I think P7 might be decent, thing is, the grade boundaries for P123 tend to be high despite it's randomness guhguhggh

Uggh, have u seen the paper for P1-P3 last year? They actually marked you for something that wasn't even in the freaking question. How is that fair?

P7 though, it's a bit too broad though. You can't exactly predict the questions. With P3, it was pretty easy to predict but with P7, it's pretty hard to think up of questions.

P.S.

Sorry for the horrible grammar :frown:

That paper was 50% maths and 50% physics. That paper was 99% bull**** and 1% maths.

what did everyone get for the depth of the ocean and the reason for it?

3300, because 300 is roughly 170 m/s so 180 m/s would be a third of a 1000 plus 3000. What did u get?

P.S.

I thought it was like a trick question and put 7000 and said that earthquakes start at the ocean floor... I messed up on that one

For the depth question I said the depth was 3000 ??

Well I got at least half of that wrong. This was the hardest paper! Did anyone else find it difficult to finish in the hour? I spent more time reading than answering which is stupid.
By end, I left 2 (no time) and half answered about 6!
:frown:

Horrid paper

I'm guessing between 28-30 for an A* this year - last year was 31 and that was WAYYYYY harder.

An A* for p123 last year was above 40 and it will probably be around 38 this year.

It would add up to A or A* depending on how high/low the A* grades are. You don't need an A* to do A level.

Yeah but I really would like to get an A*. If my coursework is a low A* (25%) and this exam a high B and other two exam a high A* would it be possible for it to be an A* overall - doesn't matter how high or low it is :redface:
