Prepare your students with confidence for the Edexcel International A Level Physics Unit 6 (Practical Skills in Physics II) examination. This Alpha Prediction Paper has been carefully designed by an experienced examiner to mirror the style, difficulty, and content of the real exam, based on analysis of past trends, specification priorities, and common practical scenarios.

What’s included?

• Full predicted question paper (one complete Unit 6 paper) – approximately 1 hour 20 minutes.
• Detailed mark scheme with worked solutions, common errors, and marking points.
• Examiner tips highlighting how to maximise marks on graph plotting, uncertainty calculations, and conclusion writing.

Key topics and skills covered:

• Planning and designing a practical investigation (variables, method, risk assessment).
• Data collection, tabulation, and significant figures.
• Graphical analysis: plotting, lines of best fit, gradients, intercepts, and error bars.
• Calculating uncertainties, percentage uncertainty, and combining uncertainties.
• Linearising equations to test a physical relationship.
• Evaluating experimental procedures and suggesting improvements.
• Core practical experiments likely to appear: resistivity, Young modulus, specific heat capacity, electrical circuits, oscillations, or viscosity.

Why choose this resource?

• Exam‑board specific – fully aligned with the latest Edexcel IAL Physics specification (Units 6: WPH11/12/13).
• Highly realistic – question types, command words, and mark allocations match genuine past papers.
• °Õ¾±³¾±ð‑s²¹±¹¾±²Ô²µ – ready to print and use as a mock exam, revision session, or homework assignment.
• Focus on areas where students lose marks – e.g. writing detailed procedures, correct handling of uncertainties, and drawing valid conclusions.

Suitable for:

• Teachers running in‑class mocks or intervention sessions.
• Independent students seeking authentic exam practice under timed conditions.

File format: PDF (printable) & editable Word document for mark scheme.
