You could also post a recommendation of the CGP text book for AQA Physics on your first post.
I have that book and I find it extremely useful and I think its best if everyone knows about it
A2-Level Physics for AQA A: Student Book
Sample PagesThanks for your help - are you prioritizing PHYA4 over PHYA5 at the minute or vice-versa?

What about you?
How're balancing it between the two Units? -

For the moment I have to prioritise PHYA5 over PHYA4 because I've got MOCK exams when I come back after Easter
What about you?

Does anyone have access to a topic by topic set of questions for this exam?

Do we need to know the Spectral Class table (ie OBAFGKM and their colour, tempterature and absorbtion lines, respectively) by heart?

Has anyone been revising / doing Astrophysics? I've been revising it and it just feels like there is so much to take in. After the revision I did yesterday it felt like I had read through and embraced the bible twice over.

That said, my teacher has advised spending more time memorising the bulk of the other sections in the astro course, as it's unlikely they'll ask us to regurgitate the table in the exam. Knowing the colours, a description of how temperatures and abundance of hydrogen changes through the classes is more likely than learning exact figures.
That said, he could be wrong!

Has anyone else began doing past papers yet?
If so, how are you finding them? -

I am, and I agree there is a lot to take in. How are you with calculations with lenses and standard candles (I am finding these difficult)

Did one this morning, skipping the bits in astro I haven't been taught yet. It went okay, although I was pretty rusty in most areas! You?

Did one this afternoon, june 2014 (both parts). Also rusty in too many areas. The mark schemes can be quite tricky

Hi. I'm new to the thread. I'm doing A Level maths, physics and chemistry. My usual revision tactic is to do practice questions then just unrelentlessly hit past papers. However, as most of you will have discovered, for PHYA5 there are only 5. How is everyone handling this? Does anyone have a link to some old but relevant AQA PPQ's? Also, I have the Nelson Thornes textbook, and I'm rally pleased with it coupled with the fact that it contains many old but relevant PPQ's.
Furthermore, I saw a few pages back that two people were asking about how you get the A*; you need 80% over AS and A2 overall, with 90% average at A2, so yes, you could've had a B last year, 90%< and get the A*!
Finally, my teacher has yet to start turning points as our optional module? Is this bad??
