Exam Techniques

Most A-Level Physics students don’t lose marks because they don’t understand the physics. They lose marks because they don’t know how to answer the question. That might sound surprising. It shouldn’t. Exam technique is the single biggest lever you can pull to improve your A-Level Physics grade — and yet it’s the one thing most students don’t realise they’re missing. They revise content. They practise questions. They work hard. But no one ever explicitly teaches them how examiners are expecting answers to be structured, phrased, and targeted. In this video, I explain why that happens — and what to do about it. You’ll learn: • Why “I understood this in class” isn’t enough in an exam • How A-Level Physics questions can be turned into clear instructions on what to write • Why writing more often scores fewer marks • How exam technique quietly separates C grades from A and A* grades This is the exact approach we use with our A-Level Physics students at 42 Tutoring — and it’s one of the reasons students often see rapid improvements once they finally understand how the exam actually works. If you’ve ever felt that Physics exams are vague, picky, or unfair — this video will change how you see them. 📌 Watch the video, then decide: are you revising physics… or are you training for the exam?
