The whole syllabus on one page, in Cambridge’s own structure. Every topic links to its revision page, where it is explained, diagrammed and then tested with self-marked exam questions. 40 topics and 286 questions, all free.
Both pages list the same topics, in the same order. Here is the difference in one line each.
Check what you sit here, then go and learn it there.
Read this before you revise. The paper you are entered for decides which content is examined, so the wrong revision plan wastes weeks.
| Paper | Time | Marks | What it tests |
|---|---|---|---|
| Component 1 - Theory | 1 h 45 min | 70 marks | Structured questions and extended response questions testing AO1 and AO2. Some questions assess mathematical skills. |
| Component 2 - Coursework | assessed in school | 70 marks | Coursework in two physical activities of your choice, 35 marks each, internally assessed and externally moderated. Tests AO3. |
AO1 is recall and understanding. AO2 is applying it to a context. AO3 is practical and investigative skills. The mark schemes on every topic page tag each question AO1 or AO2 so you can see which one you are practising.
