OCR B: Advancing Physics - G494 (Rise and Fall...) 24/1/2012

Haha! This made me laugh when I came across it Rachael just casually browsing instead of revising, looking for other haters of that STUPID TEXTBOOK!

I'm doing this. I'm really confused about something and was hoping someone would help me.

When part b) of a question requires you to use something that you previously calculated in part a) do you use the rounded value from part a) or the more precise value. By using the two different values causes a difference in rounding hence losing mark. I've seen both used but not sure what to do in the exam?!

Thanks in advance!

I haven't seen marks lost because of this - normally they allow you to use either and then in the mark scheme they give both or a range (ie get between 8x10⁶-9x10⁶).

+1 - The mark scheme always takes this into account.

I'm quite looking forward to this exam. Other than learning the equations, the content of this unit is quite interesting.

I can get the june 2011 paper if it would help anyone? Maybe even a markscheme.v

if you could post the mark scheme and the paper that would be amazing! I've run out of new spec papers now and i want to do a final one before the exam

Just wondering who's taking this exam and how they feel about it

How's the revision going?

I have a paper copy if that helps? :L no sorry, can't find it anywhere!

Hm does anyone have the June 2011 paper?

Yes I think its on my school's site - leave me an email address and I'll get it to you if you sill want it!

Should be in cyber space by now!
