It has up to 6 papers depending on tier and practical route.

All candidates also complete either Paper 5 (Practical Test) or Paper 6 (Alternative to Practical).
Motion, Forces and Energy and Electricity and Magnetism tend to involve the most calculation-heavy questions, covering areas like speed, acceleration, force, work done, and circuit calculations involving current, voltage, and resistance. Thermal Physics also introduces calculations around specific heat capacity and latent heat. Since these formulas reappear across multiple question types, practising them in varied contexts is more useful than memorising them in isolation.
Whether you sit Paper 5 (Practical Test) or Paper 6 (Alternative to Practical), the focus is on your ability to take accurate measurements, identify patterns in results, and evaluate the reliability of an experimental method. The most effective preparation is working through past practical-style questions under timed conditions and paying close attention to command words like “state” and “explain,” since these signal exactly how much detail an answer needs.
Space Physics introduces foundational astronomy concepts such as the solar system, stars, and the structure of the universe, including basic ideas about orbital motion and the life cycle of stars. It’s a relatively self-contained topic compared to others in the syllabus, which makes it a good one to revise close to your exam since it doesn’t require building on multiple earlier chapters.
