The Advanced Higher Physics course contains three units (Rotational Motion and Astrophysics, Quanta and Waves and Electromagnetism). The three units will be individually assessed in school and will all be assessed together in a final exam in May. pupils will also complete a project on an aspect of the Advanced Higher course worth 30 marks. A range of resources to support pupils are shown below.

Past papers
Past papers are an excellent way for pupils to prepare for a prelim or final exam. Pupils should attempt questions then mark them themselves. If they are unsure of anything they should contact their class teacher. Pupils can attempt all questions from the new CfE Advanced Higher papers. Pupils can attempt all questions from the Revised Advanced Higher past papers although the mark allocations are now different. Pupils can attempt some questions from the Old Advanced Higher past papers and should consult the guide to see which are suitable.
