Set up an H2 Physics paper

All four H2 Physics papers are marked question by question, so each uses a Structured paper type.

In the Paper type dropdown, choose the option that matches your paper. For the full steps, see Create an assignment.

Paper 1: Multiple choice (MCQ)​

  • Choose the Paper 1 option, marked (Structured).
  • Write the marks for each question in your answer scheme (your marking scheme). Many MCQ schemes leave this out, and ren. then has to guess.

Paper 2: Structured questions​

  • Choose the Paper 2 option, marked (Structured).
  • Show clearly where each mark is earned. For example, put [1] after each key word, statement or calculation step.
  • For diagram or graph questions, add a short note on what earns each mark. This makes ren.'s marks much more accurate.

Paper 3: Longer structured questions​

  • Choose the Paper 3 option, marked (Structured).
  • Show where each mark is earned, as for Paper 2.
  • Say clearly when a question allows error carried forward (ECF), for example "accept ECF from 7(a)". Or write "value from 7(a)" instead of the number itself.
  • State your rules for significant figures and rounding.

Paper 4: Practical​

  • Choose the Paper 4 option, marked (Structured).
  • For numerical answers, state the range of values you accept.

Mixed or other papers​

If your assignment mixes papers, or none of the options match, choose Custom.... Leave Mark this as one whole piece of work unticked, because Physics papers have no essay questions. See Choose a paper type.
