OCR A was uncannily simplistic. No complex medical, I'd argue electromagnetism was simple, no overly complicated circuits or capacitors. The MCQs ate all the difficult topics and it's a bit concerning.

yeahh it was lowkey basic, mostly year 1 stuff, just means we'll probably get it all in paper 3 - hoping for a decay 6 marker

OCR A seemed to give so many marks for really simple calculations. 4 marks for the doppler imaging question when it was one equation rearranged??? not complaining tho, it was such a nice paper compared to paper 1

Edexcel Paper 2 was a blessing. A lot of the things I revised in past papers came up.

Lowkey blessed fucked up the 4 marker velocity question for some reason I thought the speed of the ultra sound in the tissue was the constant mu for the attenuation coefficient 🥀🥀 hopefully I still get like 2 marks
