SUMMARY

The AS Level Physics practical is perceived as more challenging than the A2 practical, according to students participating in the discussion. One user, who is resitting the AS practical, emphasizes the importance of focusing on the waves section, which has historically been difficult. Despite concerns, another participant found the AS practical to be straightforward, suggesting that the A2 practical may be even easier. Overall, students are encouraged to prepare thoroughly for the waves topic to avoid difficulties in their assessments.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of AS Level Physics curriculum
  • Familiarity with practical physics experiments
  • Knowledge of wave mechanics
  • Experience with exam preparation strategies
NEXT STEPS
  • Review wave mechanics concepts in AS Level Physics
  • Practice past AS Level Physics practical exams
  • Explore effective study techniques for practical assessments
  • Investigate resources for A2 Level Physics preparation
USEFUL FOR

Students preparing for AS and A2 Level Physics exams, particularly those focusing on practical assessments and wave mechanics.

Just wondering if anyone here is doing AS Level physics practical tomorrow?

AS practical

Yep! I'm resitting it because I didn't do very well in the waves paper. Last year my planning and my practical were fine but I almost failed the waves paper. For all you doing AS this year, concentrate on waves because it is a major pain resitting the planning and practical as well as waves!

Apparantly this years AS practical is harder than the A2 one so good luck to all AS students (and students resitting like me!), and those doing just A2, think yourself lucky!
 
I had the AS practical today and it was easy (hope that doesn't mean I missed the point!). Therefore the A2 one should be really easy!

Hope it went well for everyone else today!
