TheEagle:
Hey guys

do we need to memorise the SUVAT equations for exam 1?

keltingmeith:
Here's a copy of the formula sheet for this year. Everything you've learned this year is assessable in both exams - so, if it's not in that sheet, but it is in the study design, then yes, you need to memorise it

thank you! How often are suvat equations required in exams?

S_R_K:
Constant acceleration formulas are not on the study design. They may be used as appropriate, but you are expected to be able to solve constant acceleration problems using calculus. I can't recall ever feeling the need to memorise SUVAT because using calculus or a velocity-time graph for constant acceleration is so straightforward, but YMMV.

periphrasticobfuscation:
Constant acceleration formulas aren't on the study design, so you don't HAVE to memorise them. You can use calculus for both variable acceleration and constant acceleration. BUT I would say memorising those formulas would be extra convenient, because although you can solve it with calculus, using constant acceleration is much more efficient!
