Anyone got revision tips for paper 3. Currently just going through the practicals that are on the advanced info and just doing past papers
hey which practicals are you all revising.

Trying to score a 65/120 I hope that’s possible
Does anyone know have rough the grade boundaries are looking like I know they’re not going to be lower than 2021 but lower than 2019 but still have no predictions

Oh my God 2019s paper was roouuuugh! That whole thing with the oxygenated blood had me stumped. And so much Combining of formulas for kinetic energy and stuff. That paper made me mighty sad. Did 2017 and felt like everything was cool then did 2019 and was like I'm gonna die. About to do 2020s now. Hopefully 2019s paper was just an anomaly.

I'm aiming for 170 out of all 3 papers should get a B with that.
Which practicals in particular are you guys focusing on? Obviously 6 and 15, but which other ones do you reckon will come up?

Looking at the radioactive decay one maybe ? And all the waves on and calculating g also the electricty ones because but I know the Resitivity one already just the emf one just in case
Do we need proof of completed Core Practicals this year, for example written up in a lab book? My friend does Edexcel Biology and says they don’t need to do any this year, but so far the Edexcel website for physics says we need proof of at least 12 practicals in order to pass?

i am actually screwed for this paper, paper 2 went horribly. edexcel gaslit us into thinking the papers wouldn't be too bad after paper 1

your teachers would have sent proof to the exam boards

Yeah they tricked me but paper 3 is the hardest paper usually but they gave us some info so synoptic questions shouldn’t be too bad they’ve told us one main practical that and the uncertainties and know how u increase accuracy with apparatus we shouldn’t be tooo bad half shouldn’t be too rough

yeah thats true but whenever they asked to criticise or comment on something I almost never get it right when I think I'm right. i can never interpret the questions correctly :bawling:

Ah, in what form? Like photos of my lab book or? Because I haven’t filled any out… does anyone know what date the proof has to be sent by?
Do you guys know what the numbers next to the bullet points in the advanced info are referring to ?

Last year was 51% for an A and we know they have to be a little higher this year, I'm hoping it'll be about 55% for an A. 2019 was 58% and I can't see them making it that high again, as they've lowered them every year so far
