Advice for year 11 students considering physics A-level

Physics at A-level is a fascinating and highly-valued subject, but there is quite a jump from GCSE to the year 12 content, and therefore your GCSE ability should be very strong before you consider taking on A-level. We recommend the following

• Use the GCSE to A Level Transition booklet to support your move to A Level Physics. It is full of important information and key activities to develop the necessary skills for the course.

• Read through the A-level specification.  Does it interest you enough to study it at depth for two years?

• Finally, try some A-level questions from some of the past papers on the AQA website, to give an idea of depth and content required in examinations.
