guys what do you think will come up? predictions so far from people i know:
-forces, turning effects of forces, and movement
-deffo electricity
-waves - maybe light waves or the em spectrum
-energy transfer
-radioactivity, maybe the uses of alpha, beta and gamma rays
-something about magnetism i wasnt really paying attention
-and then a graph to draw and like answer questions about
what do you think will come up? and do you think it'll be harder/easier than chem/bio?

I'm hoping for some easy electromagnetism, loads and loads of waves, refraction, moments, basic forces, hopefully not space... You?
I've also got my worst of the four ancient Greek papers that morning (kill me)

I'm literally dreading it. Physics is my worst science, and so if it follows the trend of "let's not ask any actually science, just make them do guesswork" I will fail. I hate "suggest why" questions...

literally nothing makes sense in physics.Omgggggggggg good luck! I have business that morning too so I'll be dead...

I still dont get this orbital force ****, like how asteroids maintain their orbit, if that comes up, i swear to god!!!

SAME. PHYSICS IS MY WORST and I was counting on bio to bump me up, but that went to hell. I hate electromagnetism its so hard and annoying

Best of luck with business

In our unit test for that, literally everyone got a C, well, our physics teacher doesn't do c*ap either.

Orbital force (may be wrong but this is what I think):
As the sun has a larger mass than comets, it has greater gravitational pull, which means it attracts the comets so that they orbit the sun?
There's something in my notes about 'attractive force' but that sounds made up...Not sure

"Here is an old weight. It says it's 100g. Somebody weighs it. Oops, it's actually 98g. Is there something wrong with the scale?"
That's meant to be easy but I still got it wrong. I wish it was just equations and definitions all the way through... *sigh*

dude we've had like 3 physics teachers this year and we didn't learn anything cuz they couldn't get us one proper bloody teacher

You know those terrible questions they set that are aimed at like E grades but are actually deceptively difficult? I hate them. Once I did a question something like:

I go to the British school in Jakarta, so it costs like 30k, and all my chem+physics teachers are doing, is letting us copy of definitions off powerpoint slides, last year the teachers were way better, got an A* in the mock without studying and this year an A, seems like physics is not gonna be the expected self-runner

the funny thing is, that all our good teachers left, cuz they apparently lowered the salaries, so now we get these teachers who were probably unemployed for like 5 years and now came to this school to at least have a job, (although Jakarta is pretty bad to live&work).

me too, good o'l cie, especially in maths, where they say that an a/a* in edexcel is a high c in CIE
The only easy CIE exam imo is Indonesian, they tested a new past paper concept, so it was so easy that you have to be almost ******ed to not get at least a B.

Gosh that sounds bad for maths (I did Edexcel! But I am taking OCR additional maths as well which is quite a bit harder).
