Cowen Physics Exam Packs: These are great revision. He will be going through the mock depth paper in the half term so don't forget to check out his videos on YouTube.

Hi,
I am doing the depth paper in June as well, and breadth did't go as well as I would have liked I did all the past papers prior to the breadth paper, as supplied by cowen physics. But, I still didn't know what I was doing. I was wondering whether you guys could give me advice on ow to approach the depth paper in a much more prepared and thoughtful manner? How are you able to do well in the paper?

Thanks :smile:))
Is there a list of the practicals we could be asked about anywhere?
How are people going to go about revising for depth?

please correct this to 9th of june
Has anyone got a good method to revise for this exam? I'm most likely dropping physics, but still want to achieve a decent grade for AS.

Technocrat notes are pretty bad, you push their app quite a bit. You sponsored by them lol?

just because topics came up on the breadth doesn't mean they wont come up in the depth.
Was there any materials stuff on the breadth paper?

None that I can remember, perhaps in the MCQ's.

Yeah, I can't remember any either, nor moments, or much on waves 1 stuff.

Really hoping I can perform in this exam
I feel like they're going to put a lot of emphasis into quantum physics and big experiments ( double slit; measuring Young's Modulus).

Yeah my predictions ( looking at breadth too )

. Youngs double slit
. Free fall of G (idk i just feel it)
. Moments question
. Projectile maybe
. Photoelectric effect

theres so much to cover why would they repeat?

You can assume that they won't repeat anything but if topics are repeated then you're going to be in an unfortunate and avoidable position. Personally, I don't think they're going to be putting big marks on questions that have been covered a decent amount, but until we sit the exam, we can't tell.

We may sort of get a hint from the OCR biology paper and could see if there's a chance of repetition being on the depth paper from the breadth papers.
