Looking for a top grade?

Just one day to go.

Wondering what topics to concentrate on?

Consider the following:

Electromagnetic Induction has appeared on past exam papers on the following years:

2011 —

2010 —

2009 —

2008 no.8

2007 12 (c)

2006 no.11 {5/8 of a long question}

2005 12 (b)

2004 12 (c)

2003 12 (d)

2002 12 (c)

That’s right – it’s appeared every year from 2002 to 2008 but not for the last 3 years – don’t go into the exam without knowing it back to front and upside down. The document which contains all past questions on this topic together with the worked solutions can be found on the revision page of thephysicsteacher.ie.

How about The Electron?
Let’s take a look:

2011 —

2010 no.9

2009 no.8

2008 no.11{5/8 of a long question}

2007 —

2006 12 (d)

2005 12 (d)

2004 no.9

2003 no.9

2002 no.9

So most years it’s a full question, but hasn’t appeared last year at all. Same advice therefore – see all questions and solutions on the revision page of the website.

Particle Physics comes up every year – this year was the 75th anniversary of the Cockroft and Walton experiment – pay particular attention to past questions on this topic.

In fact for a full overview of all questions likely to appear this year (tomorrow!) you could do worse than check out the following:

And remember – expect the unexpected. If something comes up that you haven’t seen before then just deal with it. Welcome to the real world!

And good luck with it 🙂
