There has recently been a considerable growth in research probing student understanding in mechanics. Questions based on four such research probes were included in the end-of-high-school physics examination undertaken by some 5500 students. The results obtained give an indication of the extent to which various interpretations of some physical situations are held in a whole population. The possibilities of using research probes as a basis for assessment questions are also illustrated.
