ASSESSMENT
Three written papers at the end of Year 13:
Paper 1: Advanced Physics I (1 hour 45 minutes)
Paper 2: Advanced Physics II (1 hour 45 minutes)
Paper 3: General and Practical Principles in Physics (2 hours 30 minutes)
All exam papers will include a wide range of question types including multiple choice, short answer and
extended response questions. Students will have the opportunity to demonstrate knowledge of both
theory and practical skills through the examinations.
Mathematical skills will make up 40% of the assessments so students will need to be confident in their
mathematical skills learnt at GCSE and it is advisable to take A-Level Maths alongside Physics.
Practical Endorsement A separate grade (Pass/Fail) will be awarded for practical based work carried
out throughout the two years of the course.
Required Course Materials Pupils will be required to have a copy of the A-Level Physics text
