Physics 9702 · for examination in 2025, 2026 and 2027
Cambridge International AS & A Level Physics practice papers
Two original mixed-format practice papers: AS topics 1–11 and additional A-Level topics 12–25. Each combines multiple choice, structured reasoning and an experiment-planning or data-analysis task. Use them to practise a range of skills; they do not reproduce the official Cambridge paper format.
Written by GioPhysics from the published syllabus. These are practice papers in the style of Cambridge International AS & A Level Physics 9702; they are not Cambridge papers, contain no past-paper questions, and the official syllabus and specimen materials remain the authority.

How A Level examines
Cambridge's official assessment comprises five papers. Paper 1 has 40 multiple-choice questions on AS content. Paper 2 has AS structured questions. Paper 3 is a laboratory practical. Paper 4 has 100 marks of advanced structured questions in two hours and assumes AS knowledge. Paper 5 assesses experiment planning, data analysis and evaluation: 30 marks in 1 hour 15 minutes. A data sheet is provided in Papers 1, 2 and 4.
Practise selecting a route through multi-step calculations, showing the working that leads to a given result, and explaining a physical mechanism. The final task on each practice paper develops planning or analysis skills, including uncertainty treatment. These written tasks support, rather than replace, supervised practical experience.
