Course Outline
Aim
- The revision course is designed for students who will be sitting the Edexcel A2 Physics examination in the summer of 2012. The Edexcel A2 Physics course can be covered following a concept-led approach or a context-led topic approach. The two approaches, however, cover the same specification content. The revision course is based on this common content.
- The emphasis of the course will be on examination technique and the consolidation of basic principles and facts.
- Specimen paper questions and questions from past papers relevant to the new A2 Physics course will be worked through and examiners’ mark schemes will be provided.
- The A2 revision course will run for 18 hours over three consecutive FULL days and the detailed content of each day is shown below.
