Physics

Assessment

Assessment:The whole of the A level Physics course is examined at the end of the full course. There are three theory papers and a practical skills assessment. Your grade is determined by how well you do on the theory papers. Your result in the practical is noted as an endorsement alongside your A-level grade. The papers are: 2 papers each covering about half of the main course content. A third paper with data response / synoptic questions which can come from any part of the specification, plus questions on the option topic (see earlier). The practical skills assessment involves performing a series of twelve experiments in class time which are assessed throughout the 2 year course
