rather sit back and relax, i think the physics exam now is more toward application with formulas rather memorisation

lol no way!
Physics is like 90% memorising!!!
I get a feeling it's getting more and more wordy, with lesser Maths questions by the year...

you're right, a monkey can plug figures into a calculator
(well the smart ones can :D)
the big marks which hardly anyone gets is the extensive knowledge
aspect and just answering the question 'evaluate, assess'

yep success is the answer

@kat_in_a_hat88: for chem, i was in the same position as u, although i realised i was stuffed a few days before the exam, so for the option i just read all the answers in the success book, thats like 250 marks worth of questions on the option that i partially new the answers to simply by readng over the answers in success... and luckily enough, i actualy did the best in the option section of the exam!...(oh and i was stuffed for the option, not the whole exam..hehe)

the questions are very repetitive over the years, some are just asked in a different style... for example 1 yr it may be a 6 mark question, the next its only like worth 2 marks!

know ur formulas, I agree-looking over past papers- that the exams do have quite a fair amount of calculations, more so than i expected!...so know how to use ur formulas!...(although im not sure if this is possible if u havnt done ur homework throughout the year... but its worth a try)

that way u'll at least secure the option topic, calculations and multiple choice theres always a 1/4 chance of getting the right answer..that should get u 50%

oh and ive realsied that alot more marks are allocated to space and motors... so go through them if u can...

nevertheless.. if u want to pass

practice the 2002 and 2003 past papers... not 2004 because if questions were to be repeated they're most likely to come from earlier yrs
just read all the answers in the succes book


If u dont have success.. wellllllllllllllllll

hmmm?... just call the advice line and start crying or something???

Good luck..wohooooooo, HSC finishes tmrw!!!

Mr Burns has a thousand monkeys typing at a
thousand type-writers, trying to make the best
novel ever written...
