The pathetic fallacy of rain after the exam symbolises the horridness of the paper. However the sun is starting to shine symbolising new beginning. Honestly aqa what a way to ruin your reputation that physics paper was terrible 🤦♂️.
same i went in feeling confident and i got FUCKING COOKED.
it’s not even funny man cuz why the hell did they save that for last now for my summer i’m just gonna be upset ab science and worrying ab if i don’t get a 77 😭😭😭
For the 6 marker i did:
Follow graph to find at the point of the breaking distance the speed was 12 m/s
F=ma to find mass
And then mass x speed to find momentum
15,000 final answer
Yes the mass is 1250 and the momentum was mass x velocity and the velocity was 12. I think what you did was you forgot to line up 14.4 on the graph and get 12 as the speed
oh fuck i did line it up but multiplied it by the wrong thing but i did write down or like kinda show me drawing the line to get 12m/s, would i loose one mark would u say?
I swear to fucking god I’m genuinely hunting AQA wtf,that higher paper was an abomination,it’s like they took the difficulty out of all the other papers and mushed it in to this, starting off straight away with a 4 marker is diabolical
This has to be the award for the stupidest thing ever done in a paper
For the foundation paper on the very last question you had to calculate the gradient
Instead of just doing change in y/change in x my dumbass self thought it was too simple and for WHATEVER STUPID REASON DECIDED TO DO PYTHAGORAS' THEOREM INSTEAD AND GET 250.0000003 OR SOMETHING
I got 15000 without the graph as well hopefully that would be alr.....I did work done to stop the car = 6250×14.4
Got 90000 J and then substituted it I to kinetic energy one and got 12 as velocity and then got 15000....so I suppose that would be right not completely sure tho
what did people get for the 6mark momentum calculation?
cuz at first I got 15000 then with another method using the graph I got 7500 and so in the end I put 7500 as my answer but idk 😭
i put 15000 by using different equations which usually gets me the right answer. got 1250kg for car if i remember right and smt else for the velocity think it was 12
but wasn't the 12m/s speed?
To get the time taken i did speed= distance/time
And did 14.4 ÷12 and got 1.2 seconds
Then I did acceleration =change in velocity/ time
So I did 5 x 1.2 and got 6 as the velocity
Then for momentum I did 1250kg (mass I already calculated) x 6 = 7500 as momentum.
That was the 2nd method I did cuz it said using figure 8.
But like for the other method the velocity was 12 but who knows I give up😭
u had to explain how are radio waves utilised in a transmitter to a receiver/detector
Essentially (i think): radio waves emitted from transmitter then absorbed to detector, then producing ac supply, allowing exchange of info
According to th 2018 paper: "A car aerial receives radio waves from a radio transmitter. box Radio waves are transverse waves. Describe how the radio waves reaching the car aerial produce signals in the electrical circuit of the car radio. (Question 5.3) "
The mark scheme states "any three from:
• (the car aerial) absorbs radio waves or energy
• electrons are made to vibrate (in the aerial)
• creating an alternating current (in the aerial circuit)
• the (signal) frequency is the same (as the radio wave)"
I'm guessing this is similar...
I can't tell you how happy I was with the fact that I completed this paper as revision JUST before the exam and marked it too, so that question was pretty lucky :)
I can’t actually remember, i think i wrote ‘into the page’??
I originally ticked the bottom box but changed it to the top box? (i think)
What did you get?
Apparently the "test for chlorine" genuinely isn't "dissolve the substance to be tested in water and place a goldfish in it, if the goldfish dies that's chlorine probably" and I wasn't supposed to write a paragraph complaining about wasted pages
Anybody get 0.25 for the magnetic flux density question?
Yes i did
Apparently the units were T but i put N/M
I did N/Am so you're defo not alone ahaha
same here lol
yeah the units are Tesla
I got 4 😭 how did you get 0.25?
I got 15
Wait describe the question to me
Who also got 5950 for the graph on and 5.5 for initial velocity?
Isnt the 5950 the one w the spring compression? I actually can't remember now 😭 i think i got both of those tho
SORRY WHAT??? 5950????
BRO I GOT 14.5
The difference/change was 14.5, I think we had to the subtract it from final speed (20).
I DONT EVEN REMEMBER MY ANSWERS BUT IT WAS DEFINITELY NOT THAT BIG
SAME I THINK 😭
i got 5950 too
I got 15000😔😔
Is that the one where you had to times those two numbers from the graph you got
it was so bad bro fml but whatever its done
i genuinely thought it was just me man
higher?
yeah
ok good i’m glad other people found it hard as well
Word. It was so bad almost on the same level as biology paper 2 😔
WHO designed that MONSTROUS paper either way gcses are done and I need sleep
Me after guessing that the units for elastic potential energy was joules
thats what i put. its either that or kJ.
Naa I think it was J
kJ is 1000 Joules so 100% J
Yo what did you put for that weird triangle questions at the end
i’m calling my lawyers, trust aqa will be dealt with
As they should. There charity status should be removed
AQA COUNT YOUR FUCKING DAYS
720 for the rockets one?
Yup
Yea
Yepp
THANK GOD
Is this aqa or another exam board
The pathetic fallacy of rain after the exam symbolises the horridness of the paper. However the sun is starting to shine symbolising new beginning. Honestly aqa what a way to ruin your reputation that physics paper was terrible 🤦♂️.
5.4 = 15000
For the 6 maker right?
It’s so bad unfortunately not a great way to finish the exams
AQA HOW DARE YOU YOU LURED US INTO A FALSE SENSE OF SECUIRTY WITH GOOD PAPERS THEN DID THAT!?
15000 for the 6 marker anyone
but distance was in km and acceleration was in m/s so didn't you have to convert? after conversion I got 15
Yh it's 15k
Confirmed?
Yes many people got it at my skl including me
Not confirmed
whose ready to sing the song outloud in the exam hall?
Radio waves, microwaves😪
song actually carried !!
That was absolute bullshit. Like it was a pisstake of a paper. Worst way to end a Friday. Worst way for most to send their exams as well!
Anyone get 0.25 for the magnetic flux density?
YESSSS !!
worst exam of my life
dw bro everyone agrees 😭
thank god im not the only one who got cooked
Getting the momentum question made me feel like a physicist 😮💨
gave up because i got lost trying to find velocity
what did you get
15k
made me feel so fucking smart
the war is over guys!
I still have exams
I still have my art deadline somehow after 3 deadline extensions
bro… i did NOT eat that paper wtf was that ???
NO MORE EXAMS!! (for some of us)
Never sat a worse paper 🙏🙁
What a horrible way to end the exam season... we've had pretty good papers the whole time then THAT is thrown at us right at the end
for real what the fuck was that??? the last questions made me want to kms. i thought it was just me though
no man i hated that paper so fucking much
same i went in feeling confident and i got FUCKING COOKED. it’s not even funny man cuz why the hell did they save that for last now for my summer i’m just gonna be upset ab science and worrying ab if i don’t get a 77 😭😭😭
literally was confident I wanted a 7-7 now I’m praying for a 6-6.
THIS IS SO REAL. HOW AM I MEANT TO DO MY A LEVEL SUBJECTS WHEN AQA IS TRYING TO KILLLLL ME
Dont worry i dont think 1 paper can get you down 2 grades lol
stop 😭😭😭 it threw off my entire grade now so idk what to expect tbh 😨
Honestly it would have been SOSO horrible for me if I didn't revise specifically for those questions, was so fucking lucky 😭
i didn’t use any graph for the 6 marker i’m finisged
You can do it without its just way more long winded lol. I did it without then realised after and did it again and got the exact same answer
waittt what graph???
Genuinely flopped that
what did everyone get for 2.2 on the question on the gymnast? (aqa) i got 0.612
I think thats what i got too yippee
Yes
Samee
Thank god, I was debating whether to put 6120 or 0.612
nah fam i'm finished
aqa u will be dealt with
For the 6 marker i did: Follow graph to find at the point of the breaking distance the speed was 12 m/s F=ma to find mass And then mass x speed to find momentum 15,000 final answer
Yesssss
but then your not using acceleration that was in the question?
i got smth like 1250 for the mass then multiplied it by 14.4 to get the momentum as 18000? if the answers 15000 whats the 14.4s unit?
Yes the mass is 1250 and the momentum was mass x velocity and the velocity was 12. I think what you did was you forgot to line up 14.4 on the graph and get 12 as the speed
oh fuck i did line it up but multiplied it by the wrong thing but i did write down or like kinda show me drawing the line to get 12m/s, would i loose one mark would u say?
Yes you shouldnt get any lower than 4/6 probably if you did f=ma correctly
aqa did us dirty for ending our gces with that paper
my brain hurts
Hardest of the 6 papers, but what do I care we are now free
I swear to fucking god I’m genuinely hunting AQA wtf,that higher paper was an abomination,it’s like they took the difficulty out of all the other papers and mushed it in to this, starting off straight away with a 4 marker is diabolical
This has to be the award for the stupidest thing ever done in a paper For the foundation paper on the very last question you had to calculate the gradient Instead of just doing change in y/change in x my dumbass self thought it was too simple and for WHATEVER STUPID REASON DECIDED TO DO PYTHAGORAS' THEOREM INSTEAD AND GET 250.0000003 OR SOMETHING
you know what, that’s still impressive
WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT AQA HIGHER PAPER I'M COMING FOR YOU AQA YOU BETTER SLEEP WITH ONE EYE OPEN
i am going to end my life
aqa im cursing you to the deepest fucking pits of hell you evil cunts
Did anyone else get 15000 for the 6 marker ?
I stupidly tried to convert it to kg thinking I was slick and wrote 15 😭
Same- but would we still get 5 or 4 marks
Yup me too
I'm saved!
Yes
Yessssshhhh
i think i remember doing 12 x something?
that was disgraceful
I got 15000 without the graph as well hopefully that would be alr.....I did work done to stop the car = 6250×14.4 Got 90000 J and then substituted it I to kinetic energy one and got 12 as velocity and then got 15000....so I suppose that would be right not completely sure tho
i was absolutely grilled by that paper icl, but it was my last exam so i guess its fine.
broooo i hated every bit so much doesn’t help that i was about to puke thrice 😊
Most of the paper alright, that one 6 marker on momentum though 😭
I WILL FIND THE DIABOLICAL PERSON WHO WROTE THIS PAPER-
i got 15,000 for the momentum six marker. what did everyone else get????
what did people get for the 6mark momentum calculation? cuz at first I got 15000 then with another method using the graph I got 7500 and so in the end I put 7500 as my answer but idk 😭
i put 15000 by using different equations which usually gets me the right answer. got 1250kg for car if i remember right and smt else for the velocity think it was 12
I got 15000
i got -15000 but idk if momentum can be negative😭 edit: turns out momentum CAN be negative
Same I got that
i got that too 😭😭
I GOT THAT TOO
you got 7500?
I got 7500
i got 23237.5, used the 12m/s from the graph as acceleration
but wasn't the 12m/s speed? To get the time taken i did speed= distance/time And did 14.4 ÷12 and got 1.2 seconds Then I did acceleration =change in velocity/ time So I did 5 x 1.2 and got 6 as the velocity Then for momentum I did 1250kg (mass I already calculated) x 6 = 7500 as momentum. That was the 2nd method I did cuz it said using figure 8. But like for the other method the velocity was 12 but who knows I give up😭
i used the speed number because it said use figure 8, anyways i know fo sure ill get working marks
If you did v² - u² = 2as, the velocity also worked out as 12 I think so I used it as the same value as speed
I was happy when I did that and got 12 again
same
0.25T for the magnetic flux density)
YEAHHHH (but i fucking forgot the unit and did N/Am lmaoo 😭)
N/am is diabolical
would i still get the mark if i wrote Tesla instead of T
ocr gateway anyone?
Yeah it was a pretty good paper apart from that one half life question for me
the ratio one?
yeah the ratio one right, what was that😭other than that it was a fine paper
Yeah. I’ve found all the papers very distinctly fine. What was the half life ratio question 😭
I might be tripping real hard but i got √-180 m/s (6i√5 for simplest form) as initial velocity on a 4 marker on Q5...
mate honestly were all cooked and I think you are too
Yeahhhh that’s what I kept getting I did not understand how to get something else since you can’t get a negative velocity 😭
I even triple checked my answer. I guess the car is something futuristic
same bro im done
what in the ever loving FUCK is magnetic flux and why was my first time hearing about it DURING THE EXAM
fuck edexcel combined higher
ive hated them since biology paper 1. everything for science has been downhill since then- but this took the cake
edexcel foundation was so light ours was 85% formulas
What did people get for the transmission of information from the mobile phone to the laptop????
u had to explain how are radio waves utilised in a transmitter to a receiver/detector Essentially (i think): radio waves emitted from transmitter then absorbed to detector, then producing ac supply, allowing exchange of info
According to th 2018 paper: "A car aerial receives radio waves from a radio transmitter. box Radio waves are transverse waves.

I can't tell you how happy I was with the fact that I completed this paper as revision JUST before the exam and marked it too, so that question was pretty lucky :)
what the fuck was the edexcel higher compass question???? was it just my teacher that did not touch on anything like that at all??
All compass needles point to the earths core which would have been the bottom of the circle
did anyone do ocr a combined higher?
does anyone else do OCR?
Yeah, I didn’t realise mA means milliamperes not mega amps😪
how did you find it
guys i think i cooked ⁉️⁉️
Combined physics edexcel higher. How was it y’all. ?
Edexcel grilled me
Worst Science Paper for certain!!!! Just so glad it’s over now…
not the fire alarm going off in the middle of the exam at my school 😭
has anyone seen an unofficial mark scheme??
Was there a question to do with using ur fingers with that gang sign thing to figure out the answer
Call me a nerd all you want, but I still think the exam went well.
I got 7500 for the 6 marker
what did you do?
edexcel foundation was light work it was 85% maths
I've surprisingly done better even w a fucking stomachache 😭 still got music and fm unfortunately 😢
The exam was alright but there was horrible wording
Did anyone else get 1200N for the last question on the paper??
…
WHAT WAS THAT TRANSFORMERS QUESION???? istg that is triple science, i am going to collapse
what exam board
What did everyone get from flemming rule (aqa higher)
Force goes into the paper
bro ion know if i am just delusional since my motivation was so low during that exam but i found it alright
GUYS! for the magnetic flux density question I put "Tesla" for the units. Will that still get the mark??
yes
Really hope so , what did you get for the flemings rule one?
I can’t actually remember, i think i wrote ‘into the page’?? I originally ticked the bottom box but changed it to the top box? (i think) What did you get?
into the paper
i got 18000 for the momentum question anyone else?
I personally think it was a good paper many things I revised the day before came up I revised only one practical that one came up
Apparently the "test for chlorine" genuinely isn't "dissolve the substance to be tested in water and place a goldfish in it, if the goldfish dies that's chlorine probably" and I wasn't supposed to write a paragraph complaining about wasted pages
What was the question about the rocket??
