Did mine, nothing worth discussing, though, except that I'd warn you not to do anything with light unless you have really good equipment. Experiment basically didn't work.

Light absorption as a function of particle size and concentration of clay in water (turbidity, I guess..)

They tend to reward you for being a good essay writer. Only reason I got a B.

Do you have a topic yet?

... and i also heard that she graded past years phy. EE with A and they all got much lower in the end :s:

oh well does any of you have some advise/hints/comments or so?

hey, just finished mine today!! had the same kind of problem with my teacher though... I'm sure you'll be fine, just present it all well and write a good abstract. the physics is only /12 whilst general stuff is worth 24 marks!
Gd luck everyone, hope we don't all fail... :redface:

A lot of people seem to be doing tennis racquets, though (including one at my school in my year) so be careful; the examiners might be getting bored :P
