WJEC PH4 20th June 2016

Okay, so this paper is coming up in 2 days, how are we feeling for it?
Also does anyone know of anywhere that will publish the paper/unofficial mark scheme for physics? Would be nice if there was a place like there is for maths :smile:

Thanks.

Hey, I'm not feeling too great for this exam, been so long since we did it in school as we were late finishing PH5, forgotten most of it :frown:

How are you feeling for it ?

Yeah we finished PH5 extremely late as well so I know how you feel, sad times :frown: Well I'm more worried about PH5 seen as we've had less time doing past paper practise on it but I'm hoping that PH4 will be fairly nice

I think I'm more confident for PH5 as it was so recent we looked at the past papers, plus its further away which helps haha

I have a week in-between M2 and PH5 which gives plenty of time for sorting out that pesky case study and the horrible B-fields section. I'm not looking forward to thermodynamics on PH4 but the rest is fairly straight (I hope, please be nice WJEC).

I have M2 the day before ph5, also between Ph4 and them I have statistics 2 and fp2 as well!!
I don't mind the B-fields work, its the radioactivity work I struggle on!
What have you chosen for your option ?

Material, although we had no option, which i don't mind it seems to be the easiest.

Did you get help from your teachers then if you're all doing the same ?

Yes, it was taught along with all the other sections? Did you have to the option by yourself?

Yes we have to self teach the options, and the case study !

That's crazy, why don't they teach you the case study? That could really hinder some people's understanding of it.

My class was forced to do medical Physics and I swear it is the hardest option ;-; My medical Physics notes take up half my entire PH5 file!
I thought the paper was reasonably easy, but was really long, didn't finish the final 2 parts of the last question which is like 9 marks :s-smilie:
Awful paper

Hoping the grade boundaries are lower. Such a horrible and awkward paper. Everyone in my class though so too. There was just so much explaining and loads of questions that have never come up before :/ How did other people do?
Got stuck on some questions. Annoyed that I understood how to do them once I left the exam room :s-smilie:
