GCSE Physics Revision Support
We study AQA Physics. Further information can be found at
http://www.aqa.org.uk/subjects/science/gcse/physics-4403
The best method to achieve a good grade is to:

Use the 6 mark answer writing frames

Learn units for key measurements

Learn subject key words for each topic

Use revision guides to complete past exam papers
Assessment:
The course is made up of three exams and one controlled assessment. Each exam is worth
