Overall I think I did OK, I got the same answers as other people in my class for a lot of questions.

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And--which is more--you'll be a Man, my son!

However - yes - I spent a long time during my revision trying to understand division of wavefront problems and learning how to derive the relevant equations. For nothing. Well, c'est la vie.
It is, though, starting to seem like the SQA always redesign their physics paper styles the years I sit them.

There was one derivation btw - Q3ai
i had a little chuckle to myself wheni saw that the easiest questions was the LAST question how strange eh
Also i just noticed after the exam that there was no nuclear physics in it. I like that stuff cos its so easy and quick to do
If i am not here i am somewhere else

My gamble paid off as there were no derivations needed


Thats me now ->

True, but that wasn't one of the derivations specified by the SQA arrangements, that was only an application of equating two forces.

I also wanted to do Advanced Higher Computing! I suppose there isn't much point moaning about it now! It's too late!!!

Overall i found the exam fairly good, although i thought that there were alot of explanation questions, and hardly any deriviations and proofs. There were alot of show that this equals that questions which i liked

I agree, it took me far longer to finish than any of the other past papers did.

Last part - sees the polarised light, as it is turned the image disappears and then reappears as we get to 180 degrees.
