OCR Physics A - Electrons, Waves and Photons; Advice!

Hey,

It seems that I am struggling with OCR Physics unit two and I was wondering if anybody doing the course or has done already can throw some advice my way.
Having already sat the first part of the course (mechanics) I was feeling confident but unit two is on another level.

Thanks in advance :smile:

Really the bit that makes it hard for me it the circuit questions, because the waves and photons are all about using a couple of equations that are the same every year (and are in the formula book too)
Personally I found the mechanics paper to be hard, but obviously that comes down to personal opinion. I think for unit 2 its just about seeing what equations to use and when to use them. To help with this do LOADS of past papers. Eventually you run out of them, but the questions each year are generally the same.
All you can do for the exam on the 4th is to hope that the exam follows the same style quetions as the previous ones.
