Extended response questions in physics — typically worth 6 marks — require you to construct a sustained, logically structured answer that demonstrates both your physics knowledge and your ability to communicate it clearly. These questions are marked using a levels-based scheme, which means the overall quality of your answer determines your mark, not just the number of individual points you make.
Extended response questions use levels-based marking:
| Level | Marks | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | 5–6 | Comprehensive answer with correct terminology, logical structure, and detailed physics |
| 2 | 3–4 | Some relevant physics but incomplete, partially disorganised, or missing key detail |
| 1 | 1–2 | Basic points with limited detail, significant errors, or poor structure |
| 0 | 0 | No relevant physics content |
To reach Level 3, your answer must:
