Sketch the situation
Draw the forces, circuit or wave before calculating. State useful assumptions and identify what the model leaves out.
Keep quantities meaningful
Convert units deliberately and explain which relationship applies. Estimate the size of the result before accepting the calculator answer.
Read experimental evidence
Connect a graph’s gradient or intercept with a physical quantity. Discuss uncertainty and whether the conclusion is justified.
UK A level or International Advanced Level?
This overview covers the UK 9PH0 qualification. Pearson Edexcel International Advanced Level has a different structure. Check the entry code before choosing papers or booking course-specific support.

It can support your understanding of experiments. The separately reported practical endorsement must be organised and assessed through your school or centre.
Bring a question you attempted, including your working. During a free 15-minute introduction, discuss whether the difficulty lies in the physics, mathematics or interpreting the wording.
