International GCSE Physics and Science Double Award Equation List for November 2023 exam series
This update is a notice to centres concerning the Equation List for Pearson Edexcel International GCSE Physics 4PH1 and International GCSE Science Double Award 4SD0 for the November 2023 exam series.
Equation List for International GCSE Physics and Science Double Award
We can confirm the following:
The International GCSE (9-1) Physics and International GCSE (9-1) Science Double Award Physics Equation List will be retained in the November 2023 examination series for components 4PH1/1P and 4PH1/2P and 4SD0/1P.
This means that students will have access to an Equation List in the exam room showing all relevant equations. The Equation List will be available as an additional insert inside the exam paper, and it will be the same as the one provided to students in the Summer 2023 examination series.
The Equation List may also be downloaded from the qualification pages and shared with students so they can familiarise themselves with it ahead of the exams. Centres will need to download the Summer 2023 version for this purpose - only the date on the front cover will change to reflect the November 2023 exam series.
You can access the equation list from the 2023 support sections of the qualification pages.

As in Summer 2023, the Equation List will be divided into two parts. The first list provides the equations that may be required for International GCSE Physics (4PH1) and International GCSE Science Double Award (4SD0) papers. The second list has additional equations that may be required for International GCSE Physics Paper 2 (4PH1/2P).
If you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to get in touch. You can contact us through our customer support portal.

Hello colleagues,
Welcome to your May update for teachers of International Science qualifications! This update has news of a new free lab setup materials resource for International GCSE sciences, a reminder of support for centres affected by the conflict in the Middle East, and guidance on using examiner reports for final exam preparation. It also repeats information on the scientific article for IAL Biology.
