I wouldn't be surprised if diffraction comes up this year, especially a question where you have to draw the waves go through a gap of some size.

I'm so worried for P7, as I've literally had to teach it all to myself.

Same!! The one I'm most worried for :frown:

Any P7 predictions?

What is the lowest you can get in the three chemistry exams and the controlled assessment to get an a* overall? (also biology and physics)

You need 360/400 UMS, so on average, 90 UMS in each. The boundary for 90 UMS changes each year for each exam and assessment, so it depends.

i mean individual grades on each of the papers (like raw mark)

Anyone got a copy of the p7 2016 paper? If not, anyone know what the 6 marker were?

Computer controlled telescopes and retrograde motion. If these don't come up, then OCR are toying with us.

Yeah I think it's likely. Only as 2 markers though as I feel there's not a lot to say about them.
In terms of 6 markers I'm thinking:
Solar eclipses
Curtis-shapely debate
Life cycle of a star/nuclear fusion

Computer controlled telescopes and using local/remote telescopes is possible. It is the only part in P7.5 that has never been tested. Although all of those six markers have come up before, I reckon those topics will definitely come up, but I am doubting whether they would be the 6 markers; I prefer to just predict topics. I think that the moon will definitely come up (e.g. lunar cycle or lunar eclipse). Diffraction is also a possibility. E = mc^2 might come up; it has come up almost very year. You can expect there to be questions on gas laws.

I do agree with you about retrograde motion being a 2 marker. We will probably have to explain it using a diagram or just state what it is.

They could always add some data analysis to retrograde motion to get it to a 6 marker.

Is there anything else they could ask about the moon except the moon phases and lunar days?

I agree with those predictions - solar eclipses will be how they occur and why they happen infrequently; life cycle of a star I could see going two ways - either the full cycle like formation of a protostar and either high mass/low mass. Or asking how mass affects life cycle of a star.

Reckon we'll get something on the HR diagram - maybe why supernovas aren't on there. Lenses was also badly answered last year so I think we'll get something on those.

In terms of repeating 6 markers - the B7 exam had 2 6 markers very similar to precious years, the blood components one was a foundation one a while back and timber harvesting was last years
