Join our Telegram study groupQ: What does Physics Tuition: A-Level (H2) Master IP Student Guide cover?
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 twenty percent of the grade to a spreadsheet-based practical, phases out mid-year exams, and demands that IP students juggle electromagnetism, fields and SHM barely eight months after their Year-4 promos.
This guide maps key assessment cliffs, links out to our 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 percent | Sign-logic traps, vectors & units discipline |
| Paper 2 (Structured) | 30 percent | SUVAT ↔ fields transfer, calculus fluency |
| Paper 3 (Long Q) | 35 percent | Data-handling, SHM-energy synthesis, free response |
| Paper 4 (Practical) | Twenty percent | Spreadsheet =LINEST() gradient ± SE, uncertainty ACE paragraphs |
The 2026 SEAB syllabus explicitly states “Candidates may use a spreadsheet to process and analyse data”
