Cambridge 9702 · Open now · Founding rate closes 25 Sep

A Level Physics, taught through the year by someone who marked it.

Two live sessions every week on Cambridge A Level Physics 9702. One where I take a real exam question and mark it in front of you, and one open room where you bring your own. Both recorded and kept. For Year 12 and Year 13, all year, alongside school.

2 live sessions a week · recordings kept · 7 day free trial · cancel any time

I am Rich. I marked A Level Physics (9702) and IGCSE Physics (0625) for Cambridge, and I have read every examiner report Cambridge published for both from 2021 to 2026.

What happens every week

Examiner session

One real 9702 question, marked live. What earns the mark, what the mark scheme will not accept even when it means the same thing, and what the examiner report said about the students who lost it.

60 minutes
Drop-in

An open room. Bring the question you are stuck on and the working you have already done. Nothing is prepared, which is the point. Come for five minutes or stay for the whole thing.

45 minutes

Each session's question comes from AS one week and A2 the next. The marks it turns on are the same either way: the definition, the working, the units, the way an answer has to be written to score. That is why Year 12 and Year 13 sit in the same room. Technique does not have a year attached to it, and the other week's recording is always in the Classroom. Missing one costs you nothing but the chance to ask, and between sessions you post your working any day and I answer it myself.

What is in it today, stated plainly

Two courses, eight lessons, a calendar with the next four weeks on it, and a room. That is it, and it is deliberate. The archive grows by two recordings and one set of notes every week, so by half term the Classroom is the product. Today it is a promise plus eight lessons, and the founding rate is what it is because you are joining before the archive exists.

Start here

How the room works, what each free tool is for, what each 9702 paper punishes most, and the habit that costs marks on three of the five papers.

4 lessons
Uncertainties

Absolute against percentage, combining them, error bars and the worst acceptable line, and how to quote the final answer.

4 lessons, AS and A2 tagged
The archive, from week one

Every session recorded and in the Classroom within 24 hours, with the worked solution and the mark-by-mark breakdown written up beside it.

Two a week, all year

Why this rather than a tutor

A tutor is an hour a week you have to fill. This is a room that is always open, with a group in it going through the same year. One to one you only learn from your own confusion. Here you get everybody's, and the person answering has marked the paper you are sitting.

Who should not join

If you are sitting IGCSE 0625, this is not for you, and I would rather say so here than have you find out after paying. Post your questions in the free help desk instead. It stays free and it stays answered.

If you are already getting As, this is still for you, and it is the version of you I would most like in the room. A to A* is a technique gap, not a knowledge gap, and technique is the entire thing this room does. The person who should not join is the one who will not turn up and will not post their working. Reading somebody else's marked answer is worth something. It is not worth $39 a month.

$39 a month, held while you stay

From 26 Sep
$69 / month

For anyone joining after the founding window closes. Same room, same sessions, higher price.

  • Founding rate no longer available

Join before the 25th and you keep $39 for as long as you stay subscribed, including next year. That is Skool's own behaviour, not a promise I have to remember to keep. There is a 7 day free trial, so you can sit in a session and read the notes before you have paid anything.

Prices are in dollars because Skool is an American platform. Your card is charged in your own currency at your bank's rate.

Questions people have actually asked

Is this another platform I have to sign up to?

Yes, and I am not going to pretend otherwise. The room runs on Skool, so it is one more login. What you do not get is a second thing to install or a meeting link to hunt for: the sessions run as Skool calls straight from the calendar.

Why are the prices in dollars?

Because Skool is an American platform and it only prices in dollars. Your card is charged in your own currency at your bank's rate. I would rather it were pounds. It is not, and pretending otherwise would be silly.

How do I cancel?

In the group's Settings, under Membership. Without emailing me and without a retention conversation. There is a 7 day free trial before any of that applies. I would rather you left cleanly and came back in March than felt stuck, and a room people cannot leave is not a room worth being in.

Do I really keep the founding rate?

Yes. Skool grandfathers existing members on the price they are paying when the price changes. So joining before 25 September holds $39 a month for as long as you stay subscribed, not for three months.

I am sitting IGCSE 0625. Is this for me?

No. This room is Cambridge 9702 only. The free help desk is where to post IGCSE questions, and it is answered by the same person.

Will you predict what is coming up in the exam?

No. I am not currently contracted as a Cambridge examiner and I would not do it if I were. What I have is every examiner report Cambridge has published for this syllabus since 2021, and that turns out to be a great deal more useful than a guess.

The founding rate closes on Friday 25 September

Two live sessions a week until June, from someone who has marked the paper you are sitting.
