Physics A-Level

Assessment

In AS Physics, Modules 1-5 are assessed while all modules are assessed at A-Level Physics. At AS you sit two separate papers where you are assessed on your knowledge of topics 1-5 and your ability to apply this knowledge to unfamiliar situations. In the full A-Level all 13 topics are assessed, again requiring you to apply your knowledge to both familiar and unfamiliar situations and there is an additional synoptic paper. Practical work is only assessed at A-Level by the teacher as Pass/Fail however Core Practicals are examined in the written papers at both AS and A level. A minimum of 40% of the marks in both AS and A level Physics are for mathematics.
