2026 Physics GCSE Predicted Papers

Paper Information

Predicted Papers Overview

Sharpen your exam technique with our free 2026 GCSE Physics predicted papers, with separate Higher Tier papers for AQA and Edexcel. Covering both Paper 1 and Paper 2, these expertly crafted papers replicate the style, structure, and difficulty of real exams to help students assess their knowledge and refine their problem-solving approach.

Using trends from past exams and an in-depth analysis of exam patterns, our predicted papers focus on topics that exam boards may focus on in this year’s GCSE physics exams. Whether used as a timed mock or for focused revision, they provide an effective way to reinforce key concepts and boost exam confidence.

These papers are predictions and should be used alongside revision of the full specification, as the actual exam content may vary. Our predicted papers are independently created and not affiliated with any exam board.

Best for:

  • Realistic exam-style practice tailored to your exam board
  • Identifying gaps in knowledge and improving exam technique
  • Building confidence ahead of final exams
  • Using as a timed mock

Are the GCSE Physics predicted papers exam-board specific?

We offer separate GCSE Physics predicted papers for AQA and Edexcel Higher Tier, with each set carefully written to reflect the structure, question types, and layout used by that specific exam board. Designed to mirror real exam papers, they provide exam-board-specific practice to help students prepare effectively and build confidence ahead of their exams.

Can I use the equation sheet when completing the GCSE Physics predicted papers?

Yes, our predicted papers are designed with the 2026 GCSE Physics exams in mind, where students will be provided with a full equation sheet. To get the most realistic exam practice, you should use the official equation sheet while working through our predicted papers. If you don’t have a copy, you can download the equation sheet from your exam board’s website.

Are there worked solutions for the GCSE Physics predicted papers?

We provide detailed mark schemes for each predicted paper, but full worked solutions are not included. However, if you need help understanding a specific question or want additional tailored support, you can book a one-to-one physics tuition session with an expert tutor.

Will using predicted papers improve my exam performance?

Yes, working through a GCSE Physics predicted paper is a great way to strengthen your understanding of key topics and identify areas that need further revision. These papers mirror the structure and wording of real exam questions, helping you become more familiar with the format and boosting your confidence ahead of exam day. However, predicted papers should be used as part of a well-rounded revision plan, alongside past papers and other study materials, to ensure full coverage of the specification.

Can I get more GCSE Physics revision resources?

Yes! Explore our free GCSE Physics revision resources, including summary notes, flashcards, and topic-specific questions, to help you prepare for your exams.
