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

The next two weeks for me is still finishing the syllabus!


Posted from TSR Mobile

We finished FP4 this week, but it didn't really feel like doing much because everything in FP4 is matrices so it's just more of the same! Chemistry is a fair few weeks off finishing but everything else is done and ready to be revised

All coming together! Scary stuff though

Sorry if this has already been asked, but does anybody have the unit 5 papers from last year?

Just got to get myself through the rest of FP2 really!

I will hopefully have them after my unit 5 mock, but no one has yet volunteered to upload them

I think most colleges want to keep them under wraps unfortunately.

I see. Annoying that AQA haven't put up last years papers yet when other exam boards have

Have other exam boards? I can't see my Edexcel subject (History), but I can with WJEC (Computing).

My Edexcel subjects (History, Maths and Further Maths) are all up?

Oh my mistake! Maybe I haven't looked at history enough ������ what history do you do?

I do option C: United States challenged and transformed and the coursework of course
What about you?

Ah! I do option D; the Challenge of Fascism (Germany Kaiser to Fuhrer) and the coursework.

How are you finding physics? What option do you do?

Ah fair enough, I always found Germany units interesting (at GCSE anyway).

I'm doing the astrophysics unit, which has probably been my favourite part this year to be honest. Didn't like some of the fields stuff in unit four really, the mechanics stuff I did in maths so didn't find too bad but the magnetism stuff was just . Wishing we still did the particle physics from unit one!

Yeah I did Germany at GCSE which was cool. There's a lot of overlap between GCSE and A2 so learning the content this year has been a lot easier.

I feel the same really! There's a lot of content in astro which is rather annoying, but it's one of the more interesting units I think.

That's always a plus! Yeah there is a lot of content but nothing, in my opinion anyway, that seems too bad or overly complicated.

Oh right! Yeah, I see what you mean. If only that was the same for the fields topics in unit 4.

Exactly!!
