Physics

Assessment

Physics is a fully exam-assessed course. You will be tested on your understanding of forces, motion and astrophysics in paper 1, and electronics, waves and particles in paper 2, there is also a synoptic unified assessment. Physics is a practical subject, and you will complete twelve assessed practicals throughout the course, as well as other non-assessed practicals to give you a good grounding in technical laboratory skills. The twelve assessed practicals will give a ‘practical endorsement’ to your qualification.
