My 23rd - luckily I like physics so it isn't much of a drag.

I usually do to! Loved P7 when learning it but it's making my eyes go wonky, lmao. Think I've spent too much time indoors this exam season. Can't wait till Summer!

Lol! That urghh literally describes life right now when I looked at that book. Took one look at it and decided to kick back and procrastinate until tomorrow..

And 25?! You're nearly there, get through this! :yep:

I started to lose motivation for exams just before the 7s started :biggrin:

It doesn't help either that the last time I looked at P7 was more than a month ago! I've completely forgotten everything which is making revision for this exam so much longer arghh :frown:

I've written up naked-eye astronomy so now I need to start lenses... at least that's quite interesting. Does anyone have a feeling that P7 might be quite nice on Monday?

No, to be honest.

Is this the last exam out of the whole exam series does anyone know? No-one that I know has got any exams after this, nor have I seen anyone on TSR speak about having one after this?

For OCR, there's a few more exams at our level on the 24th but they're all fairly unpopular. AQA has a few RS exams, otherwise that seems to be it.

I've seen the specimen paper and that is quite nice but the june 2013 one isn't :lol:

it depends on what topics they focus on tbh, provided they don't reuse to many topics from last years paper i think it'll be quite nice :smile:

For Cepheid Variables, if a star has a high observed brightness and a long pulse period, how are you supposed to determine how far away it is?

For C7, my teacher gave everyone loads of past questions from the old specification and I looked through them the night before - quite a bit of what they contained contained came up in the C7 exam (activation energy, catalysts, energy changes etc) so I'm trying to find some for the old P7 exam.

To be honest, I just feel like saying 'f*** it' to this exam. It's my last one and I couldn't care less about the topic :noway:

Heheh at my school we didn't get taught the 7's because our teachers ran out of time with the controlled assessments ._. So for all of the 7's I have been teaching my self everything two days before. D< And physics is really painful, I gave up for today I think. XD

Oh, that's pretty cool :biggrin:

i might do the same, i would have for C7 but for some reason i have this idea that they had harder questions back then- any truth in that? I'll try a few tomorrow i think, how you doing with P7?

Ooooorrrr, it's you last and you're gonna go out with all guns blazing, revision guides squirming and physics rejoicing that it'll never have to encounter you again: the one that 'got' it :wink:
