    There Year 10 Physics Mid GCSE exam consists of short answer questions which are answered on the question paper.

    When answering questions with calculations, follow this format:

    1. Write out the formula
    2. Cleary show the values substituted into the formula
    3. Answer with unit

    When answering descriptive questions, look at the command words.

    Are you asked to “name”, “describe “ or “explain”. This will give you a guide to the level of detail needed as will the marks available and the amount of space allowed for your answer. Try to use correct scientific terminology.

    There is a large amount of revision material available in the Shared Drive on the school network. You should be able to access this from home as well.
