A Level Physics is an exciting subject enabling students to appreciate how fundamental Science works and to study the history of the key developments influencing Physics. Year 12 · Measurements and their errors · Particles and Radiation · Waves · Mechanics and Materials · Electricity Year 13 · The full A Level examines all of the above and: · Further Mechanics and Thermal Physics · Fields and their consequences · Nuclear Physics · Option module: Turning points in Physics
Grade 6 in GCSE Physics or at least a Grade 6 in Combined Science Grade 5 in English and Maths and (as per the Institute of Physics) we recommend you also take a Level 3 Maths qualification.
Year 12 internal exams - there will be two ninety minute papers worth 70 marks each, to assess the AS. There is no coursework but practical understanding will be assessed in the papers. Both papers assess the full Year 12 content. Paper 1 has 70 marks of short and long answer questions, split by topic. Paper 2 is split into three sections. Section A: 20 marks of short and long answer questions on practical skills and data analysis. Section B: 20 marks of short and long answer questions from across all areas of AS content. Section C: 30 multiple choice questions. A Level - there will be three two hour papers of 85 marks for Papers 1 and 2 and 80 for the Paper 3. Paper 1 and Paper 2 have 60 marks of short and long answer questions and 25 multiple choice questions on content. Paper 3 has 45 marks of short and long answer questions on practical experiments and data analysis. There are 35 marks of short and long answer questions on the Turning Points in Physics topic.
