WJEC A Level Physics past papers
30 WJEC A Level Physics papers from 2016 to 2025, 30 with a mark scheme. Every link opens the document on WJEC'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 WJEC A Level Physics papers we have tagged question by question. Topics with a revision guide link to it.
| Topic | Questions | Marks | Papers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mechanics and Materials | 38 | 484 | 11 of 24 |
| Physics: Fields (Gravitational, Electric, Magnetic) | 26 | 386 | 7 of 24 |
| Waves | 28 | 322 | 11 of 24 |
| Further Mechanics and Thermal Physics | 21 | 322 | 9 of 24 |
| Particles and Radiation | 22 | 261 | 14 of 24 |
| Fields and their Consequences | 16 | 261 | 4 of 24 |
| A-Level Physics: Required Practicals and Uncertainties | 20 | 245 | 14 of 24 |
| Electricity | 17 | 189 | 8 of 24 |
| Physics: Thermal Physics and Gases | 10 | 123 | 7 of 24 |
| Physics: Nuclear and Particle Physics | 9 | 117 | 5 of 24 |
| Nuclear Physics | 8 | 98 | 5 of 24 |
Counted from our own question-by-question tagging of 24 papers. A question that tests two topics counts towards both, so the marks column ranks topics rather than adding up to a paper total.
