Mock exams in January: Here is what you need to revise

How you're assessed

      The papers will probably be in this order on your exam timetable:

Paper 5 practical exam: It lasts 1 hour 15 minutes and is worth 20% of your final marks. In that time you do 4 experiments.

Paper 4 is the written-answer paper, it's 50% of your final marks. It lasts 1 hour 15 minutes.

Paper 2 is multiple-choice, counts for 30% of your final marks and lasts 45 minutes.

Exam dates will appear here as soon as they're available.

What's in the course?

         IGCSE physics student checklist - things you need to know about.

Formula sheet

In the IGCSE Physics exams you do not get a formula sheet. Yes, you'll get a few formulae in the questions themselves - but you're expected to know the equations that you'll need.       Download a formula sheet to learn here
