Topic question packs

NEW

Every legacy 2008-spec WJEC question (PH1, PH2, PH4, PH5), hand-sorted into the seven 2015 Unit 1 topics and re-laid-out as printable revision packs — cover, spec recap, crib sheet, whole questions with full marks and sections preserved. The two big topics (Kinematics, Dynamics) are split into narrower single-topic packs so you can target one sub-skill at a time, and Topic 7 (Particles & Nuclear Structure) is now included.

Eduqas & legacy WJEC routes

AS

Method 1 · Eduqas AS

Eduqas runs the same specification as WJEC AS Physics, so their papers work for revision. PMT have collated them:

Method 2 · Eduqas A-level components

Eduqas A-level covers AS content within Components 1 and 2 — cherry-pick by topic using the Eduqas specification to find which component covers what you need.

Method 3 · WJEC legacy spec (pre-2016)

The legacy 6-unit spec covered the same physics with different unit organisation. Use the per-unit topic question packs above (expand a unit to find them), or for the raw papers, check PMT — watching out for dropped content like the moved “Solids under stress” topic.

A2

Method 1 · Eduqas components

Eduqas A2 maps to Components 1, 2 and 3. Use the Eduqas specification to find which component covers your topic.

Method 2 · WJEC legacy spec (pre-2016)

Same caveat — content has shifted. “Nuclear Energy” was Unit 5 in the legacy spec, but control rods and coolants are no longer assessed.
