OCR AS Level Physics past papers
40 OCR AS Level Physics papers from 2016 to 2025, 40 with a mark scheme and 18 with an examiners' report. Every link opens the document on OCR's own website; we list them in one place and show which topics each series tested.
Which topics come up most
The topics that have carried the most marks across the OCR AS Level Physics papers we have tagged question by question. Topics with a revision guide link to it.
| Topic | Questions | Marks | Papers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mechanics and Materials | 108 | 486 | 16 of 16 |
| Waves | 59 | 248 | 16 of 16 |
| Electricity | 55 | 202 | 16 of 16 |
| A-Level Physics: Required Practicals and Uncertainties | 21 | 170 | 11 of 16 |
| Particles and Radiation | 35 | 150 | 15 of 16 |
| Measurements and their Errors | 16 | 64 | 9 of 16 |
| Further Mechanics and Thermal Physics | 1 | 8 | 1 of 16 |
Counted from our own question-by-question tagging of 16 papers. A question that tests two topics counts towards both, so the marks column ranks topics rather than adding up to a paper total.
