About IGCSE Physics Exams

IGCSE Physics past papers test understanding of motion, forces, energy, waves, electricity, magnetism, and nuclear physics. Papers include multiple choice (Papers 1/2), theory questions (Papers 3/4), and practical assessments (Papers 5/6).

Exam tip: Focus on showing your working in calculations - method marks are often available even if the final answer is wrong. Practice drawing and interpreting graphs, as these appear frequently in Paper 4.
