Senior Physics Challenge 2026
How did we find it guys? I thought the questions were harder than last year's paper, but hopefully the grade boundaries are lower this year.

Ngl this was 50/50 paper
Jammed on few q
but overall pretty good
But quite alot of people said it was difficult
So probably 25/50 for gold?

Did you know how to do questions 4/5 for the mcq. I didn't really get them.

Q4
Work out the initial momentum
Then equate that to the final momentum to work out the velocity
Cant use energy conservation as there is rotational KE(loss of ke)

Now that the competition date is long over (13 days past) can anyone show me the paper? im in year 11 but im kind of an 'advanced' student and i'd love to try the paper and itll be great experience/practise for the harder olympiads (i've done all other available SPC papers) and my school wont give me access because they dont want to register with bpho yet! It would be greatly appreciated!!!

Has anyone had results yet? I was hoping end of March, but now looks like late April.
