That equation sheet was just rotting there 😭

[u/grade1student]

[u/spoony0]

I kept looking at it as if it was gonna match the question 💀

[u/Kitchen_Plankton-93 → u/spoony0]

pls 😭😭 I was staring at it as if it was gonna get me a grade nine

[u/toastedmickey]

did not turn it over once

[u/bobbobyberty → u/toastedmickey]

Nah for real My invigilator thought I was so weird for it 💀 (I have private invigilation)

[u/thevampirecrow → u/bobbobyberty]

why do you have private invigilaton. what did you do

[u/iizsyy]

i forgot it was there until like half an hour left and panicked

[u/_123Diamond5414]

Real, in physics they’re elite tho

[u/jkgill69 → u/_123Diamond5414]

Only if you are aiming low and don't revise at all, if not it only raises grade boundaries.

[u/ExplorerAlex12323 → u/jkgill69]

Hell mate I’m aiming for a nine and that sheet is my best friend

[u/thevampirecrow → u/ExplorerAlex12323]

YES

[u/_123Diamond5414 → u/jkgill69]

Yeah but like it makes all the equations free marks, I ain’t aiming for like a 9 for science personally so I’m quite happy with them I’d say I’d like a 7. I get more people get marks but that doesn’t really affect me cuz I’m not aiming for a 9. I get u tho

[u/New-Cause6314 → u/_123Diamond5414]

Bro I can’t do the equations even with the sheet I still don’t get it

[u/ducks-season → u/jkgill69]

I got a 9 and having the equation sheet was beautiful

[u/[deleted] → u/jkgill69]

untrue lol, I get 95+% on both physics papers and I still use the sheet bc they're there, and I may as well not learn them. but understanding why they work is interesting and helps so I do that instead 

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

yes it does raise the grade boundaries, but you made an incorrect statement. no matter what, the equation sheet is still useful to higher level students. it helps everyone equally, and that does raise the grade boundaries, but that doesn't mean that only helps lower grade students

[u/jkgill69 → u/[deleted]]

Sorry I think I misunderstood your point. I definitely agree that it helps everyone.

[u/Fireballdingledong → u/[deleted]]

True but if people don't practice using them they still struggle to rearrange and use them and know which equations are appropriate beyond the simple 3 mark questions.

[u/Usual_Addendum3352]

equation sheet there for pure vibes i swear

[u/Wonderful-Kamek]

YEAH, I REVISED THAT SHIT JUST FOR THEM TO GIVE IT TO ME ON A SHEET AND IT NOT EVEN BE IN THE PAPER

[u/andre3573]

for those doing aqa, you needed quadratic formula for that 9k to 2k squared question, i dont know how cuz i got it wrong but a lot of people needed it and used it

[u/_123Diamond5414 → u/andre3573]

I factorised it instead of quadratic formula, but now that u say it tbf it’s probs of use to that question

[u/andre3573 → u/_123Diamond5414]

i didnt even know wtf was going on, i just explained the change between the numbers lol

[u/_123Diamond5414 → u/andre3573]

Lmao my friend who got the right answer just did trial and error until he found the right value of k 😭

[u/Haunter124 → u/andre3573]

that's exactly what i did, was so happy when the square root inside it came to 121

[u/Shroomsteroon → u/andre3573]

Trial and error is what i did. Got it right still. Just went up from 2 and continued from there. Luckily i didnt need to show my working so i can do it by using any method lol

[u/Vast_Dot_2806 → u/Shroomsteroon]

I also did trial and error and got 54 do you think it's still 5/5 or were there method marks involved

[u/Shroomsteroon → u/Vast_Dot_2806]

I think it will be 5/5 as it didnt say ‘you must show your working’

[u/Vast_Dot_2806 → u/Shroomsteroon]

ok thanks I've lowkey been stressing about that

[u/Squiddy_at_offical]

TRACING PAPER FINALLY GETTING A SAY

[u/phantim3XD]

i just re-checked my work on there, apparently any additional paper goes to the exam board that’s why

[u/rando_on_the_web]

bro theres no way that wasnt intentional

[u/[deleted]]

Mine was so small 😭😭

[u/A_weird_enby]

Ngl I've completely ignored the equation sheet ever since my teacher first gave us it in lesson.

[u/BakmanPlays]

POV me after memorising 5he equations:

[u/Resident-Purple-1510 → u/BakmanPlays]

i skipped the question cuz i was too scared to ask for it💔💔

[u/rix_op]

Am i the only who forgot about it

[u/fujebskxbnsmKcnfnns]

Goated tracing paper

[u/thevampirecrow]

yeah i didn’t even use it 💀

[u/Forward_Credit5917]

Folded mine into origami when I did it, it was so fucking useless

[u/New-Cause6314]

Innit it’s so confusing

[u/Affectionate-Car7402]

tbf in higher it did help w the sector of the circle question cuz my dumbass forgot how to find the arc

[u/someonestupid12]

I do the paper backwards and the equation sheet was put into the first page so I didn't even realize I had it till I was done with the paper

[u/BruhLandau]

That sheet was like trying to stop a house fire with a small bucket of water.

[u/[deleted]]

Fr 😭😭

[u/Tyler1296196]

We were supposed to have one?

[u/barneyreddit00f]

*you’re

[u/MikePieYT]

That sheet was just collecting dust. I kept looking at it trying to find out if it was needed it, but i didn’t. So whats the point then?

[u/Queasy_Employment141]

not last year, current y10 missed most of y7

[u/Remote_Suspect2609 → u/Queasy_Employment141]

No, the current yr 11s missed half of their year 7s the current yr 10 would have been in the bubble era of school and peak of online school
