Mistakes YOU CAN'T afford to make in your A Level Physics Exams 2020

These are the mistakes that you can't afford to make in your A Level Physics exams in 2020. If you know the most common mistakes that students made in their 2019 OCR A Level Physics Exams, then you'll know not to make them! Although the advice is just as relevant for anyone sitting AQA, Edexcel, WJEC, CIE and Eduqas exams.

All the opinions expressed in this video are my own, although it is all based on work by OCR.
I discuss the best ways to answer questions involving graphs, Kirchhoff's 1st and 2nd Law, balancing nuclear equations, what's inside a fission reactor (made of Lego) and what happens when a dolphin is in equilibrium. Sit back, relax, just make sure you don't make these mistakes this year as you revise for your exams!
Thanks for watching,
Lewis

Thanks for the advice. I feel less anxious about physics exams after watching your videos. I have A2 IAL exams this May/June, so it will be very helpful if you make more videos about Edexcel IAL Physics.

haha bruh its sad and good at the same time. We've been given minimum outcome grades due to past work evidence (so can only go up) but at the same time I wish I knew what I would have got with everyone in the same boat.

@George kirby yeah I was y13 last year and had bad relations with my teacher and didn't really do what they asked, but sweated my ass off at home lol, did the same for GCSEs and got 8s and 9s but got kinda screwed over for this Hopefully it'll be back to normal next year for unis though

Hi Lewis. I’m on the OCR A level A spec for physics and I want to branch out to other exam boards as part of my revision. Would you recommend that I look at the OCR B papers as revision or will the be very different.

Why are the physics 4-5-6 marker written questions have such specific mark schemes it just makes it's impossible to answer in comparison to the other sciences

Thanks for the advice. I just wanted to know if you are going to complete some parts of the particle and radiation chapters on your website for a-level aqa. Are you going to be making individual topics for those uncompleted chapters like the ones on your website, like are you going to be making a full video focusing on the Fluorescent tube that aqa students need to know about as I wanted to start with particles and radiation for my revision for the may/june exams. any sort of dates you will finish the particles and radiation section following the specification with annihilation and pair productions videos. basically completing the entire chapter?

Think of it like this: imagine you want to measure your height. Would you rather use a measuring tape graduated in cm or mm? If you use the cm one you'd be "reading between the lines" (as in between two markings hope this makes sense) but with the mm one you don't need to. It's the same logic here, you want a big triangle to make sure you aren't reading between the markings on the graph but that you're reading the actual markings. Hope I didn't confuse you lol. Also you're more likely to just straight up misread the values with a tiny triangle

(from 4:00) Do we have to write down our entire calculator value or could we just round to 3 significant figures on paper but keep using our full value on calculator? Or just not write an answer in our steps and instead leave the calculation for the final step?

@theblackswordsman8400 2 жыл бұрын

you keep using the full value for other parts/questions. but for the final answer, round to the significant figure specified.

Dy/dx? Are u referring to differentiation or just difference in y over difference in x

@anuragsuresh5867 4 жыл бұрын

User Name Most likely change in y/change in x, because calculus isn’t essential in A level physics so you won't have to do any actual differentiation.

@@CH-zw2gm Not quite, differentiation is the limit as x tends to 0 of the difference of y / difference of x, so basically the limit of the gradient at a certain point, which is only the same as the general gradient for a straight line.

I’ve got the a level physics roger muncaster book, the advanced physics for you textbook, my exam board endorsed textbook and the Isaac physics questions book, how should I use all these book for revision as I’m struggling rn I’m on a C/D. I’m not sure how to use all of them as the roger muncaster one is old spec

@PhysicsOnline 4 жыл бұрын

I’d say try picking one small topic, then reading all three textbooks about that subject then having a go at the Isaac questions - referring back to the books as and when you need to.
