i also want to know some stuff like .. for chem do we need to know organic chemistry for paper 6 or moles or other chapters like that ?? and for physics will there be radiation topic coming ?  like those isotops and half lifes .. and if any other u guys know

my teacher told me that for sure in physics the radioactivity topic isn't coming. as for chemistry you have to and i mean you have to know the test for ions by heart (the precipitation reactions). i dunno about bio but i guess anything from the syllabus involving experiments may come.

Bio: there is always an accurate drawing(magnification) question. its harder 2 predict 4 bio. the questions arent usually repeated 4m year 2 year...sorry.

Chemistry: labeling apparatus, reading off thermometers/measuring cylinders, something related to electricity, drawing graphs and answering questions on rates of reaction, identifying cations/anions, and they usually throw in a random (sometimes related to acids+bases) question at the end.

Physics: basically experiments u would've carried out in class (not that we did many at my school) ;p

hope this helps ppl. n pls dnt only study the stuff i mentioned here, u neva know, those posh idiots up @ cambridge might decide 2 throw in sumthing extra just 2 piss us off. Good Luck every1!

well i guess ican help u guys out ...

me and my friend sat and looked thru all the paper 6 years from 2003 to the latest and this is wat we got --

Physics :
1) measurement and errors
2) Circuits and symbols
3) Constand variable ( like if there is an experiment some variables are supposed to be constant wat are they and etc.)
4) Temperature
5) Mirrors and lens
6) Proportional
7) Latent and heat loss
8) Time - pendulum always asked
9) Variable resistor
10) Rate of cooling

Chemistry:
1) Apparatus
2) Rate of reaction
3) Graph
4) Experimental observation ( like the electrolysis quests. )
5) Identification of ions *** ( important )
6) Test for gas/ organic chemistry
7)Experimental improvement ( eg. if u need to change ONE experimental thing without changing the apparatus .. that kinda thing )
8) Experimental technique ( so far they asked crystallization, titration, test for catalyst, chromatography, pH and electroplating )

hope these help ... i dont have for bio cause i dont take it :)

one thng u can b sure about is that in P6's, no extended syllabus content comes 4 any of the sciences.
so 4 chem, 4 xample, da entire natural n synthetic polymers in da supplemnt, wont cum 4 P6.

how is the test for PH done ? in the experimental Techniques ?
and wat are the experimental improvements ?

u can test pH using litmus paper or universal indicator solution
improvements can be using a colorimeter (this is related to universal indicator)
or a more accurate way of measuring pH is using a pH meter

pH experiment is done by phenophalen or by methylorange ..... and experimental improvements are the questions like ..... eg: O/N 04 P6 Q4g) Suggest ONE change you could make to the apparatus used in the experiments to obtain more accurate reuslts

that whats experimental improvement is :D

I think the best way to study for paper 6 exams is solving pastpapers because questions are always repeated .
Correct me if im wrong  :) .
