scanning them is going to be a right hassle for you. :/
It's fine, was wondering if you had any notes typed up because my teacher this year is awful. Don't know how she graduated with a physics degree because she doesn't seem to know anything. Whenever we ask her a question regarding the content she has to google it and gets answers off wikipedia! -.-
But thanks for offering anyway and for your help on the question. Much appreciated! :biggrin:

I'm probably going to make summary notes from the CGP revision guide.

Oh no! There's nothing worse than a bad teacher. My notes are basically made from the textbook anyway because I learn more through reading than listening to someone (If that makes any sense) if there is any particular topic you want I don't mind scanning a few pages for you :smile:

Exactly! Especially when it comes to A2 Physics, it's difficult as it is already.
Oh yeah I know what you mean, I prefer doing that too.
Thanks, I'll have a look through my notes/ revision guide and let you know? Thanks anyway. :smile:

There's an AQA physics book too? What does that look like? I thought there was only the CGP one? :/

Hi everyone

I'm also doing AQA A2 Physics and I've started Unit 5 and I will be doing turning points.

I have used the CGP A2 Physics text guide to help me with revision and it is amazing!
I definitely recommend this to all AQA Physics students.

Hope this helps, good luck with your exams

Just wondering - is anyone doing astro for the other module in unit 5? :smile:

Hey!

I'm doing this exam too.

For me, I'm finding unit 5 harder than unit 4 at the moment. But that's probably because I haven't done that much revision on it. I really like the AQA revision guide, it has helped me loads.

Got an assessment next week on Thermal Physics, so I'm probably going to do a bunch of revision for that this week.

How's the revision going for everyone else?

I nearly mentioned that my college has a test next week for physics and then I realised we're from the same college :facepalm:

haha - hi!

Hahaha, hey!

How's physics going for you? (: I'm actually looking forward to the assessment, I can see where I'm at with thermal physics and hopefully work on my weaknesses. I've definitely found unit 5 harder than unit 4.

Not looking forward to it tbh. Giving us mock style tests with only 2 weeks between each set for the whole year through is not fair :/ I'm struggling with 4 a2 levels.
