General Information
One of the missions of ASU Preparatory Academy is to be globally competitive. To help meet this mission, students will be taking the IGCSE Physics Cambridge test at the end of the school year.
You will take the following tests:
Dates for the tests will be posted once Cambridge sends us the information.
During the month of May, I will be holding weekly review sessions. Go to the "Additional Resources" tab for the schedule of when we will meet and which topics we will cover.
You will take the following tests:
- Paper 2: Extended Multiple Choice - 6/12 (45 minutes)
- Paper 4: Extended Structured Questions (free response) - 5/22 PM (1 hour, 15 minutes)
- Paper 6: Alternative to Practical (on-paper laboratory experiment) - 5/9 PM (1 hour)
Dates for the tests will be posted once Cambridge sends us the information.

Here are some additional resources for preparing yourself for the test. In additional to the multiple-choice and free-response portions of the test, you will be performing an "on paper" experiment for the "Practical" portion of the exam. For both the free response and practical portions of the IGCSE Level test, you need to put correct units. For the free response portion you need to show full work in order to get credit.
You will not receive an equation sheet for any portion of the test.
