Glad to know that this thread is finally here!!!
How's revision everyone?
Post any questions about AQA physics on here!

How are you meant to set out the coursework section? I was meant to hand it in last week but I have no idea what to do and the two physics teachers aren't very helpful on the matter. If it's any help for my practical I did about pendulums and changing the length of string to measure period

Does anyone have any tips on how to revise for Section B? I just did Section A and just wondering what sort of thing I should be studying, like the topics that were in sect A or percentage uncertainity, that sort of thing. :smile:

Some people will know, they will ahve already done it. Report them, they will lower your grade by freely giving information. Bit useless though because the mods don't ban them, so they're free to keep punishing us (AND THEMSELVES).

Section B is always a similar experiment to your section A, sometimes even the same experiment but just with different results, so you know what a correct curve will be if yours was incorrect or something like that.
Section B always asks you to complete a table of results (derived data columns or something) and then finish plotting their graph. Usually the gradient comes up here as well, I guess it would be good to see what the gradient should represent.

For AQAm you would be told what area it will be on about a week beforehand.

Giving others ISA answers or more info than they're allowed highers their grade unfairly, which then leads to ridiculous grade boundaries. Every year, around only 8 lost marks drops you down to a B, with 15 bringing you down to U. This is only the case in ISAs, which also just so happen to take place at random times, making cheating easy. We basically have two duff, fake units in each full science A Level screwing everyone.

The other normal exams have had very healthy grade boundaries, which tells you that a lot of people are suspiciously aceing the ISAs then tanking when met with real exams because they're lazy or badly taught, while everyone else does unspectacularly on the ISAs and does as well as would be expected of them in the proper exams.

Just to bring this thread back to life! - Any one want to predict what we might get for the 6 marker -
June 2013 - Hadrons+Leptons
Jan2013 - ohmic conductor

There have been a lot on electricity and only 2 on 3 on quantum!!

what is superconductivty and how is it useful it is
or
affect of the strong nuclear force , weak nuclear force on particles

Is superconductivity even in the AQA specification still, I couldn't find it anywhere + there were two changes I found on the spec although they weren't stated (I think), anyone know what they are?
