    Does anyone have any physics practical exams / past papers which only assess practical knowledge (no module knowledge)?

    Does anyone have any past papers of prac exams where content knowledge is not assessed and only skills are included (i.e doing the prac, validity, uncertainties, graphing, reliability, estimating using the line of best fit, etc. etc.)? I'm doing an assessment like this soon (no content assessed...

I'm personally more of a science/math person, meaning that I will need to complete depth studies for two of my subjects (physics and chemistry). To be honest, depth studies are my weakest...

    Chemistry Practical Assessments

    Hi Guys, I've been looking at the Year 12 assessment schedule and at my school the prac is worth 40% of internal marks. This year for chemistry, because our school was shut down, our practical assessment task was just at home and we had 2 weeks to do it, so I'm not too familiar with how it...
