I promised it so here it is.

And here’s its “mark scheme”:-

As that was fairly hard, I thought you’d like an easier one, to sober up with:-

And its agreed answers are:-

Yep I thought you’d like that. That’s what people are being told that Physics, the Queen, the Arbiter and the Foundation of Natural Sciences, is all about.

I will publish papers BLY2 (a and b), BLY3 (a and b) CHY 2 etc, and PHY2 and 3 etc as soon as I can hack them off.

The “examination boards” don’t exactly encourage individual people to access the stuff. Their sites and acronymic jargon are deliberately designed to obscure rather than to illuminate. You have really to be an apparatchik to get it. AQA does publish a limited range of recent papers on http://www.aqa.org.uk    -     the others don’t.
