Physics Paper Breakdown
Know the format inside-out so you can allocate your time and tailor your revision to each paper type.
Paper 1A: multiple-choice questions. Paper 1B: data-based questions on an experimental scenario. The physics data booklet and a calculator are allowed.
Short-answer and extended-response questions across the whole syllabus, with the extended parts marked on mark bands.
Why Practice Physics Mock Exams?
- Build familiarity with the new-syllabus Paper 1A/1B/2 formats before the real exam
- Master pacing across multiple-choice, data, and extended-response questions
- Identify weak themes (mechanics, waves, fields, nuclear) to target revision
- Practice reading graphs, propagating uncertainties, and quoting units correctly
- Learn what IB examiners reward in worked numerical and explanation answers
- Reduce exam anxiety through repeated realistic timed practice
Physics Exam Tips from Top Scorers
State the equation before substituting
Write the data-booklet equation first, rearrange symbolically, then put the numbers in. Method marks are awarded even if the final value slips.
Always carry the units
A correct number with no unit (or the wrong unit) usually loses the final mark. Check m s⁻¹ vs m s⁻², J vs W, etc.
Read graphs as gradient and area
On a motion or experimental graph, the gradient and the area each give a physical quantity — say which one you are using.
Quote uncertainties sensibly
In Paper 1B, give answers to a sensible number of significant figures and state absolute or percentage uncertainty where asked.
