This is the first stage of the U6 Physics Olympiad, formerly called the A2 Challenge. Like the original AS challenge, it is a 1 hour paper that will be held during lunchtime on Thursday, 21st October (just before half-term). The paper is then marked internally and the top 2 students get a free entry to the Olympiad competition proper on November 12th.

This year, the preparation will run as a lunchtime workshop at 1.15 p.m. starting tomorrow Thursday, 16th September in room 130. On the week of the test we will use the full lunchtime and I will run one more session to go over the paper on 4th November.

Anyone targeting a high grade is welcome to join in, whether you want to take the test or not. If you wish to take the test, please sign up on Godalming Online.

I have just updated the test date to Thursday, 21st October, as I've just found out that 22nd is a 'Staff Day'.

I have now finished with the L6 Olympiad group and propose to offer a few more sessions to the U6 looking at other 'extension paper' questions. Thursday lunchtimes in 130 at 1.15 p.m. I have emailed all those who took part in the last test, but this is a general invite to anyone else who is targeting a high grade.
