Updated: 2026-10-21

**The short answer.** A ready-made A Level Physics program is planned for Tutix. Until it is ready, you can start an A Level Physics class today: type the subject, add your syllabus or notes, and the AI tutor teaches it live, reads your answers and remembers each class. This page explains how Cambridge 9702 is examined.

- Cambridge syllabus 9702
- Ready-made program planned; classes built from your syllabus today
- Exams are in the June and November series, and in March for centres in India.
- AS is the first half of an A Level

## Where Tutix is today

A ready-made A Level Physics program is planned and not available yet. You can start a A Level Physics class now: the tutor teaches live from your syllabus or notes. Ready-made programs exist for other courses.

## The qualification

Cambridge International AS & A Level Physics is syllabus 9702. The syllabus for exams in 2025 to 2027 is the 2025-2027 syllabus; a 2028-2030 syllabus follows. Exams are in the June and November series, and in March for centres in India. AS candidates are eligible for grades a to e (in lower case) and A Level candidates for A* to E.

## The papers

| Paper | Title | Time | Marks | AS share | A Level share |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | Multiple choice (AS content) | 1 h 15 | 40 | 31% | 15.5% |
| 2 | AS structured questions | 1 h 15 | 60 | 46% | 23% |
| 3 | Advanced Practical Skills | 2 h | 40 | 23% | 11.5% |
| 4 | A Level structured questions (A Level content; AS knowledge required) | 2 h | 100 | Not offered | 38.5% |
| 5 | Planning, Analysis and Evaluation | 1 h 15 | 30 | Not offered | 11.5% |

AS is Papers 1, 2 and 3 taken together in one series. The A Level is all five papers, staged over two years or all in one series. Papers 3 and 5 test practical skills in an exam, not as coursework.

## What the marks test

At both AS and A Level, Cambridge gives 40% to knowledge and understanding, 40% to handling, applying and evaluating information and 20% to experimental skills and investigations. Cambridge calls these weightings approximate.

| Assessment objective | AS Level | A Level |
| --- | --- | --- |
| AO1 Knowledge and understanding | 40% | 40% |
| AO2 Handling, applying and evaluating information | 40% | 40% |
| AO3 Experimental skills and investigations | 20% | 20% |

| Assessment objective | Paper 1 | Paper 2 | Paper 3 | Paper 4 | Paper 5 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| AO1 Knowledge and understanding | 50% | 50% | 0% | 50% | 0% |
| AO2 Handling, applying and evaluating information | 50% | 50% | 0% | 50% | 0% |
| AO3 Experimental skills and investigations | 0% | 0% | 100% | 0% | 100% |

## What the syllabus covers

Cambridge lists eleven topics for AS Level Physics, numbered 1 to 11, and 14 more for the full A Level, numbered 12 to 25. Candidates at both levels also study practical skills.

### AS Level topics

1. Physical quantities and units
2. Kinematics
3. Dynamics
4. Forces, density and pressure
5. Work, energy and power
6. Deformation of solids
7. Waves
8. Superposition
9. Electricity
10. D.C. circuits
11. Particle physics

### Added at A Level

12. Motion in a circle
13. Gravitational fields
14. Temperature
15. Ideal gases
16. Thermodynamics
17. Oscillations
18. Electric fields
19. Capacitance
20. Magnetic fields
21. Alternating currents
22. Quantum physics
23. Nuclear physics
24. Medical physics
25. Astronomy and cosmology

## How to prepare with Tutix today

Type A Level Physics in the class wizard, attach your own notes or syllabus if you have them, choose a tutor and join: the tutor teaches on a shared whiteboard and reads what you write while you are still in class.

A class, opened. A sample written to show how a class sounds (not a real learner); the scores show how the exam would credit each answer.

> **Kinematics · Uniform acceleration.** Question: A car accelerates uniformly from rest to 20 m s^−1 in 8.0 s. How far does it travel?
> The student wrote: 20 × 8.0 = 160 m (the exam would credit 1 of 3)
> The tutor: 20 m s^−1 is the speed at the end. The car started at rest, so its average speed over the 8 s is lower. What is the average of 0 and 20?
> The student then wrote: average speed = (0 + 20)/2 = 10 m s^−1, so distance = 10 × 8.0 = 80 m. (the exam would credit 3 of 3)

> **What the tutor will not do.** It is built to explain and give feedback, not to write coursework, practical write-ups or any work you hand in as your own. It helps you understand the topic and what a strong answer needs, so the work stays yours.

## What a ready-made program adds, and what it costs

Ready-made programs, such as IGCSE Physics, come with lessons and questions reviewed in advance, at five levels. The Free plan includes 45 live class minutes a month with no card; see the plans.

The twelve ready-made programs are drawn to scale, with a real lesson to read, on the Programs page.

## Questions

**Does Tutix have an A Level Physics program?**

Not ready-made yet; it is planned. Today you can start an A Level Physics class: type the subject, attach your syllabus or notes, and the tutor builds the classes around them.

**What topics are in A Level Physics?**

AS Level covers Physical quantities and units, Kinematics, Dynamics, Forces, density and pressure, Work, energy and power, Deformation of solids, Waves, Superposition, Electricity, D.C. circuits and Particle physics. The A Level adds Motion in a circle, Gravitational fields, Temperature, Ideal gases, Thermodynamics, Oscillations, Electric fields, Capacitance, Magnetic fields, Alternating currents, Quantum physics, Nuclear physics, Medical physics and Astronomy and cosmology. Both levels also assess practical skills.

**What papers are in A Level Physics?**

Paper 1, Multiple choice, 1 h 15; Paper 2, AS structured questions, 1 h 15; Paper 3, Advanced Practical Skills, 2 h; Paper 4, A Level structured questions, 2 h; Paper 5, Planning, Analysis and Evaluation, 1 h 15.

**What is the difference between AS and A Level Physics?**

AS is Papers 1, 2 and 3 taken together in one series. The A Level is all five papers, staged over two years or all in one series. Papers 3 and 5 test practical skills in an exam, not as coursework.

**Which A Level Physics syllabus should I follow?**

The syllabus for exams in 2025 to 2027 is the 2025-2027 syllabus; a 2028-2030 syllabus follows. Check the syllabus your school or exam centre is entering you for.
