A level students will study 9 units in total. 8 are compulsory: Measurements and their errors, Particles and radiation, Waves, Mechanics and materials, Electricity, Further mechanics and thermal Physics, Fields and their consequences and Nuclear Physics. The 9th unit is optional, with a choice from Astrophysics, Medical Physics, Engineering physics, Turning points and Electronics. The first 5 topics can be assessed separately as an AS level, giving greater flexibility for students who are unsure whether to sit an AS or the full A-level course.
Ideally students need to have grade 6 in Physics or 66 in Combined Science , and minimum of a grade 6 in Maths. Candidates without a grade 6 in Maths will find aspects of the course difficult.
Paper 1: (Units 1-5 + 6.1 (Periodic motion)) 2 hours, 85 marks—34% of A level Paper 2: (Units 6.2 - 8) 2 hours, 85 marks—34% of A level Paper 3: (Practical skills and data analysis and optional module) 2 hours, 80 marks—32% of A level
