SPM Paper 3: Graph Plotting

Hi guys...hows your revision?
.. trial exam's fever is around the corner..its temperature is approaching the boiling point now :)
Hope u are doing well with your revision..
Here i wanna share some short tips about plotting graph in paper3 .

When u are being asked to plot a graph for section A paper 3, please make sure u include the following item:

(i)Title of graph
-Usually we start the title by mentioning the "quantity in Y-axis VS quantity of x-axis"
-Example:
Title of graph: Graph of V versus I
V represents Y -axis, I represents X-axis

(ii) Labels of x-axis and y-axis and units
-Make sure u include the labels & their units for each axis. Usually,
x-axis represents the manipulated variables
y-axis represents the responding variables

(iii) The vertical and horizontal scales must be even.
-Please choose the right scale based on the data given. Your scale should produce a larger graph
-Choosing right scale is important in order to let u to plot the points easily

(iv) Size of the graph is about ¾ of the graph paper.
-Make sure your chosen scale will produce a larger graph which occupies about 3/4 of the paper
-If your graph's size is less than 1/2 of the page..u better redo the graph ;)

(v) Dont forget to write values for the origin of the graph
Most graph starts with zero but there's case that some graph starts with a nonzero.

(vi) Use small cross mark (x) to plot the coordinates of the point in the graph
Make sure u plot the right point according to the data collected in the table.

Gradient calculation tips
In section B, they always ask u to calculate the gradients. While doing it make sure
-The chosen point should at least have a distance equivalent to 1/2 of the length of the graph
-please draw the triangle between the chosen point
For curvy graph, u need to draw the tangent line to find the gradient.

I think that's it for now, may it be useful to those who is weak in paper3.

SPM Physics Paper 3

For those asking for notes on Paper 3's experiment, u can always get it from your reference book. Many reference book included the experiment details for each subtopic. Usually reference book like Oxford Fajar, Pelangi & Sasbadi has detailed the experiment involve for all topics. Even some of them are also included in the notes uploaded in this blog.
All u need to do is.. dont be too lazy to search for it :) .
Moreover, what ever u did in PEKA is important, u should refer back to those experiment.
By the way, here i include some examples list of experiment precaution that can be useful for your reference.

Download this file.

The table listed only general precaution, its your task to match the precaution with any relevant experiment.
One more thing..just to remind u guys...please dont answer your precaution simply like this:
-To avoid parallax error

It is incomplete, u need to specify how to make those correct reading..refer to the table..u should answer like this:
Avoid parallax error by placing the eye such that the line of view is perpendicular to the scale of the ruler.

I know the list in the table doesn't cover all chapters..
hey i aint the type who like to spoon feed everything ..
If u wanna an A for physics..do some xtra work kay or come to my tuition class ;)
