Physics

Assessment

The A Level is assessed through three examinations and an internal practical endorsement. The three examinations are: 1. Modelling Physics (2 hours 15 minutes – 100 marks) This component is split into two sections and assesses content from teaching modules 1, 2, 3 and 5. Section A (15 marks) contains multiple choice questions. Section B (85 marks) includes short answer question styles (structured questions, problem solving, calculations, practical) and extended response questions. 2. Exploring Physics (2 hours 15 minutes – 100 marks) This component is split into two sections and assesses content from teaching modules 1, 2, 4 and 6. Section A (15 marks) contains multiple choice questions. Section B (85 marks) includes short answer question styles (structured questions, problem solving, calculations, practical) and extended response questions. 3. Unified Physics (1 hour 30 minutes – 70 marks) This component assesses content from across all teaching modules 1 to 6. Question styles include short answer (structured questions, problem solving, calculations, practical) and extended response questions.
