How this paper was built
This is a TutorZone original drilling mock: the questions follow the Cambridge 0625 structure (Paper 2, 40 marks, 30%) and the answers are our own, not Cambridge past papers or marking references.
Every numeric answer was recomputed programmatically.
Pacing
| Section | Marks | Suggested time | What to do first |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paper 2 (Multiple Choice, Extended) | 30% | about 68 s per question | core + supplement content |
| Paper 4 (Theory, Extended) | 50% | about 9 min per question | calculation + explanation |
How is wave speed found?
Direct answer: v = f x lambda; 3 Hz and 8 m give 24 m/s.
Paper 2: concept drilling (6 demonstrated)
Write full formulas; explain the mechanism clearly.
Question 1 (7 marks)
An object speeds up from 0 to 20 m/s in 5 s. Find the acceleration.
Question 2 (7 marks)
A 4 kg object on Earth (g = 9.8 N/kg). Find its weight.
Question 3 (7 marks)
A wave has frequency 3 Hz and wavelength 8 m. Find its speed.
Question 4 (7 marks)
A 12 V supply drives a 4 ohm resistor. Find the current.
Question 5 (6 marks)
Explain the difference between conduction and convection.
Question 6 (6 marks)
Explain electromagnetic induction.
Conduction vs convection?
Direct answer: conduction works by particle vibration (mainly solids); convection by density differences in fluids.
Paper 2 answers
Question 1
a = dv / t = (20 – 0) / 5 = 4 m/s^2 (7).
Question 2
W = mg = 4 x 9.8 = 39.2 N (7).
Question 3
v = f x lambda = 3 x 8 = 24 m/s (7).
Question 4
I = V / R = 12 / 4 = 3 A (7).
Question 5
Conduction transfers heat by particle vibration, mainly in solids (3); convection works by density differences in fluids (3).
Question 6
A conductor moving relative to a magnetic field, or a changing field, induces an emf (6).
Which topics does this paper drill?
Direct answer: kinematics, forces and weight, waves, circuits, heat transfer and electromagnetic induction.
Where these marks are usually lost
| Mistake | What it looks like | What it costs | Instead |
|---|---|---|---|
| Acceleration unit | Writing m/s | Use m/s^2 | 4 m/s^2 |
| Weight as mass | W = 4 | W = mg = 39.2 N | 39.2 N |
| Resistance/voltage mixed | I = 12×4 | I = V/R | 3 A |
How to use this paper
First drill: the full 45 minutes at the 40-question pace (this mock demonstrates 6 core items).
Mark it: check formulas and units.
Second drill: redo three to seven days later, aiming for a faster finish.
What should I do after drilling this paper?
Direct answer: log answers with wrong units or formulas; redo in three to seven days; and drill Paper 4 theory.
FAQ
Is this a Cambridge past paper?

What is in IGCSE Physics Paper 2?
Multiple choice (Extended), 40 marks, 45 min, 30%, covering core and supplement content.

Next step: find a tutor / register as a tutor
After drilling, the hard part is telling a conceptual error from a writing error. Tell us the year group, the school and your available times, and TutorZone will match you with a tutor who knows the HKEAA assessment requirements.
Demand for tutors in this subject is steady, and those who can explain the marking scheme and where marks are won are especially sought after. Register free; you pay only when a match succeeds.
