Default GCSE physics test

Many years ago, I took my GCE O-levels including physics (and passed), I took this GCSE Physics "test" on Yahoo and thought: "they have to be kidding".

https://uk.news.yahoo.com/quiz-gcse-...104229978.html

Don't they have questions (and calculations) on forces and Newton's Laws? I seem to remember hours of s=ut+½av², ft=mv, f=ma, kinetic energy, potential energy.
Learning that centrifugal force does not exist (still have problems with that), how many average people have heard of centripetal?

Anyway, the test was ridiculously simple.
(note of shame - I failed my A-level physics)

edit - the maths test is just as simple:

It's called dumbing down, GCSE today more like CSE was...

Default Re: GCSE physics test

i was in the dumb class at school but got all questions correct.



what the fek have any of those questions go to do with physics.... its more brain washing ideals into youngsters. the person in charge of the education system should be taken out and shot.
