another manc! ^

well i think you should deff revise history if its tomorrow, and my friends who do B.S. say its pretty easy, so not much revision is needed?

D'oh... describing all the magnetic things is going to be a drag... I just wish I could copy + paste "Like charges/poles repel" and "unlike charges/poles attract"

Yeah I'm barely revising for BS tonight. And I've got additional maths.. which is a nightmare I don;'t think i'll bother revising for

Zen, are you doing OCR Spec B History - apparently its all source based so you don't need to revise that much! I'm going to start my Physics and a bit of French now, so that I'm not too stressed tomorrow!

Red shift?!!? What is that!? Aaaahhhh I so need to revise >_<

im not 100% sure but isnt red shift to do with galaxies?

the closer the point is to the red end of the spectrum the further away the galaxy is.

and the "red shift" shows that the galaxies are moving away at increasing velocity because the point is moving faster to the red end.

its all to do with the BIG BANG THEORY, that everything "blew up" and since then everything has been moving away from each other at increasing speeds.

sorry if my explanation is a bit weak...

Photocopiers are in the spec, as are smoke removers, or something. Read up on them, they've not come up recently!

Exam tomorrow!

Exam tomorrow!

I know!

What are the average grade boundaries for Physics? 80%?

Does anyone know what percentage of the total mark the calculations make up? Let's say for some reason you get all the calculations right and nothing else what would you get?

If there is anyone who has done the past papers for the last few years, is there any noticable topic that has not come up that is likely to come up tomorrow? Also anything that has come up every year? Thanks! :smile:

Argh, I'm so annoyed. I did a table yesterday with all the sections and which came up in which exam, and it's gone now, so I can't remember it :frown:

. There's always basic electronics, and I think something from one or both of the last 2 electronics thing. THough there's never been anything about the price of electricity recently, with kilowatt hours etc, so I hope that'll come up.

I'm guessing its 20-30%, just remember they try to be clever and make you convert units so look out for those.

Would anyone care to explain transistors to me? :smile:

How much do we need to know about them?

Ahhhh! Any tips from anyone? Just thought I would bump this up a bit! :smile:

Oh dear... I've only revised half of electricity, but I'm quite confident with the equations - which topics should I focus on now???

Apparently photocopiers and smoke detectors are likely to come up... Not sure where everyone's getting that from, but I guess it's worth looking over :smile:

I've just got a bit more of the spec to go through... then I'm going to do some past paper questions... Anyone else who really can't be bothered revising?

Aww man, I'm predicted an A* got 30/30 in c/w but my tutor reckons i'll get a B :s-smilie:
