What the Grade 11 Physical Sciences papers cover
Physical Sciences is split into a physics paper and a chemistry paper. Past papers show you the calculations and definitions that come up every year.
- Paper 1 (Physics): mechanics, momentum and impulse, work, energy and power, the Doppler effect, electrostatics, electric circuits, electrodynamics and the photoelectric effect.
- Paper 2 (Chemistry): organic chemistry, reaction rates, chemical equilibrium, acids and bases, electrochemistry and the fertiliser industry.

How to get the most out of these papers
Write the most recent Physical Sciences paper first, in the full time, without notes. Then mark it with the memo and write down every question where you lost marks. Those questions show the topics to revise next. Once you have revised them, write an older paper and compare your marks. Doing one paper a week in the run-up to the exam is one of the most reliable ways to improve your Physical Sciences results.
