Predictions for this year's Unit 3 Exam

Well, they kept asking the same questions over and over again - I bet this time they're going to try and throw us off.

What do you think could be on the exam this year - anything in particular?

I'll open with the fact that this exam is unusually long -

23 questions in the motion section with 12 on electricity...

Normally it's <20 for motion.

Hahah hopefully that's all there is - but it's possible that you have to 'work harder' for your marks

So instead of a question being worth 3 marks, it could only be worth 2 for the same amount of working.
Or long explain questions being worth 2 marks instead of 4.

It looks as if the electronics and photonics section will require more work this year.

Come to think of it, that is a bit excessive. The prac exams usually have around 16-20 ish.

I just put that in as I'm struggling to find stuff to put in the electronics section of my cheatsheet :/

Come to think of it, I have literally nothing for my detailed study.
