9702 is Cambridge AS Level Physics. This page explains what the code covers, which papers it is examined by, and which topics carry the most marks — counted from 2,026 real past-paper questions set between 2019 and 2026.
9702 is the Cambridge syllabus code for AS Level Physics.
ExamYard publishes 2 question books for this syllabus, covering these papers:
Every topic in the 9702 banks, with how many questions and marks each has carried since 2019. The heaviest topics are where revision time pays back fastest.
| Topic | Questions | Marks |
|---|---|---|
| Physical Quantities and Units | 189 | 189 |
| Kinematics | 86 | 86 |
| Dynamics | 163 | 163 |
| Forces, Density and Pressure | 173 | 173 |
| Work, Energy and Power | 138 | 138 |
| Deformation of Solids | 104 | 104 |
| Waves | 204 | 204 |
| Superposition | 177 | 177 |
| Electricity | 123 | 123 |
| D.C. Circuits | 161 | 161 |
| Particle Physics | 111 | 111 |
Heaviest topic: Waves, 204 marks across 204 questions.
| Topic | Questions | Marks |
|---|---|---|
| Physical Quantities and Units | 38 | 168 |
| Kinematics | 33 | 184 |
| Dynamics | 47 | 365 |
| Forces, Density and Pressure | 38 | 241 |
| Work, Energy and Power | 33 | 230 |
| Deformation of Solids | 27 | 174 |
| Waves | 34 | 166 |
| Superposition | 41 | 271 |
| Electricity | 31 | 184 |
| D.C. Circuits | 35 | 292 |
| Particle Physics | 40 | 244 |
Heaviest topic: Dynamics, 365 marks across 47 questions.
Across every 9702 paper in these banks, the three heaviest topics are Dynamics (365 marks), D.C. Circuits (292 marks) and Superposition (271 marks). The first of those alone is about 9% of every mark on offer. The lightest is Kinematics at 86 marks.
That matters because revising by whole past paper spreads your time evenly over topics the examiner does not weight evenly. Working topic by topic lets you spend the most time where the most marks are, and it shows you the handful of question shapes each topic actually uses rather than meeting one of them every few weeks.
Past papers are easiest to use when the questions are already sorted by topic, so you can finish one topic before starting the next instead of meeting it once every few papers. ExamYard prints the real Cambridge questions for AS Level Physics 9702 arranged that way, with the mark scheme kept separate from the question. Chapter 1 of every book is free to read, with no account and no email address.

The questions in these banks come from papers set between 2019 and 2026. Nothing older is included, because Cambridge changes syllabuses and older questions can test content that is no longer examined.
