AQA GCSE Physics 1f 2025 Question Paper Pdf

Get the official AQA GCSE Physics Paper 1 Foundation Tier question paper from the May 2025 exam series (8463/1F). This examiner-authentic PDF contains the complete Foundation Tier Physics Paper 1 in its original AQA exam layout, including thermal-conductivity investigations, radioactive decay graphs, pressure and particle-model questions, electrical calculations, specific heat capacity practicals, tidal-turbine analysis, efficiency calculations, and extended-response physics questions exactly as candidates received them in the live examination.

This 2025 Physics 1F paper assesses energy transfers, renewable and non-renewable energy resources, thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity, power and energy calculations, radioactive decay and half-life, atomic structure, gas pressure and particle motion, states of matter, electrical circuits, plug wiring, resistance calculations, efficiency, gravitational potential energy, elastic potential energy, tidal and wind turbines, density calculations, and LED current–potential difference characteristics across the AQA GCSE Physics specification. It includes graph interpretation, required-practical analysis, multi-step calculations, data plotting, six-mark method questions, and equation-sheet application exactly as tested in the live Foundation Tier examination. Pair it with the matching AQA 8463/1F mark scheme on markscheme.net for complete examiner-standard revision, self-marking, and timed mock-exam practice. Updated for the 2025/2026 academic year, optimised for mobile and desktop, and instantly downloadable from markscheme.net.

This document is designed for GCSE Physics Foundation Tier students preparing for the 2026 AQA examination series, including Year 11 candidates targeting grades 4–5, resit students improving previous GCSE Physics results, and home-educated learners following the AQA 8463 specification. It is especially valuable for practising Foundation Tier calculations, graph interpretation, required practical methods, equation-sheet application, and extended-response physics questions under authentic exam conditions.

It is also essential for physics teachers, science departments, private tutors, revision-course providers, and parents supporting GCSE revision at home. The paper can be used for classroom mocks, intervention sessions, retrieval-practice tasks, structured revision programmes, and examiner-style assessment using the official May 2025 mark scheme.
