IAL Physics Unit 1 Prediction Paper 2026

This resource is a prediction practice paper for Edexcel IAL Physics Unit 1 (WPH11/01) — Mechanics and Materials, designed for the 2026 exam series. It includes:

• A full 90-minute practice paper with 25 questions covering kinematics, forces, energy, materials, viscosity, and Young’s modulus.
• A complete official mark scheme with detailed scoring guidance.
• Handwritten worked solutions showing step-by-step methods and calculations.
• Coverage of core practicals (falling ball, Young’s modulus) and key theory from the specification.

How to use in the classroom:

• As a mock exam under timed conditions.
• For topic-specific revision — select questions by area (e.g., Q11–12 on viscosity, Q24 on Young’s modulus).
• For peer- or self-assessment using the mark scheme.
• To demonstrate exam technique and how to structure answers, especially for asterisked questions.

Files included:

1. Question Paper (PDF)
2. Mark Scheme (PDF)
3. Handwritten Solutions (PDF)

This pack is ideal for teachers preparing students for the January/June 2026 exam series, offering authentic practice with examiner-style questions and clear marking criteria.
