From practice to the real exam

01
Confirm board
AQA 7408 is most common; OCR (A) H556 and Edexcel 9PH0 are alternatives. All cover the same core content.
02
Cover core + options
Core: Particles & radiation · Waves · Mechanics & materials · Electricity · Periodic motion · Thermal · Fields · Nuclear. Pick one optional topic (Astrophysics, Medical, Engineering, Turning Points, or Electronics).
03
Required practicals
12 required practicals across the spec. Practical endorsement is Pass/Fail; up to 15% of theory marks test understanding.
04
Three papers
Paper 1 + Paper 2: core. Paper 3: practical skills + chosen option. 2 hours each.
05
Maths is half the battle
About 40% of A-Level Physics marks are mathematical. Rearranging equations and using exponential/log functions matter as much as physics concepts.
