Over the course of the first year of study topics 1-4 will be studied. There will be two assessment points in the year – November and June. Assessments will be 1.5 hours.
The papers may include multiple choice, short responses, calculations, and extended writing questions. The papers will also include questions that target the conceptual and theoretical understanding of experimental work.
Following the internal assessment in June, students will begin work on year 2 material, as well as completing an independent Research project.
During the second year of study, all topics will be studied. This section of study assessment is broken by three papers:
- Paper 1 – 2.25 hours written (37%) – Modelling in Physics (all topics)
- Paper 2 – 2.25 hours written (37%) – Exploring Physics (all topics)
- Paper 3 – 26% 1.5 hours written (26%)- Unified Physics (all topics)
All three of the papers may include multiple choice, short responses, calculations, and extended writing questions. The paper will include questions that
target the conceptual and theoretical understanding on experimental work.
