AQA by Specification Sub Point

This set of resources is a set of questions produced to reflect the specification points covered in AQA Physics 7408. Each booklet has a selection of example ideas and is produced by spec point so you can find what you wish to revise.

The best way to use them is to dip into each booklet and pick a few that look tricky! Don’t print the entire booklet but use a sheet of paper and split your screen on word so you can check your work.
