1. The Physics Practical Exam would be held in Term 3, Week 3 on 9 July (Monday). Details of the format, shift and lab allocations would be given when school re-opens in Term 3.
2. The Exam would include a few questions involving the practical skills of Planning (P), Manipulation, measurement & observation (MMO), Presentation of data & observations (PDO), and Analysis, conclusions & evaluation (ACE).
3. Preparation for this Exam should include:

• doing the June Practical Revision Exercises (1) and (2)
• read up on 2017 Sec 3 Chapter 1 notes (section 1.5 on tabulation & graph plotting)
• read up on 2018 Sec 4  Practical Guidelines for Planning 
• review all physics practicals done in 2017 & 2018.

A couple of mind maps produced by Mr Ang may help in your revision and seeing how the parts of a topic fit together.
