Practice Exams for AS / A Level AQA Physics

Photocopiable write-on exam-style papers for realistic exam practice: four for each of the AS and A Level papers.

Practice makes perfect!

  • Written for the new AQA specification.
  • Cross-referenced to specification – easily see what each paper covers and how marks are distributed.

This resource is highly valuable and supplements the AQA exam materials excellently

  • Full content coverage
  • Full range of question types to perfect exam technique: multiple-choice, short- and long-answer, data analysis, practical skills
  • Full, detailed mark scheme in exam-board style

What do teachers say about this resource? (7606)

I think this is a great resource for supplementing AQA A Level Physics, I would recommend it to anyone who is teaching this qualification, particularly in year 13 with revision and the lead up to the examinations.
I like that the assessments are divided up into section A and section B which mirrors the AQA exams and helps students to feel familiar with the exam paper layout. As always the mark scheme is comprehensive enough but also very reader friendly which is great when students are peer/self assessing work and gaining more of an insight into what is required in their answers - particularly for the longer answer questions.
I think this resource would be very beneficial both for checking of learner's progress and revision. These assessments could be used as mock exams throughout the year to check student progress or given altogether as a booklet for students to work through at their own pace to aid revision as there are limited AQA past papers.
The assessments included are very comprehensive and cover every area in the specification. I think this resource is highly valuable and supplements the AQA exam materials excellently.

An excellent resource for the new specification A very good range of four different tests which covers the entire specification Stretches the most able students Helps students understand concepts during revision Matches the AQA new specification very well Excellent for use for revision and test purposes

What do teachers say about this resource? (7638)

Very useful resource for this option which gives students and teachers an extra resource apart from past papers. Good use of diagrams and formulae to demonstrate.
Good detailed testing on relativity and on wave-particle duality.
It has been well set out with answers after each paper and long answers generally described well.
This resource is excellent for the understanding of the Option of Turning Points and help revision of the topic and assists with homework’s as the student goes through this option.

Very useful. Targeted at the correct level.

P Boland, Head of Science & Peer Reviewer

I think this is a good resource which can assist both students and teachers in preparing for the paper 3A exam in various ways. Each practice paper includes a range of questions based on the required practicals, and these can be used as set practice papers or split up by practical to support students learning. Each practice paper is supplied with a comprehensive mark scheme, which shows clearly which information is required for each mark which is helpful for students when self-assessing and reflecting on their work. It also gives additional information at times which is helpful.
Each required practical is covered by at least one question throughout the practice papers. I think the questions interpret the specification well and each question has been thought out thoroughly. There are clear links to the necessary calculation and data handling skills.
