Physics

Assessment

In Year 13 the course is divided into three modules, each one assessed by an exam. All exams are synoptic and will assess students on the practical skills and scientific theory covered in Year 12 and Year 13. Papers 1 and 2 use a mixture of multiple-choice and structured questions to assess understanding. In addition to these final exams, students will also be assessed on theory performance across a series of key practical activities carried out periodically during both years of study. This will allow students to pass the practical endorsement for the Physics element of their qualification.
