Q: Is there an official “H2 Physics data booklet” for A Levels (9478)?
A: There isn’t a separate “data booklet” PDF like Chemistry. Instead, SEAB provides Data and Formulae pages that appear inside Papers 1, 2 and 3 (printed as pages 2 and 3 of each paper).
Students often search “H2 Physics data booklet” or “H2 Physics formula sheet” because they want to know what is provided in the exam. For H2 Physics (9478), the official reference is called Data and Formulae.
Where to find the official H2 Physics Data and Formulae pages
SEAB states: “Data and Formulae, as printed on pages 41 and 42, will appear as pages 2 and 3 in Papers 1, 2 and 3.”
You can access those pages via the official syllabus PDF:
Status: SEAB H2 Physics (9478) syllabus last checked 2026-01-08. Data and Formulae pages are listed as pp. 41–42 and printed as pp. 2–3 in Papers 1–3.
What’s inside (high-level)
Think of the Data and Formulae pages as the exam’s official quick-reference for:
- SI units, prefixes, and common constants.
- Standard formulae across the core topics (e.g., motion, fields, waves, electricity).
- Relationships you’ll use repeatedly in calculation-heavy questions.
It’s not a replacement for understanding: you still need to know which model applies, how to rearrange equations quickly, and how to justify assumptions in explanations.
How to use Data and Formulae under exam timing
1) Start with units and symbols before you start calculating
Most “formula mistakes” are actually unit mistakes. Before you substitute:
- Convert everything to consistent SI units (especially ,
