That paper was solidddd
that paper was too hard compared with the biology and chemistry paper.

Okay.....i really hope they lower the grade boundary for Physics..I found that quite hard...the 6 markers were horrible!
For the time it takes for the wave to travel to earth did anyone get something like 3255680 seconds or something like that?

I put the same, as it was definately an EM wave, and i remembered that all EM waves are transverse

I don't understand how the longitudinal and transverse waves question was a 6 mark. I mean how much can you write??
I was counting on atleast one of the 6 markers to be on an easy topic like EM waves, space or renewable energy or something but no they were both stupid.
This paper was harder than any of the past papers I did ugh
Also, what did people get for that maths question near the end of the paper for the amount of hours the kettle was on for?

I got just under 2, but I agree, horrible paper, grade boundaries should be low gauging by the reactions
