How did the IAL paper go? And what did you find difficult?
I found the projectile four mark question difficult to expand on despite it being an easy concept.

Agree it was horrendous. Felt like that there was very little actual physics- or physics from a different specification!!!!

The questions ask for calculation are very easy but for explanation are totally evil= =

Quite decent except for the question based on projectile motion. What did you find difficult in the paper? And what do you think the grade boundary would be?

Same. alll the past papers i did i was dropping single digits in marks. understanding all the questions and then this exam comes along with the most vague and ambigous questions. For some reason i felt like simple question i would usually understand i did not. Did anyone work out how to do the one with the rowing boat crossing the river at a speed of 1.5ms-1
when the river was going at 1.1ms-1.

Basically you draw the 1.1 ms-1 horizontally and draw the 1.5ms-1 to the left of it at an angle of 115 degrees then draw the line from the 2 points measure this and you should get resultant velocity and measure the angle to horizontal on the right of the triangle
