Hey guys,
I'm just going through some trial exams and some exams say "Physics- pilot study examination"?

What is it?

Are they from 2004 or so? That was the year in which they introduced the new physics course as a pilot study to just a few hundred students, in order to test if the new course would be appropriate etc. In 2005 and onwards that course became the standard physics course.

in 2004, the 05-08 study design was tested on a few schools. The actual exam was ridiculously easy, and the advantage of students of these schools were huge [a lot of high marks, very unfair].

but anyhow, it's another set of exams you can do. Though most questions on transistor amplifier would be irrelevant =]
