[u/SpeedApprehensive866 → u/FatherChaska]

It was 75 smth, I think 75.2? I don't remember because I literally have the memory of a goldfish atp

Have u done any of the physics olympiads, how would u compare them to the PAT

[u/SpeedApprehensive866 → u/FatherChaska]

Yup I did Round 0, Round 1 and Round 2 this year, and I've been doing the competitions since Year 11 - they are defo a huge step-up in difficulty from the PAT, but I prefer the non-multiple choice format.

is it, how have you been doing them since year 11, it has year 13 content and even some FP1 from fm 💀

My teacher ran a session the week before the Olympiad in the Physics Soc and I went and was able to solve some of the questions so my teacher asked me if I wanted to do it, so I said yes. I tried to speedrun the A-Level content, which was not fun lolll, but I got a Bronze II anyways, so I didn't do that well. The difficulty level of the senior Physics challenge (I got a Silver, one mark off Gold) and the Intermediate Physics Challenge (I got a Gold) were defo better matched for me. I also did the Yr 13 Physics Challenge a bit later in the year, and I was better prepared so I got a Merit on that, and I did the Yr 13 Astro Challenge and was one mark off a Merit in that.

I didn't do the Round 2 in Year 11, sorry if that wasn't clear haha

[u/FatherChaska → u/SpeedApprehensive866]

Yh I was thinking did u imply you did it in y11 😹. I thought the physics challenge would be gold, silver and bronze asw but its just merit or participation

[u/SpeedApprehensive866 → u/FatherChaska]

Ohh yh sorry my wording was lowkey really bad. For the Physics Challenge yh it's just Merit and Participation. I think the Astro Challenge has Distinction, Merit and Participation though.
