I would assume less than 10 marks lost for each paper.
That's impossible, both in terms of how long and hard the papers are and the distance from the minimum for A. Even after memorising the whole textbook my marks while practising barely come up to A, how do you think one goes about achieving an A*?

Well, my advice is to do really well for your AS exam. Aim for the paper 3(practical). And its actually not impossible to score less than 10 wrongs for the paper 1 & 2. (Totally possible!) Just practice more and remember that physics is about application not memorizing.

Well in A2 far too many questions require huge amount of memorising and the few calculation questions are always worded annoyingly, I hate CIE. Btw I'm repeating AS level so this year I haven't attended a single AS practical class, what do you think I should do now?

Try to ask your lecturer to let you in for at least 1 lesson. Other than that, there's not much you can do for the practical. Just make sure to read the instructions carefully and don't waste marks unnecessarily on careless mistakes like significant figures. Really watch your significant figures. Good luck!

the ques is is given in pink ( just beside the highlighted ans)
my question is can we give a similar answer interms of potential differen rather than currect? about how pd across external circuit wud decrease bcz of less effective resis now therefore more power will be dissipated in the internal resist of the battery? or will that be not credited?image.jpg

Explain, in terms of the air molecules, why the pressure at the top of a mountain is less
than at sea level ?
