Question Spotting Anyone?

The Physics paper in SPM 2009 will be on the 3rd of December. As usual, when students come to me for help (or is it me asking them if they need help?)with their physics queries , the inevitable question would be: what questions/topics will come out in the exam?

For the umpteenth time i would tell them that i don't spot questions, but....
there are trial exam questions from other states to look at. Perhaps, one can draw one's prediction on the most likely topic to come out from analysing the exam questions.

I need to remind my students though: don't put too high an expectation on your predictions.
The best strategy would (have been) be covering the various topics thoroughly, then only you can afford the luxury of spotting a few questions. That way, if your predictions go way off the mark, you can always rely on the solid foundation you've laid down since in Form 4.

My eldest son is taking his SPM this year, too. I can just hope he has done his revision meticulously. Only then can I share my predictions with him .....
