Testing A level Cambridge Exams this October

AI Thread Summary
Candidates preparing for the A Level Cambridge Exams in Physics should focus on reviewing past exam papers to identify patterns in question types and topics frequently tested. While the syllabus outlines expected learning outcomes, exam questions typically align with these guidelines and do not extend beyond them. Engaging with experienced teachers can provide insights into commonly tested topics. It's also recommended to check the specific exam board's website for additional resources and information relevant to the CIE exams. Practicing past papers is a crucial strategy for securing a good grade.

hey guys i am sitting for the A level Cambridge Exams this October and November. Could someone tell me what are the most probable outcomes in physics or what types of questions should i revise to secure a good grade in physics.
 
Physics news on Phys.org


Isn't there an "expected outcomes" document detailing what candidates are expected to know for their A and O levels? It might differ from country to country. Check your country/district/state's exam board website for that.

As for "most probable", I don't think anyone here could help you with that. Take a look through the past year examinations. Think you could spot any patterns in the questions tested? Regardless, the best person to answer this would be your high school teachers, especially those old and experienced ones. I've had a number of them tell me in advance which topics they usually expect to be tested for each year.
 


Yes. there is the syllabus of physics telling the learning outcomes. However, the exam questions may go beyond the syllabus.

Anyways, thanks for the advice.
 


Exam questions will not go beyond the A level syllabus.

The best way of gauging what sorts of questions will be asked it to look through past year exam papers, as Defennder says. Your teacher should provide papers, or you could check the exam board website: www.ocr.org.uk
 


thanks Crysto. I'm going to practice past exam papers now.
 


For your kind information, I am sitting for the CIE exams.

Thanks for the help in advance. (I also...
Hi community My aim is to get into research about atoms, specifically, I want to do experimental research that explores questions like: 1. Why do Gallium/Mercury have low melting points 2. Why are there so many exceptions and inconsistencies when it comes to explaining molecular structures / reaction mechanisms in inorganic and organic chemistry 3. Experimental research about fundamental Quantum Mechanics, such as the one being followed by Hiroshima university that proved that observing...
guys i am currently studying in computer science engineering [1st yr]. i was intrested in physics when i was in high school. due to some circumstances i chose computer science engineering degree. so i want to incoporate computer science engineering with physics and i came across computational physics. i am intrested studying it but i dont know where to start. can you guys reccomend me some yt channels or some free courses or some other way to learn the computational physics.
