How did you guys find it?

Well... Could have gone worse I suppose... But that was still an awful exam. I quite liked the questions, I suppose it was easy in that respect, but I just should have revised more efficiently.

revised more efficiently.

According to Pearson your (output energy)/(output energy) is your efficiency so if it makes you feel any better you were 100% fam

Why is it that Physics is the only subject that I don't manage to answer every question? So frustrating because I know I would have completed everything if I got an extra 5 mins

Same, I had a few questions where I had to quickly finish it, probably got it wrong

Yeah... More time and I would have notice the stupid mistakes I made!! Like the one about calculating what the fluid was!

I realsied later that I messed up in the resistivity one, got the area wrong :frown:

Oh well! It will all be okay in the end, what's done is done!
I got very confused on the efficiency one, as I had one value in energy and one in power, and had no time to convert. Now I think I realise.. Did you have to use P=FV?

They gave Pd and Current, so you do P=VI I think

The efficiency one, you know the velocity to be 0.4m/s so in 1 second it rises by 0.4mYou can use E=mgΔh to find out the energy (which if also the power) then P=VI (or something like that) and use the two powers to find efficiency :smile:

The multiple choice was quite weird. That first question tho!

Ahhhh, I think I did it right then! That's good!! What fluid did you get that the student was using? Corn syrup?

Anyone do the resit of the old spec? or does anyone know if there's a thread for it?

Cheers

Easiest paper I've done in years. Glad I didn't waste time revising. Might aswell take my uni exams now. Piece of piss. Thought this was the GCSE, after reading the cover several times, apparently this is a level standard. I might aswell take all A levels, if they are that easy.
:u:

Hope you guys didn't do too bad, you have always got next year.
