GCSE Physics Paper 1: We Got You...

📅 Thursday 22nd May 📅

Hello lovelies!

Us again. I always just want to share our resources with you so that at least that part’s easier for you!

As always here are a few key tips to sharpen your technique and boost your confidence, plus links to revision videos, resources and our live support sessions the night before the exam.

📄 1. Use the Equation Sheet

Seriously. Don’t waste time trying to recall formulas if they’re given to you.

• Always check the equation sheet first

• Match up the units in the question

• If you're unsure of the unit, look at the context, or use dimensional analysis (what units cancel out to get what you need)

🧮 2. Show All Your Working Clearly

Even if your final answer is wrong, you can still grab method marks.

• Write the formula

• Sub in the numbers

• Show your steps, especially in energy, electricity, and particle model calculations

🔍 3. Read the Question Carefully… Especially Multi-Step Ones

Physics loves to layer information.

• Use values from part (a) in part (b)

• Underline key values, units, or tricky wording

• Pay close attention to command words like calculate, explain, describe. They tell you how much detail is needed
