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.
