Assalamu Alaykum , Here's some notes for you :)
-You have to record the time taken for one complete oscillation by taking the time for more than one complete oscillation and divide it by their number , and this to reduce error and get more accurate value .
- check if the meter rule in an experiment is vertical by a set square .
- If something directly proportional it should have constant gradient , straight line and begins from the origin .
-To avoid parallax error , your eye should be perpendicular to the reading.
- As the temperature difference between water and room temperature increases , the drop in temperature also increases and vice versa .
-Distance measured between the object and the lens , and between the screen and the lens , must be taken from the center of the lens .
-you need to know the relation between the diameter and the resistance and the area and the resistance of the wire , For example , if diameter increased by 2 times , the resistance will be decreased 4 times , and if the area increased by 2 times , the resistance will be decreased two times .
- Centre of mass
Centre of mass is an imaginary point in a body (object) where the total mass of the
body canbe thought to be concentrated to make calculations easier
To find the centre of gravity on a flat object, use the following steps:
1. Get a flat object.
2. Get a stand and a plumb line (a string with a weight on it).
3. Punch 3 holes in your object.
4. Hang your object from the hole, and attach the plumb line to the same hole.
Draw a vertical line where the plumb line is.
5. Repeat step 4 for all the other holes. Where the lines meet is the centre of gravity.
(FIY the string should be able to swing freely, so should not touch the paper)
For stability the centre of mass must be over the centre of pressure.

DON'T FORGET THE UNITS ! .. It will cost you marks that u are in desperate need for it .

After studying those tips well , do few past papers ..


Don't panic before exam , this paper is easy . just concentrate and give your brain a chance to think .
anw , That's some notes for now :) it will be always updated , if you have any notes and tips please post it here , don't ever hesitate . Let us make this post rich and worth reading :)

Don't forget me and whoever helped u in this post in your prayers :)
May Allah give u all success in this world .. Good Luck in your studying , and A* in your exam :) (y)

hay guise do we need to know about magnetism and motors and that kind of stuff? Because I don't know shiz about that besides some of the simple equations

When the marking scheme say "something something parallax error" Can you tell me exactly how to frame the answer, i mean I somewhat understand what it means but idk exactly

The eye should be perpendicular to scale to avoid parallax error .

how to draw best fit curve .. & best fit lines ?
To draw best fit lines n curves, just draw a smooth line (or curve if it asks for a curve) across the points, not necessary to touch all points!!! Hope you got it!!
