Q.4
` Testing knowledge of the change in density of water when it is cooled
` 70% candidates understand that the density of water increases as the temperature drops
` 37% candidates realised that water has the highest density at 4°C.

Q.9
` Resolve the reactions acting on the athlete ` Compare the magnitude of the horizontal components of these forces ` Weak at determining the magnitude of the horizontal component from the data provided

Q.19 ` first apply the right hand
grip rule to find the direction of the magnetic field around wire Y due to currents flowing in wire X and wire Z
` work out the direction of the force acting on wire Y using Fleming’s left hand rule
` 24% might have stopped at the first step
Æ option D
` 22% seemed to have erroneously used the right hand in determining the direction of the force acting on wire Y
Æ option B

Q.26
` Quite a number of candidates misconstrued that destructive interference would occur when the troughs produced by S1 meet the troughs produced by S2 and erroneously chose option B. In fact, when the two troughs meet at point Q, they reinforce each other to form a larger trough.

Q.31
` To find out the amino acid that is absent Æ identify the genetic code that hadundergone mutation (i.e. from ‘GTA’ to ‘CTA’ in the mutated gene P.)
` Many mistook the coding strand as the template to work out the mRNA codon ‘CAU [option A]
` Some overlooked the requirement of the question and erroneously chose the amino acid produced by the mutation (i.e. leucine).
