DISCLAIMER: These courses are based on the Western Australian Curriculum but many of the course concepts and topics should apply to ATAR courses in other States and Territories.

This course is designed to cover the core concepts in the Physics Unit 3 & 4 syllabus and aims to prepare students for what may appear in the WACE Physics examination. The videos in this course cover essential skills, broader concepts as well as higher order questions from a wide range of sources including past exams questions and new questions for you to try. Guided examples and examination questions will show you how to approach different types of questions in an examination setting. Each video comes with a booklet containing worked examples, questions to work through with the presenter as well as questions where you pause the video, attempt the question under timed condition and then continue the video to see how you went. The end of each booklet also contains a 15 – 20 mark quiz containing Section Two examination type questions for you to attempt in your own time. It is estimated that this course provides you with around 30 hours’ worth of resources that you can attempt in your own time and at your leisure. Access this course to give you the best chance of extending your understanding of the Unit 3 & 4 WACE Physics syllabus; how they are assessed and how to demonstrate your understanding in examinations for a better result in your WACE Physics examination.
