Matthewsont Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Hey I was hopnig someone might have done the AS AQA syllabus practical exam (aka Unit 3 "EMPA") since schools were allowed to start doing them on the 1st of this month. I've got mine in 2 days and I was hoping someone could tell me what was in it. All I know so far is that it heavily involved micrometres and electricity. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
Matthewsont Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 Having now done the papers, this can now be clsoed. But anyone who's going to do it later this month, feel free to ask me anything Link to post Share on other sites
roxasx Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 How did it go? I think I messed up part 1 with the coin I have my part 2 and 3 over the next couple of weeks, so slightly scared lol. any tips? Link to post Share on other sites
Matthewsont Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 1 and 2 were easy. 3 was easy but tedious and ambiguous. A lot of the questinos asked you to give general answers like, describe this graph, even though the graph didn't have any values on it, so you had to give a general trend and explain why... the entire paper was pointless and annoying Link to post Share on other sites

s_m Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Hey everyone, I've got the written part of my Physics AQA A EMPA tomorrow, any tips on what to revise? I mean I'm going to go over the obvious stuff, so uncertainties, errors (random and systematic), precision, reliability, projectile motion and suvat equations, considering the experiments we did. I've heard potential dividers may come up? Anything else in particular? Thanks, greatly appreciated Link to post Share on other sites
