If they could stop writing questions over 3 pages, that would be great.
literally😭😭 how am i meant to do the question if i’m flicking three pages back just to find what its on about
I don't think they actually give a shit that their papers are inaccessible when they've just given us that paper 2
as someone who sat the 2023 papers - this addition would have been really useful since all 3 of the questions in section A i could not relate to any of my classes XD. Astrophysics part was brilliant though and is what bagged me the A*😁
That's amazing!What were your tactics. I saw 2023 paper and it was devastating!
yeah i had the turning points module at the end but they were taking the piss with the stroboscope question.. luckily got an A
@@tobyharrison5468how did you revise?
@@chaska8144 get a revision buddy, watch some of these videos on topic you, or your friend, aren't very good at - and we'd usually do past homework or some past papers. Mark eachother's and help eachother with our indivudal strengths. If you can't find a friend to do it with, I really recommend attending some extra classes if you have gaps in your timetable. Hope this helps :)
@@user-vf7fw6hv3t the key with AQA is to highlight things in the syllabus that have never come up before. For example in paper 2 me and my classmates realised that the proof for the kinetic theory model had never come up before in old exam papers so we revised it a lot and it was the first question in 2023 paper 2 ;)
Man I remember binging these videos last year, really brings me back and massive thanks for helping me and other students make it through the storm that was 2023's exam
This will be invaluable, thanks for the news
Hey! A bit off topic here, but I wanted to say thanks for the help. I used to binge watch your videos back in 2019 when I was preparing for A-levels. Currently doing my postgrad in Adv Chemical Engineering. I'm enjoying it but I do miss those simpler times 😂. Anyway, once again thanks for the help all those years ago.
Glad I could help! They only seem simple in hindsight - I hope it's all going well with your course.
Now they just made paper 2 questions effectively paper 3 😭
Yep absolute nightmare
I did these papers last year. The 3A was like nothing I'd seen before! Hardest one since the new exams started. I was feeling so prepared after using all available resources and your papers! It was so disheartening it was horrible to feel so lost in an exam I'd worked so hard for. Glad they're doing something about it.
Same i was mastering all practical ppq then the real exam, I didn't understand any question
Just to put into perspective how hard paper 3a is, I did my exams last year and got an A overall, but a D somehow in paper 3a. And no it was not a bad day of exam, because we did paper 3b (turning points) at the same time in which got an A*.
I did the a level last year. Paper 1 and 3 was a joke compared to paper 2. Paper 3 was my last exam and I genuinely felt like I could have gotten a C overall just because of that exam. Ended up getting an A* tho somehow
I scored double on Paper 1 compared to Paper 2. Paper 3B was the only paper where I got marks similar to what i got in mocks. The irony being in the mocks that Paper 3B was my worst paper. Them papers were awful. Never. Again.
How could they get this so wrong though? Shouldn't this have been evident beforehand if the paper was checked properly? After all AQA is the largest Physics exam board in the country and ought to have enough resource to assess the paper accurately before release.
That is what so many teachers asked as well!
I did the aqa last year and it was so grim, somehow got an A out of it but jeez it was hard. Paper 1 and 3 were terrible
Bro how did you revise?
@@drneutro369 I’d watch a video on a topic then do all the past paper questions do to with that topic. Don’t worry about how long u take as u have ages in the exams just try to get quality content down . Literally just repetition and learning what the questions wants via the mark schemes
@@StockerEventing where did you find the past paper questions to do with that topic?
Why *this* change which is just a sop? Why have they not listened to feedback that the questions were too difficult/demanding/time-consuming to access?
grade boundary sounds like further mechanics in further maths 9231 - 25/50 for A and 21/50 for B in November 2020 and 24/50 and 18/50 for B in November 2021. A went from 24/50 to 34/50 from November 2021 to June 2022.
further mechanics is that low? Thank god
Looking back at last year, that 2023 series really killed my enthusiasm for Physics. Managed to get an A overall, but gosh I am happy AQA decided to change things for the better for the following years
im planning to sit physics next year, i work from home independently using your videos and have already covered a fair range of a level topics (as i did do half of yr12 in sixth form before leaving for personal reasons). im not sure which exam board to enter myself into, as i dont know if it does matter, and if it does matter what are they key pros and cons of each? for a bit extra background and information i achieved a grade average of 8 at gcse, and am also doing a level maths (sitting this year) and then physics , psychology and further maths the following year. i was an a* student at sixth form in all my subjects and have a deep interest in physics and maths outside of school. i hopefully want to go to oxford or cambridge but we shall see how that goes. my main interests are in maths and theoretical physics as well as astrophysics. and yeah just wanted some feedback and help on deciding. thank you in advance for if you get back to me :)
If you don’t want a difficult time I would actually recommend just not going for AQA, they’ve historically had the more difficult exams out of the main 3 exam boards
@@frasermclennan1944 you think? the only other thing is from some light research the only 2 exam boards with lots of resources and stuff to learn from are ocr and aqa. (for physics) but there seems to be much more aqa stuff than ocr? unless u have an exam board in mind and full course resources you can direct me to?
If you can't even identify the experiment it's linking too, do you really have much of a shot at answering the question to begin with?
When you actually look at each individual question it can be answered - but there is a lot of new information to read about new experiments when you’re doing it under exam conditions.
@@PhysicsOnline ah ok, yet i still see why you said that I won't really change too much in terms of difficulty, just seems more like a plaster than a proper fix up. 2/3 of the cohort not even being able to begin to answer a question is just nuts.
@@geezer1024AQA really messed up last year. Paper 1 and 2 were just as hard too. Students couldn’t catch a break.🤣
@@zigzagnemesist5074 Did my GCSEs last year, I think after 2-3 easy years exam boards were just out for blood, being as harsh as can be. I really hope things restabilise for the current year and for the years after . Still cannot take my foot off the gas when it comes to physics revision though 🤣
how do you think this will affect the grade boundaries??? is it suddenly going to be super high
It’s very hard to tell until students have sat the exam. I just hope this year that the questions are easy to access to give everyone a fair chance.
You can normally tell if you go on the student room straight after the exam is over. The people on there are some of the smartest students in the country so if they are complaining about the exam then chances are that it was very difficult for everyone else too and the grade boundaries will be low. If they found it “easy” then grade boundaries will likely be standard, i.e similar to the 2019 grade boundaries.
same I just ask straight a* students how they felt about the exam. that should give u a pretty good idea of what the grade boundaries are gonna be@@zigzagnemesist5074
which paper is best to start with when the time starts?
From my experience last year. It is best to start with the option module
Sorry, what are the differences between all the papers? 1 2 3? Why was 3a different?
AQA Paper 3A is about experimental skills. 1 and 2 were more standard and assessed the topics taught during the course. The second part of Paper 3 is about the optional topic.
@@PhysicsOnline so paper 3 is about things you can't really specifically "revise" for? You just need to have a good core understanding of physics and apply it?
@@Gabriel-zd8iy you just need to know the practicals for that paper
@MS-nb2zg alright thanks 👍👍
what changed??
They'll provide you with more context in paper 3A. Good news, but nothing groundbreaking.
Hi sir can you help me with phusics
Is ths for just paper 3A?
Yes it is, just for this paper
Ah, Thank you. @@PhysicsOnline 👍
Do jee next
jee is an iq test , there r millions and millions of indians who sit it , either u have worked hard enough or u got a high IQ , otherwise just pray to God ,or ur just going to fail tbh. Thats how it goes like every single year
@@gandola362 it is about working hard and you need guidance if you have high iq you can crack it but if you need good rank you need to work hard
@@Animeabhay-tw9fc so literally exactly what I said 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@gandola362 no you said if you have high iq you can crack it. It’s hard to crack on your high iq you need problem solving skills which comes from hard work
@@gandola362have u done the jee?
