New Study Design

[tanishamarie]

Does anyone have any idea about the difference between the current study design for 1/2 Physics, and the one being implemented in 2016?

Because I was going to look through past resources and exams as prep over the holidays, but if the changes are going to be big, I don't know if it'll be worth it...

It appears that the Physics study design is changing quit a fair bit. There are some new topics etc
Here's a link with a summary of the changes: https://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=5&ved=0ahUKEwjTjrC_t8TJAhWj2qYKHVxuDrwQFgg6MAQ&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.vcaa.vic.edu.au%2FDocuments%2Fvce%2Fphysics%2FSummary_of_changes_Physics.doc&usg=AFQjCNHJuoB2vn6EbuJz285M2D3P14NREA&bvm=bv.108538919,d.dGY&cad=rja
Despite these changes, the major topics of electricity, motion, light etc are the same (just under new names) so getting past resources will still be worthwhile.
Hope this helped
