Hey Everyone :D
How are all the candidates preparing Physics Unit 3B exam next week. I'd really appreciate it if you share some of your tips and advice especially if you've already taken this paper before :)
Than you in advance :)

Anyone got any idea?

hmmm...i simply took an unseen recent pastpaper and solved it with strict time limits in exam conditions...like if only 1h 20min are allowed for the exam....i will try solving it in 1h and then check it from the marking scheme...i will highlight areas in which i appear to be weak and try concentrating on them...i will then solve the same pastpaper again in 1h and check it again...as i check, i give myself marks....i will then solve the paper again until i get 100% in that paper....i also download the written alternative to practical paper specification for intenational centres from the official Edexcel website....u can find it there once u search for it....and then look into it what we have to know for the paper...try solving each and every paper in the way i suggested above and make yourself stronger in areas in which u appear to be weak....read the practicals in the textbook also...what else can u do? anything u have a doubt about or are weak in, just revise it and revise it well....i hope it helps...let us wait for the other members of SF preparing for this paper reply to ur qn...pray for me..

Well since Im solving 2008+ I have limited number of past papers, so I'll go over some internet notes. I found AS Edexcel Chemistry -Alternative to practical notes, Now Im searching for Physics. If you guys have any, can you post it up here? Like what should we know, the precautions, the instruments, the practicals we should concentrate on and stuff. I feel I'm really unprepared :(

Don't worry about Unit 2 there is enough time for you to finish , read the book and do past papers for Unit 2.
As for Physics Unit3B
check this thread for some notes and sites that could be of some help :)

Hmm for Question 3 ,the answer for a] is C and for b] is D
Q.4]
It's mentioned that the diode is just conducting that means it's forward bias which is why we neglect B and D ... so the answer is either A or C ... we neglect A since it's already conducting and we want the diode that is just conducting and how did I know which is which , well in C the battery is a fixed battery which indicates that it's conducting already ...as for A it looks like a potential divider.
I hope you got it.
