AS and A level Physics - Lists of data, formulae and relationships
This update is to notify teachers that we have revised the 'Lists of data, formulae and relationships' booklets for A level and AS Physics.
AS and A level Physics - Lists of data, formulae and relationships
The 'Lists of data, formulae and relationships' for AS and A level Physics were published when we first released our specifications. Revised versions were subsequently released in 2017 to correct some typos. These lists also appear at the back of the exam papers. Once exam papers started to be written, the lists of data, formulae and relationships were slightly adapted in the exam papers.
We have therefore revised the 'Lists of data, formulae and relationships' booklets on the website. This will ensure that these follow the format used in exam papers and make sure there are no discrepancies between the two lists.
If you have existing copies of the booklets, they can still be used. Note, only clean copies of booklets should be used in exams.

International Science Qualification News September 2026
Hello colleagues,
Welcome back to a new academic year! I hope those of you who are returning from a holiday have had some quality rest and relaxation, and that you are looking forward to working with your students in the year ahead. This update repeats some key information you may have missed from the past couple of months including links to key results support for those of you analysing results or supporting students who sat exams in May and June. There's also a reminder that we are looking for teachers to help us improve our IAL science courses, links to find the IAL Biology scientific articles for the October Unit 5 exam, and 'onboarding guides' for anyone new to teaching our IAL courses. You'll also find the usual key dates, upcoming training and FAQs below.
As ever, don't hesitate to get in touch if I can help in any way - why not book a Teams call with me (follow the link below) if it would be helpful to talk something over?
Best wishes,
