Why the exam board actually matters
AQA, OCR, Edexcel, and CIE all teach broadly the same physics, but they structure the exam very differently. Edexcel splits its papers around discrete topic areas, AQA leans synoptic — pulling multiple topics into a single question — and each board has its own required or core practicals with different write-up expectations. A student who prepares generically, without knowing their board’s specific paper structure and command-word style, is effectively studying for a different exam than the one they’ll sit.
What the course covers
- Full AS and A-Level content across AQA, OCR, Edexcel, and CIE
- Board-specific paper structure and command-word practice
- Required and core practical write-ups, matched to your board’s mark scheme style
- Synoptic-question practice for boards that test that way
- Past paper practice matched to your specific exam board, not a generic set
How the coaching works
The first step is always identifying the exact board and specification a student is studying, since that shapes everything after it — which practicals need writing up a certain way, which paper types to drill, and which command words the mark scheme actually rewards. From there, sessions combine concept teaching with board-matched past paper practice.
