hello, helllo, we got 50 days till first exam...geeeezz, I don't even remember when I slept let alone what an X-Ray is 🥲
I'm predicted a B/C, I'm going for an A and I'm told I can get a C. HAH. NO, TEACHERS. NO. I will defy them and get an A.

Anyway, waves and electricity are my difficulties....love struggling with year 1 content...not.
Nuclear physics, I gotta learn how to do all those calculations and stuff with...you know, i don't even know 😭

ANYWAY, my brain hurts and I don't even study as much as some people who do like 8hrs min a day, i think 6hrs is my max.
Good luck to all of us, and i'll see you closer to d-day.

I just want to confirm that for ocr Alevel physics, is it paper 1 assessed only from module1,2,3,5 and paper 2 assessed only from module 1,2,4,6? and then paper all module? I just realised it now and my school never tell me?

10 days 11 hours and 42 minutes😓😭

How you feeling??? My classmates and I were made to do a module 3 test but we got thrown off so badly cus they threw in astrophysics and electric fields force-questions and definitions. It bumped our confidence down so badddd

In know it’s way too close!!!! I am stressing tbh I don’t feel prepared at all (it’s likely just the stress talking 😅). I’m relatively confident with module 3 but with module 5 it feels very recall heavy which I struggle with remembering a little more than the mathematical parts. I’ve also got a further maths exam 2 days before so it’s going to be a fun 3 days 😭.

oh goddd i get that. Module 3 is fine for me too, but that test was just disgusting. Module 5 is yess, cus we need to remember how to link equations together, which doesn't seem hard, but sometimes you just don't be getting it aaaaghh. and so many definitions, laws and assumptions ughh. "infinity to that point". 6 Markers are my downfall tho. like byee-
I've heard about the fm exam, good luck!!!

Thanks!!! I’m glad it’s not just me that finds module 5 horrible! I’m actually feeling slightly less stressed about the fm but then they are known to throw in major curveballs and just add stuff to the spec so we’ll see how it goes 😅. Good luck with your exams!

Thank youu

i found these flashcards for astrophysics and cosmology on quizlet and they cover pretty much everything . have a look and see if u will find them helpful .
