Title: PHYSICS PAPER 42 THRESHOLD
Post by: Gaz on May 28, 2010, 08:39:22 am: What do you people think the threshold is going to be for the Physics 42? Please do not discuss the paper yet. Thanks.

The section B is so difficult, but section A is better
so the threshold should be about 60 for A(lower than normal a little), and about 52 for B(as normal as past)

im praying that signal attenuation is in there....

I think the formulas used are pretty common

Post by: AndrewCedric on May 28, 2010, 10:39:51 am: I think the threshold is around 66.

This was a little bit harder than usual BUT overall its still not too difficult.

Section B is Easy.

Section A is a little bit tricky at Explaining stuffs.
If you got 50 for section A and 20 for Section B, Its a guaranteed A.

Boost the possibility with paper 5 guys !!! ;D ;D ;D

That must A, no threshold can be higher than 70%
I have the same feeling as you, the questions in section b is also easy if you did past papers
check you message and i want to discuss the last question with you

i usually wait till the end to memorize the formulas, which didnt work this time. i couldnt remember A=lambda*N and so lost 4 marks... :-\

Post by: ilmarien on May 28, 2010, 02:59:27 pm: I REALLY hope that the threshold is extremely low, because I couldn't even finish the paper. Not enough time! :-X I'm extremely slow at doing physics. I couldn't even finish any of the AS papers last October/November.

how about when you practice with past papers?
don't be so nervous...

I'm also slow when doing the past papers, but not as slow as yesterday. I think I left about 20 marks blank. :'(
