I did I2 [Scottish exam, higher than GCSE] and I answered 3/20 questions
Total marks were 100 and it lasted 2 hours
It took me thw whole 2 hours to do 3 questions. I answered parts of other but they were well hard.
I actually studied for it but it owned me

EDIT- I can scan the paper if anyone wants to see it

Physics is Easy though.
You just multiply Everything.

But still, that abit Lame..

Standard grade is different. I need Physics or Tech for Product Design Engineering. Im taking tech, it was easy :P

dude scan the paper.

It couldn't have been that hard.

Physics involves Algebra II/Trig problems... it is "hard".

Trigonometry is one of the easiest questions on the paper.

It isn't as hard as chemistry.
If you're good at maths, physics is alright.

Question 6 was:
a)Calculate the voltage inbetween v1 and v3 (1)
b)Calculate the voltage in v1 (2)
c)Calculate the electric charge in all 14 circuits if they were connected in parrallel (2)
d)i)What would the voltage gain be if a 340turns to 1400turns transistor was introduced before r2? (4)
d)ii)Where would be the best place to introduce this (with the greatest total voltage gain)? (1)

Total was 10 marks. I did all of that question but got the wrong answer for part d

Ok, not really. We have to take chemistry first then physics, I'm taking both at the same time. And physics is harder.

My skools different from most others. We got all 3 sciences as seperate subjects ever since we started them. You then got to choose what ones you wanted but you need to take 1.

In scotland you do sciences as seperate subjects.
And I did both, and chemistry is far harder...

You never did I2 Physics.

No... but I did standard grade physics and standard grade Chemistry, so the comparison would be pretty similar to comparing I2 physics and I2 chemistry...

I did I2 Chemistry and dropped it after 3 months. Physics is harder and I did Tech aswell.
Chemistry is revision, Physics is revision with calculation and problem solving.

Lol if you dropped it, surely it was harder?

And different people are good at different things, so we could both find different ones hard :P

I dropped it to do Tech because I need Tech

if you got 'stuck' why didn't you just move on to a different question?

If I was stuck on a question I moved onto the next 1 but I went back and tried to answer some of them but I just couldnt do it. Like there was a 6 mark question asking what a focal length was. The definition I learned was about 2 lines long so was only worth upto 2 marks. Things like that confused me.

No, Chemistry, Biology, and Physics are seperate classes. ._.''

Maybe younger people do them for 1/3 of the year then switch so they do all 3?

Physics always demands in depth answers, but 3 out of 20!!! musta been hard.

Which reminds me I have an essay due tomorow for physics that i need to print :)
