Does anyone have any good methods for revising? I've only been doing past papers so far and flash cards for key definitions

Nuclear fusion is when 2 small nuclei combine to form a nucleus of larger mass and nuclear fission is when an atoms is split by a neutron which produces 2 nuclei + energy

I recommend checking out Mr. Mitchell Physics on YouTube for clear explanations of concepts especially electricity. Also, using Past Papers By Topic can help you focus on specific areas for practice.

Here are the links:

Hi everyone how did you find the physics exam? I’m not sure like I think I’ve passed but there was such a big mix of questions and 15 questions instead of the normal 14! I’m glad there wasn’t any experiment questions tho mostly equations

I wrote something like leaning forward to make his body more streamlined/aerodynamic

I said air resistance so wear something tight to the body as this will reduce drag, and i also said that they would make the tiers smoother so less friction
