Im hearing that the old examiners for last year got fired, so we may have a nicer exam, potentially, but revise hard and expect the worst to come up.

I've heard that the plan is to hopefully make the exams more student friendly? Questions broken down more into smaller marks and not paragraphs of information for one question. Fingers crossed they follow through.

What are you guys expecting to come up? I think they will try put stuff like moments, photoelectric effect and materials since they didn't come up on the last exam.

Yeah it’s gotta be moments and materials, just as long as it’s not like the 2023 paper 🙏
