[@recon2457]

you're a massive help, this paper made me want to drop physics

[@altacademyorg]

If you still need help with A Level Physics, you should check out Alt Academy, we have a TON of resources, including video lessons, revision guides, 24/7 academic support, handwritten past paper solutions with explanations on each step, and we even have our instructors sit live every night and solve a timed past paper, explaining why they're taking each step.

[@padawan1769]

This paper was torture.. But your humour really helps lighten stuff up.. subbed

[@phos9404]

Make me feel a lot better when i hear that the papers aren't usually this hard lol

[@maximusekon146]

🙏🙏🙏😭😭😭

[@skreast]

with my upcoming year 12 mocks, your videos have been the greatest help in filling in where the mark scheme couldn’t. thank you so much! i also discovered the olympiads through your channel (my school is pretty disadvantaged so i didn’t know they were a thing) but i’ll def look into doing some of the early ones in year 13 :). thank you!!

[@Alex.y04]

Just revising this channel for the first time in a year after these practice paper videos carried my Physics A level last year.

[@studywm_pls]

you are the absolute goat at solving past papers, you're opinions on the questions make's me feel im not in the same boat, i really appreciate the way you teach!!

damn bro was grinding 2 months before AS exams respect

[@_Anti_Communist_]

Thanks for uploading, btw this question at 13:56 is crazy, how on earth is this only 3 marks??? And the mark scheme available online is the biggest garbage I have seen, it gives no explanation whatsoever, your video actually shows the steps, something which the mark scheme should show also.

[@AR2K77]

Isn't there a shorter way of doing this question, since
- you've got the value of d and λ from the previous question, so you can find a value of theta using that (theta = 23.4)
- there's a fixed horizontal distance of 15, and you have a value of theta, and you want to find the opposite length, so 15 x tan23.4 = 6.5 then 30/6.5 = 4.616... = 4 so greatest number of spots is 4

[@rahanlol]

had that moments question in my mock last year and the invigilators didn't have protractors was fun

[@dizvo3008]

wait... you are meant to use a protractor? so that's why i was so confused when he skipped the question loool. i was literally scratching my head at that one ffs

[@MortonCammar]

@@dizvo3008 yeah cause it's a (scale) diagram. I was confused about that as well. Pain in the bloody arse.

[@ajaskills7531]

are leptons hadrons and mesons coming for the exam ?

[@wolfy._.2790]

can you cover magnetic field questions on physics and maths tutor, some questions I don't understand and would be useful to see how you managed to get your answers

[@Synzoku]

are you going to do the 2022 paper any time soon?

[@prod_cio]

hello I am in Y13 going back over AS papers first for paper 1 practise
wtf has happened
I feel like some of these questions are harder then the ones fouind on the actual y13 ones

[@ScienceShorts]

True.

[@FlamefireFlash]

Do you have a video on AQA AS Level Physics - Specimen Set 2 Paper 1 7407/1 ?
I cant find a single video online on it

[@ScienceShorts]

Used to, before AQA nearly got the channel obliterated for using their papers!

[@kusakama7917]

Why haven’t you done 2022 paper 1 yet ? Is it against aqa or something ?

[@ScienceShorts]

Correct.

[@tobyonyia3024]

Are you videos mainly for higher? Because I’m taking higher tier and I watch your videos so just to be sure

[@fracture962]

This is an A level video but I guess most of it if not all will be higher on the gcse ones

[@Olivia-wb4xg]

i really struggled with this paper, my mocks are tommorow and as a year 12 i found it ridiculous

[@hd_gaming1325]

When will you go through 2022 and 2023!!!!

[@danscoby1560]

With Q5.1, the markscheme's answer is any answer in the range of 2x10^6 to 10x10^6. How on Earth do you get that?

[@ScienceShorts]

And what is 10x10^6 the same as

[@mathwizard3294]

@@ScienceShorts hi sir do you know when you will be making one of these for the as 2022 paper. Thank you for all the exam walkthroughs they help a lot.

[@danscoby1560]

@@ScienceShorts wow i'm shockingly disappointed with myself - thank you

[@ewanfps]

can someone explain 4,1 more I just dont understand it

[@ewanfps]

@@w9134 I am stupid never mind

[@zain6317]

Hi can you please do some more Edexel as papers including the sample and specimen ones thanks 🙌🙌

[@veerpatel6719]

Disgusting paper. Its over for me
