Now that you mention the speed I remember it was intended to be about radio waves :D

I had 1.190705656 AU No it said electric field.

Sorry, I just reread the database in 2010 75 was the B6 cut-off. So it'll probs be 80-81 this year.

Pretty sure it is taught as investigating radio waves, I completely missed the induction option though. In hindsight that is probably right [and with that goes my chance of getting 90RAW :( ]

I increased the amplitude and frequency of the sin graph. Wasn't emf a sin graph!? You can't use a ruler for a sin graph (so you should be fine, from memory it was only two marks as well which means they probs won't take anything off for neatness)

Even the 2010 one didn't have a B6 cut off of 75, and this one wasn't as hard. I reckon mid-80s (hopefully that's what I get as well, fingers crossed)

1B 2D 3B <- using right hand rule this is what I got, I remember this experiment does rotate around the magnet 4A 5D 6C 7A 8D 9B 10C 11B 12D <- both a and d are correct, but a is not completely correct as it dosen't mention balanced forces. 13D 14A -< e=V/d so as d decreases, e increases 15B...

Overall pretty good. Medical Physics questions where very different than previous years, which made it harder for me. No calculations in it which was annoying, I ended up having to get extra booklets for both of the medical physics booklets. I couldn't remember enough detail about photocells...

Thanks, that really helps!

Hi Would anyone be able to explain that question for me (2009 27 c)? Success one and BOS sample answers say the electrons flows from n to p through the external circuit, but my text book and my understanding says electrons should flow from n to p through the junction (and hence p to n...

They could test on it, they test over dot points like describing a prac. My teacher said to google one (hint: CSIRO website has bios on all their scientists)

You just need to google a male and a female scientist who is currently practising and is Australian. Its a possible 6marker like the Werhna Von Brown and Edison/Westinghouse questions

Physics has a lot of content, but it does scale better than bio (which I haven't done so I don't know how much content that has, I've heard it is more). It depends if you think you can improve your physic mark or not.

It's usually better to mention briefly at least one advantage of the one you're not supporting and one disadvantage of the one you are supporting. However, you could still get full marks it depends on the marking criteria. (I think that was a three mark question? In which case you are fine)

You'd think so, but I'm pretty sure I got a trial question where it was the other way round. (Basically, I decided to choose the type I though they wanted as supposed to the one I would actually use, which was silly of me)

You really want to get a first draft done in the Christmas holidays or the ones after, I really regret not doing this. You can do as many stories as you like, but in total they have to be under the 8000 word limit. Considering that I wouldn't do more than 7 (and I only did one). If you do more...

Start studying as early as possible, and reread all your texts a month or so before your exams (wish I'd done this).

That's similar to what I did, there is nothing wrong with doing it that way as well. It is less convoluted for the markers, which makes it easier to follow.

Um, they asked for at least two last year as well and I am pretty sure the exemplar they released only used two related. Normally in English if they say at least, you only do that amount unless you are very, very fast. I referred to how they used the conventions to construct characters, and...

Really liked the essay question (Crime), I'd already been focusing on the detective so that worked out really well. I didn't like the creative question, it didn't really trigger any good ideas for me and I ended up writing a series of letters. Not sure I got enough quality in there, although I...
