AQA A Level Physics — Specification 7408
Three papers. One AQA A Level Physics specification your tutor knows inside out.
AQA A Level Physics (7408) is assessed across three written papers, each two hours long, totalling 34 marks for practical skills alone. The specification spans twelve topic areas, from Measurements and their Errors through to Astrophysics, with required practicals embedded throughout both years of study.
Paper 1 — Sections 1–5: Measurements, Particles, Waves, Mechanics, and Electricity
Paper 2 — Sections 6–8 plus 1–4: Further Mechanics, Thermal Physics, Fields, and Nuclear
Paper 3 — Section A: Practical skills and data analysis (compulsory); Section B: one optional topic
Required Practicals — 12 practicals that directly inform Paper 3 Section A questions
Assessment Objectives — AO1 Knowledge (30%), AO2 Application (40%), AO3 Analysis (30%)

AQA A Level Physics Grading System
AQA A Level Physics is graded A* to E, with A* awarded only at A Level (not AS). Grade boundaries are set each session based on overall performance across all three papers.
Top Performers – A* Award
The A* grade at AQA A Level requires an overall A grade combined with 90% or above averaged across Paper 1 and Paper 2 uniform marks.

Why AQA A Level Physics is harder than it looks
AQA A Level Physics demands mathematical fluency alongside conceptual understanding, and the jump from GCSE is steep. This section covers what makes it difficult, what a 1:1 tutor changes, and what a well-supported student can realistically achieve.
AQA A Level Physics is one of the most mathematically demanding A Level subjects. Students must handle calculus-based derivations in the Fields and Further Mechanics topics, interpret unfamiliar data in Paper 3 Section A, and apply equations not listed on the formula sheet.
For families in the GCC following the British curriculum, AQA Physics is often chosen alongside A Level Mathematics and Chemistry as a gateway to engineering, medicine, and physical sciences degrees at UK universities. The specification is linear, meaning all assessment happens at the end of Year 13, which increases the stakes for each paper.
A 1:1 AQA Physics tutor addresses what classroom teaching cannot: the 12 required practicals each carry exam weight in Paper 3, and many students lose marks not through lack of knowledge but through unfamiliarity with the specific command words AQA uses, such as "explain," "show that," and "determine." Online tutoring through Talimat means your child can work through past paper questions with immediate, targeted feedback.
Key takeaways
- Paper 3 Section A tests all 12 required practicals directly
- AQA uses specific command words that cost marks if misread
- Linear assessment means Year 13 exams cover the full two-year course
- 1:1 sessions target weak topics without slowing the rest of the class
- Students in the GCC can sit AQA exams via approved UK-curriculum schools

What AQA Physics Students Say
Straight from students and parents who started mid-year and found their footing fast.
Book Your Free Trial“I was struggling with the Gravitational Fields topic in Paper 2 and my mock results showed it. My tutor broke the entire section down using past paper questions and I finally understood how to structure my 'show that' answers. The difference by my next mock was noticeable.”

Everything you want to know before you book.
Straight answers for parents and students considering AQA A Level Physics tutoring with Talimat.
Can we start mid-year in Year 13?
Yes. Tutors pick up from exactly where your child is in the AQA specification. The first session includes a diagnostic review of which topics from Sections 1 to 12 need immediate attention, and the plan builds from there.
How does Paper 3 Section A get covered?
Paper 3 Section A tests data analysis, uncertainty calculations, and knowledge of all 12 required practicals. Tutors dedicate specific sessions to practical method questions and graphical analysis so this paper does not cost unnecessary marks.
Which optional topic in Paper 3 Section B should my child choose?
The four options are Astrophysics, Medical Physics, Engineering Physics, and Electronics. Your tutor will help your child select based on their strongest conceptual understanding and the option that aligns with their university pathway.
What is the difference between AQA AS Level and A Level Physics?
AS Level Physics (7407) covers Sections 1 to 5 only, assessed in two papers. A Level Physics (7408) covers all twelve sections across three papers and includes the A* grade. The two qualifications are now co-taught but separately certificated.
How quickly can a tutor be matched?
Talimat matches tutors in under 10 minutes on average. You can confirm the match, review the tutor's background, and schedule a first session in the same day.
Are sessions available at weekends?
Yes. Talimat runs Monday to Saturday, Gulf Standard Time, so weekend sessions are available for students whose school week makes weekday evenings difficult.
How much does AQA A Level Physics tutoring cost?
AQA A Level tutoring starts from AED 65 per hour. There is no enrolment deposit and no hidden fees. You can cancel anytime.
Do you cover the mathematical skills required by AQA Physics?
Yes. AQA Physics requires specific mathematical skills including logarithms, trigonometry, and exponential functions. Tutors integrate these directly into Physics topic sessions rather than treating them as separate Maths lessons.
