About the A-Level H1 Physics Exam
H1 Physics is a Singapore-Cambridge GCE A-Level subject. Its revised syllabus kept the code 8867 and was first examined in 2026.
- Syllabus
- 8867, in its revised form from 2026
- Paper 1
- Multiple choice: 30 four-option questions in 1 hour, 30 marks (33%)
- Paper 2
- Structured questions, 2 hours, 80 marks (67%)
- Paper 2, Section A
- 60 marks of compulsory structured questions, including one or two data-based questions worth 15 to 20 marks
- Paper 2, Section B
- One 20-mark question from a choice of two, joining up different areas of the syllabus
- Skills tested
- About 45% of the marks for knowledge with understanding and 55% for handling, applying and evaluating information
There is no practical paper. The syllabus has four sections: foundations of physics, mechanics, electricity and magnetism, and modern physics, with data and formulae printed in both papers.
Common Challenges H1 Physics Students Face
Two Papers Carry Everything
Paper 2 alone is worth 67%, so steady, accurate working across its two hours matters a great deal.
Foundations Done Properly
Units, uncertainties, vectors and moments in the first section sit underneath every later topic.
Momentum and Collisions
Impulse from a force-time graph, and elastic and inelastic collisions between two bodies in one dimension.
Circular Motion and Orbits
Centripetal acceleration and Newton's law of gravitation come together in questions about circular orbits.
Forces on Charges and Currents
Uniform electric fields, magnetic flux density and the force on a moving charge, which questions can combine.
Nuclear Physics
Radioactive decay, conservation laws in nuclear processes, mass defect and binding energy.
How Our Online H1 Physics Tutors Help
Focused on Both Papers
Multiple-choice technique for Paper 1, and structured answers that show every step for Paper 2.
Choosing in Section B
Practice in picking between the two 20-mark questions and planning a complete answer against the clock.
Reading Unfamiliar Data
Making sense of new graphs and tables, then using them to explain and calculate, for the 15 to 20 marks they carry.
Precise Explanations
Short, exact reasons for why something happens, with the physical principle named each time.
Revision Around a Full Timetable
Lessons that fit around your child's other subjects, with topical practice first and timed papers later.
Secondary Physics Gaps Closed
Weak spots from Sec 3 and Sec 4, such as forces or circuits, fixed early so the H1 topics rest on firm ground.
H1 Physics Topics Covered by Our Tutors
The 11 topics of syllabus 8867 in its own words, grouped by its four sections, since it sets no JC1 and JC2 split.
Foundations of Physics
- Quantities and measurement
- Forces and moments
- Motion and forces
- Energy and fields
Mechanics
- Projectile motion
- Collisions
- Circular motion, including Newton's laws of gravitation and circular orbits
Electricity and Magnetism
- Currents
- Circuits
- Electromagnetism
Modern Physics
- Nuclear physics
H1 Compared With H2
H1 has no Waves or Thermal Physics sections, leaves out H2 topics such as oscillations, capacitance, electromagnetic induction and quantum physics, and has no practical paper.

Frequently Asked Questions About H1 Physics Tuition
Thinking of H1 Physics Tuition?
How Is H1 Physics Different From H2 Physics?
H1 Physics has 11 topics in four sections and two written papers, while H2 has 20 topics, adds the Waves and Thermal Physics sections, and has a practical paper. Students take one or the other, not both.
Does H1 Physics Have a Practical Exam?
No. H1 Physics is assessed only by Paper 1, multiple choice, and Paper 2, structured questions.
Did H1 Physics Change Recently?
Yes. SEAB revised the syllabus while keeping the code 8867, and the revised version was first examined in 2026.
When Should My Child Start H1 Physics Tuition?
In JC1 if forces or circuits from secondary school feel shaky, since the syllabus builds on them, or in JC2 ahead of the prelims and the A-Level.
Getting a Tutor
How Do I Request an H1 Physics Tutor?
Fill in the free form above with your child's JC level and preferred times. We aim to get back to you on WhatsApp within one working day.
Can One Tutor Cover H1 Physics and Maths?
Tick both subjects in your request, and we'll look for one tutor who teaches both where possible.
What Kind of Tutors Teach H1 Physics?
Undergraduates, part-time and full-time tutors, and current and former school teachers, screened for their qualifications, Physics results and teaching experience.
Lessons
How Do Online H1 Physics Lessons Work?
Live on Zoom, cameras on, with the tutor writing diagrams, derivations and worked answers on a shared screen or digital whiteboard.
How Long Are Lessons?
Usually 1.5 or 2 hours, once a week.
Can My Child Join a Small Group?
Yes. A small group has up to 4 students at the same level, all on the H1 syllabus.
What If My Child Misses a Lesson?
Message the tutor as early as you can, since you have a direct line. If it was a group lesson, ask the tutor for the class recording.
Others
How Much Does H1 Physics Tuition Cost?
Fees depend on the level and class size, and we confirm the fee on WhatsApp before the first lesson.
Do You Charge Agency Fees?
No.
How Do We Pay?
By PayNow.
How Much Notice Do We Give to Stop Lessons?
One month, so the tutor can plan around the change.
