About

✏️ Paper first! Work out every question on paper before you tap Show solution. Write down every step – the equation, the numbers with units, the rearranging and the answer with its unit. In the exam, if your final answer is wrong you can still get marks for correct working, but only if the examiner can see it.

The Physics Question Bank is a free revision site for AQA GCSE Physics (8463) and the physics in AQA GCSE Combined Science: Trilogy (8464). It was made by a UK physics teacher to give students lots of practice – with a full worked solution for every question.

What’s on the site

  • Every equation on the specification – 35 pages, each with 10 real-life questions that ramp from Foundation to Higher.
  • Practice – mixed “which equation?” sets, multi-step problems and maths skills.
  • Notes and questions for every topic that isn’t a calculation, plus key definitions and long-answer exam questions with model answers.
  • Required practicals and working scientifically.
  • One-hour lessons you can work through on your own, each with a real-world task and exam practice.

How to use it

  1. Paper first. Always work the question out on paper before you look at the answer.
  2. Use FIFA for every calculation: Formula, Insert, Fix (rearrange), Answer with a unit.
  3. Check and correct. Mark your work against the solution and fix mistakes in a different colour.
  4. Keep the equation sheet next to you – download it from the Equation sheet page.

Good to know

  • This site is independent and is not endorsed by or affiliated with AQA. All questions and answers are original, written to match the AQA specification.
  • Values used: g = 9.8 N/kg and specific heat capacity of water = 4200 J/kg °C, unless a question says otherwise.
  • Some pages link to or embed videos by Free Science Lessons and Cognito, whose free videos are brilliant for revision. Stopping-distance data comes from the Highway Code.
  • Some tasks in the lessons use made-up but realistic data (such as costs for the island or house tasks) – these aren’t official figures.

Spotted a mistake?

Every question has been checked, but if you think an answer is wrong, please tell your physics teacher so it can be fixed. Good luck with your exams!
