Students are required to memorise 21 Physics equations in the new GCSE Trilogy specification. Students can find this very daunting so I separated the equations out into the equations they need to know for Paper 1 (Energy, Electricity, Particles and Atomic Structure) and Paper 2 (Forces, Waves and Magnetism and Electromagnetism) so that instead of having to memorise all 21 equations for each paper, they can just focus on 14 equations for Paper 1 and 13 equations for Paper 2 (note: some equations are used in both papers). That way, since the Paper 1 and Paper 2 are likely to be a week apart, they can just focus on the equations relevant to their exams. This is especially important as the maths skills (including the use of equations) account for 30% of the marks in the Physics papers. I have also separated out the equations for Paper 1 and 2 on the equation sheet that WILL BE GIVEN to them on the test, just to help them while they are revising and so they have an idea of which equations are likely to be relevant for each paper.

Students are required to memorise 23 Physics equations in the new GCSE specification. Students can find this very daunting so I separated the equations out into the equations they need to know for Paper 1 (Energy, Electricity, Particles and Atomic Structure) and Paper 2 (Forces, Waves, Magnetism and Electromagnetism and Space Physics) so that instead of having to memorise all 23 equations for each paper, they can just focus on 14 equations for Paper 1 and 15 equations for Paper 2 (note: some equations are used in both papers).

Exam tips for how to approach a GCSE Physics paper (although many of the tips are applicable to Biology and Chemistry as well) in order to manage time and maximise marks. Also introduces an acronym for a methodical approach to answering calculation questions (very important as 30% of the marks from the Physics papers are for mathematical skills) in order to prevent small mistakes that cost students a lot of cumulative marks. Includes the headings: Before you start the test (at the beginning of the exam), During the test, How to answer questions with calculations, and When checking your work.

This is designed for the AQA Physics / Trilogy GCSE, although the tips apply to the Biology and Chemistry required practicals as well. This details tips and gives an outline structure for how to approach 4 or 6 mark questions asking students to describe a required practical. Students find these extremely difficult so I made this to try to help them to standardise their approach.
