Six-mark questions are the highest-tariff questions on the Edexcel GCSE Physics (1PH0) papers. They require a structured, detailed response and are marked differently from other questions. This lesson teaches you exactly how to approach them.
Unlike other questions where each mark corresponds to a specific point, 6-mark questions use levels-based marking. Your answer is assessed holistically and placed into one of three levels:
| Level | Marks | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Level 3 | 5–6 | A comprehensive, logically structured answer with correct scientific terminology. Covers all key points. Clear and coherent. |
| Level 2 | 3–4 | A reasonable answer that covers most key points. May lack some detail or structure. Mostly correct science. |
| Level 1 | 1–2 | A basic answer with limited relevant points. May contain errors. Poorly structured or incomplete. |
| No level | 0 | No relevant content. |
