Detailed Information

About A-Level Physics

01

About the A-Level Physics Exam

A-Level Physics covers mechanics, waves, electricity, fields, nuclear physics and particle physics, and is one of the most important exams for engineering and science programs. CIE (Paper 1-5) and Edexcel formats differ, but both emphasize both theoretical knowledge and experimental skills.

02

The Path to A* in A-Level Physics

A-Level Physics success requires strong mathematical skills, conceptual understanding and the ability to design and analyze experiments. TestPrep Physics tutors teach formula derivations, graph analysis, unit conversions and experimental design techniques in an applied manner. Special practice is provided for CIE Paper 5 (Planning, Analysis and Evaluation) or Edexcel practical assessment questions.

Quick Answers

What's the structure of CIE A-Level Physics?

AS (Year 12): Paper 1 (MCQ) + Paper 2 (structured) + Paper 3 (practical). A2 (Year 13): Paper 4 (structured) + Paper 5 (planning, analysis, evaluation).

How many marks for an A*?

Typically ~85% raw. An A in AS plus A* raw on A2 papers and 85%+ overall secures A*.

What is the practical paper (Paper 3)?

AS: 2-hour lab exam. Data collection, graphing, uncertainty analysis. A2 Paper 5 is written planning and evaluation.

Is Math A-Level required alongside?

Most universities require Math A-Level, especially for engineering/physics. Without it, A2 calculus topics in Pure 3 become a stretch.
