    How many PAGES did you use in your option?

    A 4 mark question in the paper is allocated half a page, so 25 marks can therefore be effectively answered in 6 and a bit. I think being consice is a bit part of good question answering.

    Did Anyone Get Confused By The Wording Of The Time Dilation Question

    It all depends on what we consider the rest frame, since the questoin asks for it from the perspective of the astronaut and 10 years have past and this is the rest frame. so t = 10 and tv = 16.7. Time is dilated i.e. gets bigger, it doesn't contract like length. This is a straight forward...

    b.tchy question - syclotron or whatever

    It was an easy question if you could see the relationship, just like Thomson's mv^2/r = qvB r = mv/qB so as v increases (i.e. pasticle is accelerated) then B must increae so that r remains constant

    How bad was the exam???

    I didn't do it but because of the new system they've been testing the water to see what the bottom level is the past two years, now they're testing the top. 4u was hard as well, all the ppl in my class reckoned it was the hardest yet. For those who do 3u and poss general, expect the same.

    Starting at Q8?

    The crucial marks are the ones at the start, you hould be able to get most of the first 3-5 questions the rest can be really out of left field. So you might not get anything at the start or finish, be selective in reading time.

    Can they do this??

    Yeah there are like 3300 ppl doing 4u about 5% up from about 2% a couple of years ago. Either ppl have gotten smarter, the course has gotten easier or more people aren't doing so well.
