📊 What Came Up in 2020–2024?
Here’s a snapshot of what’s been tested most often:
🧠 Frequently Asked Questions
What experiments are likely for Maths in 2025?
Simple Pendulum, Snell’s law, Joule’s law, and Resistance vs Temperature are all strong candidates based on trends.
Do deferred exams affect the main paper?
Sometimes – recent years show overlap between deferred and main papers. It’s worth checking the 2024 deferred paper once released.
📄 Deferred Papers – Do They Matter?
Yes – and no. The SEC usually avoids repeating experiments year-to-year. But in 2023, two experiments from the 2023 deferred paper were reused in 2024.
Plus, the 2022 deferred paper had three overlaps with the 2023 paper.
🔍 Watch this space: If the 2024 deferred paper is released soon, study it closely.
