EXAM INFO

The exam will consist of ten physics problems covering a wide variety of topics and requiring varying degrees of knowledge.

The paper consists of 10 problems, each worth a total of 10 marks. For questions with multiple parts, the subdivisions of marks are indicated.
The use of non-medical hardware (including phones, tablets, etc.) and external sources (including textbooks, non-team members, the internet etc.) is not permitted
Scientific, non-programmable and non-graphing calculators, non-smart watches and medical equipment are allowed.
Please place your phones and devices in the envelope at the start for collection. They will be handed back to you at the end of the exam.
When a problem is unclear, a participant can ask, via the invigilators, for a clarification. If the response is relevant to all teams, it will be provided to the other teams.
Organise your work, in a reasonably neat and coherent way. Indicate at the top of each page your team name, the question number, and the page number for that question.
Place all problems in the envelope in order at the end of the exam. If your answer to a question has multiple pages, please staple the pages together for each question.
If it is brought to the invigilators’ attention that a team has been cheating, breaking the rules or misbehaving, they will be disqualified. Disqualification can happen post submission.
In situations to which no rule applies, the UK & Ireland’s PLANCKS Advisory Board will rule on the matter in their capacity as the jury for PLANCKS UK & Ireland.
