Surveys consistently suggest that a Physics A level is one of the most highly regarded qualifications you can take at school. If you want to study Science, Medicine, Engineering, Computer Science or Maths at a good university then A level Physics will certainly be useful and may be essential. All sorts of career opportunities open up having taken A level Physics, and they do not necessarily relate to Science. And then of course, you should study Physics for the beauty and fun of it.
Seven Grade 5's at GCSE. Grade 7 at GCSE for Maths & Science.
Physics is a linear, two-year course with no exams sat at the end of Lower Sixth that count towards the final grade. The exams are all taken at the end of Upper Sixth. There are three written papers plus a Practical endorsement. Two written papers (both 2 hrs) examine course content and are each worth 34% of the total grade. The third written paper (2 hrs) examines practical skills and the special option module and is worth the remaining 32%. The Practical Endorsement is awarded when the student has shown a level of proficiency in certain practical skills. It does not affect the overall grade.
