Predictions on types of questions to expect on physics unit 4?

Does anyone have any idea or perhaps predictions on what we could expect from the physics exam.
Besides from the basic VCAA check list?
Perhaps a pattern with the VCAA exams?

It's probably not worth wasting your time focusing only on a few select things, make sure you know the entire unit's worth of content.

I have noticed in exams that
Electric power - lots of plug into the formula type stuff. If there is a theory question, it's usually to do with commutators, using DC in a transformer, power loss in lines etc. Transmission questions are usually a series of questions.

Light - usually has the most theory questions (these questions are quite diverse as well, from what I've seen). I've seen that most exams have something like diffraction in an x-ray and compare it to diffraction of an electron (and then go do calculations).
