This is from the cambridge site:
Papers 5 and 6 Tips:
You will take one of these papers that test practical Physics. There are some particular points
that are relevant to answering the questions here.
• When plotting a graph it is important to choose the scales so that the plots occupy more
than half of the graph grid. Careless, rushed graph plotting can lose several marks. You
should always use a sharp pencil and plot small, neat, accurately placed crosses. Then
draw a neat thin best-fit line.
• You should understand that if y is proportional to x then the graph will be a straight line
through the origin.
• Diagrams should be drawn with care using a sharp pencil.
• It is important to be able to set up a circuit from a diagram, draw a circuit diagram of a
circuit already set up and also to draw a circuit diagram from a written description.
• You need to know that to read the current through a component (e.g. a lamp or a resistor)
and the voltage across it, the ammeter is placed in series with the component but the
voltmeter must be connected in parallel with the component.
• Column headings in tables of readings must be headed with the quantity and unit as in
these examples: I/A, or t/s, or y/m. Graph axes are labelled in the same way.
• Final answers should be given to 2 or 3 significant figures.
• When carrying out practical work there are usually measurements that are in some way
difficult to take in spite of taking great care. You should comment about these difficulties
when asked about precautions taken to improve accuracy.
• You should understand that the control of variables is an important aspect of practical
work. You should be able to comment on the control of variables in a particular
experiment.
• You should understand the significance of wording such as ‘within the limits of
experimental accuracy’.
• If you are asked to justify a statement that you have made it must be justified by
reference to the readings. A theoretical justification in a practical test will not gain marks.

Someone just said they drew it on the first page of this thread, only to help themselves.. not because it was drawn in the question..
And then others were like "Oh yeah , me too!" and then someone else went , "Yeah you had to draw it" and then someone else went "It said it in the question" , and then someone else went "It was worth 5912613 marks!" .. and I'm just sitting here like .__________.

Tips for Physics paper 6!? Just look over 1 past paper.. you'll see how easy it is.. it's not even funny.
They GIVE the formulas lol..

Honestly your right.. I'm reading every thread here about the paper today, and it's not making me feel better..
The more answers I find out about these questions , the worse I feel. Ugh, atleast everyone's paper went bad.. low threshold HOPEFULLY.
Eh, whatever.. time to study for chemistry paper 3. ( I'm so screwed :z )
