What a Joke (physics a level)

Anyone here do the synoptic paper today for physics a level? I think the board is OCR?

It was a complete joke! The first question was about whats wrong with the physics in these question ...
I.e The power output of a power station is 480mW

grrr damnit, just takign some stress out here because when you revise the whole sylabus to find that most of the questions in the paper aren't even in it, it kinda pisses you off.

OCR B:

the first paper was a joke, there were at least six marks for using speed = distance / time

every other question seemed to give you the answer, making things a lot easier.

the second paper wasn't as easy, it's what I expected.

Yeh but when your doing physics a level and your in exam mode its a bit odd when they ask you trick questions. Another one was something along these line; Scientists predict the temperature of the sea to rise about 5 C (278 K) in 100 years.

They weren't particularly difficult questions, it was just a joke that they were asked in an A level paper.
