you will never leave where you are
until you know where you had rather be

This marks the beginning of a new era. As I disconnected my games hard disk drive and plugged in the new replacement prelim papers hard disk drive, I knew that it was a symbolic moment. It is a commitment I am making to do more prelim papers than I already am, and spend less time playing anything at all. Help, the future is bleak. I want more time, just a little more time.

Okay, since I have not been doing much of anything today, except for physics, I shall just have to talk about what I have done, which is lots of physics. I noticed something uncanny about the first questions of all the Physics Paper 1 questions. They are all about measurement! (Yea, took me long enough) And even better, they really have nothing much to ask about measurements, so what you get is always the same few questions. Of course, these questions are of varying difficulties and I have arranged them in their level of annoyance.

Possible measurement questions:
Level 1) Uncertainty calculations. Good for building up confidence to face the rest of the paper. The only way you can get this wrong is to misread the question and give them percentage uncertainty instead of absolute uncertainty or something.
Level 2) Estimate this shit questions. Hope like hell your visual sense is good enough to tell you what the radius of a basket ball is.
Level 3) Units balancing. This question can be annoying if they give you many derived units that are derived from other derived units. You can cheat by mugging lots of derived units in SI forms before the test, but this is just for 1 mark that might not even come out, so maybe you should consider spending that time reading some Economics instead.
Level 8) Estimate this four shit questions. This is four times more annoying than a level 2 question. Unless of course option A is the right answer. You will probably still check the rest anyway actually, so I guess this still remains at level 8.
