What examiners said

Few candidates managed to complete the calculation. Some candidates chose to multiply the weight by the mass rather than divide weight by mass.

— Examiner report, October/November 2023, 0654/33 Q3(c) (Cambridge)

Candidates found this question challenging; most candidates answered with gravity or weight rather than the Earth.

— Examiner report, October/November 2019, 0654/33 Q3(a)(iii) (Cambridge)

Most knew that weight is the effect of gravitational field on a mass, while some others wrote magnetic.
