The EOY examines the whole Sec 3 physics year: measurement and kinematics, forces, pressure and moments, energy and power, and the thermal physics pair — the kinetic particle model and thermal processes. Later chapters usually carry extra weight, so revise energy and thermal physics last-minute-proof.
Set out like a school paper, with a separate mark scheme for checking.

The whole Sec 3 year: measurement, kinematics, force and pressure, dynamics, moments, energy, work and power, the kinetic particle model, and thermal processes. Most schools weight the later chapters more heavily.
Formats vary by school. This practice paper has 60 marks and takes 90 minutes, with twenty multiple-choice questions and five structured questions.
