Thoughts?

I found it quite straightforward, nothing too tricky in it.

Lol everyone got tricked by the motor question 30 degrees.

Though the questions I answered were without proper grammar.

What do you think of the question that needed you to draw a graph?

Btw - Our school removed half of Q2Q and replaced it with their own questions.

It was question that fooled a lot of people. One of those tricky ones.

I'm not too sure if i got it right.

To try jog your memory, it's the one about graphing the net force on a metal sheet free-falling in a magnetic field.

I think the Q2Q questions were quite straightforward as well. Put down everything i knew for the final 6 marker (i think it was) XD

Yep it was multiple choice. I might have been tricked.. i'm not sure.. :( Now i'm worried

Also, did anyone notice that question about selecting the different graphs for changing electric field strength, acceleration and velocity in the MC?

I think that question is incorrect..

I am pretty sure it was in the short section, I remember it ask you for the force?

I can't think of anything wrong so far after discussing the exam with people, probs lose some marks for my wording.

Nope? It seemed correct.

As long as you put in all the key words and the teachers are skimming through, you should be fine haha.

I liked that 2nd (?) MC question. The one about what time and month should the rocket be launched XD

I think I put July for that, though my reasoning was dodgy.

I concluded in the test that there were 2 possible correct answers.

Each of them had at least 1 graph wrong (the other two were plain wrong)

One of them had a changing electric field strength which isn't correct as it remains the same.
