Don't rush. There is plenty of time

Read the question.

Answer the question.

Don't see a work like "magnetic flux" and try to write down everything you know about magnets. Focus on the question

Do what you are told. Include a diagram, consider safety aspects as instructed.

Don't write about "conclusions" as you have not done the experiment you cannot get results or draw conclusions

Blank paper does not score, so if you have to guess then do so.

Nobody knows everything. so do what you can.

Aim to walk out saying "I did as well as I could".

A Level Physics Paper 5 Notes

Make sure you totally understand the question, sometimes you have to read and think about the question 3 or more times - generally speaking every single word counts, so don't 'skim-over' it.

Then try and imagine you had to do the experiment for yourself and carefully describe what you would do.

It depends on the wording but in general make sure you:

- state the equipment needed and what you would do with it

- include a diagram

- state what values you will measure, including repeated readings; usually a large range of values is needed so mention this

- state any safety precautions if relevant

- state how you analyse the measurements - what formula, or graphs? if using graphs, how do you use the graph? gradient? intercept?

- try and identify what you would do to make the results more accurate; common tricks are making values as large as possible to reduce percentage errors and repeating and averaging measurements.

Good luck!
