A: The definitive 2025/26 handbook to scoring an A in H2 Physics: syllabus changes, Paper-4 spreadsheet skills, SUVAT-to-Fields transfer drills.
TL;DR
The 2026 H2 Physics spec gives 20 % of the grade to a spreadsheet-based practical, kills the mid-year exam, and demands that IP students juggle electromagnetism, fields and SHM barely eight months after their Year-4 promos.
This guide maps every assessment cliff, links out to our proven IP Physics tuition scaffolds, and hands parents a term-by-term action plan.
1 | Syllabus & Assessment at a Glance
Paper | Weight | Core skills & pitfalls |
Paper 1 (30 MCQ) | 15 % | Sign-logic traps, vectors & units discipline |
Paper 2 (Structured) | 30 % | SUVAT ↔ fields transfer, calculus fluency |
Paper 3 (Long Q) | 35 % | Data-handling, SHM-energy synthesis, free response |
Paper 4 (Practical) | 20 % | Spreadsheet =LINEST() gradient ± SE, uncertainty ACE paragraphs |
The 2026 SEAB syllabus explicitly states “Candidates may use a spreadsheet to process and analyse data” — quoting
