Physics

Assessment

These are examined across three exam papers as well as the practical endorsement, which is a separate qualification. Paper 1 – Modelling physics This paper assesses modules 1, 2, 3, and 5. It is 2 hours and 15 minutes long and is worth 100 marks, or approximately 37% of the total A level. Paper 2 – Exploring physics This covers modules 1, 2, 4, and 6. It is the same length and has the same weighting as paper 1. Paper 3 – Unified physics This paper covers all topics and lasts an hour and a half. It is worth 70 marks, which is approximately 26% of the total.
