Crap. I hate that dot point. There's too much to memorise.
Only thing I'm possibly dreading is if they ask for in depth info on a practising Australian scientist... its never been asked before

If that happens, then the band 6 cutoff will drop by 5 marks. 99% of the state wouldn't have an answer for it.

That will throw at least 90% of people if they do...
The consolation is that if there are shit questions, they'll be shit for the majority of people so there is no real disadvantage.
If not, then it's a reflection on what you should have studied :/
I'm hoping for a lot of space and motors and generators, skimmed Implementation...
Although I know the majority of the stuff, a big mark question on one part I haven't covered well enough would kill me haha

I think Im in the same position as you... I just know my content. Sounds stupid but is that all we need to do? The maths is pretty simple imo.

Is this in the syllabus? I've never heard of it.

I'm hoping that they ask us a question involving calculations, such as the mass difference and energy released from a nuclear fission. Are there any practicals that we're supposed to know for this option?

Thanks, although I don't really remember them. I don't think they're often asked in the exam because I haven't encountered any in past papers.
