AQA A-level Physics Paper 2 (7408/2) - 6th June 2024 [Exam Chat]

i put 0.125 will i lose a mark

also can some1 explain why 121k was wrong for the bottom question on the first page

The crms had to double, T is proportional to (crms)² so T had to multiply by 4 so u had to convert to kelvin, multiply by 4 and subtract the original temperature to get the change in temp. This comes out to 879K i think. Perhaps you accidentally used celsius instead?

did u lot get R/2 for one of the MCQ questions

what was the answer for the MCQ where it asked for the definition of epsilome nought.

It was the capacitance when 1m apart with 1m² area or smth like that. B

calm. got that

Same it was equal to C2/C1, ⅛

might be the only thing I got correct aside from question 1 (first 3 parts) and the definition for electric potential

This.
It’s like GCSE Maths where you can get approximately 60-70% of the questions wrong in the higher tier papers but still get a “strong pass” (Grade 5).
Passing whilst not knowing at least half of the content? That doesn’t sound right or logical to me despite the bell curve.
Top grade (Grade 7/A and above) when you only know just over half of the content (as in you get around half of the marks)? Doesn’t look good to me either, could be argued as worse.

Can't wait for the downfall of AQA. After 2023 and now this, I guarantee there'll be a massive drop in schools using them, no wonder considering the border-line bullying of the papers, intentionally making even the smartest students feel bad about themselves and ruining their uni offers. Almost every person I know who does physics and can afford it has needed a therapist. They are literally destroying generations of people, just for the fun of it. I will cry tears of joy on the day they go bankrupt from crimes like this.

+1

what was the definition exactly cos I don't get how it was 3 marks

absolutely, plus if the huge majority of students who sat the paper are capped at around the same marks, i’m guessing between 40-50 going off what everyone else here is saying, it’s going to be so difficult to distinguish what number of marks should be an A, B, C etc and the number of marks between achieving the grades will be tiny. meaning that A/A* students with mental health conditions who struggle in exam conditions (such as myself, i get bad anxiety and i find myself making more silly errors because of the stress) will be at a huge disadvantage even though they’re more than capable of achieving the higher grades. doesn’t sound particularly accessible like AQA claim to be
