Physics & Chemistry Exam Prep 2026
Prepare for the physics & chemistry exam (coefficient 6, 3h30 paper) with AI-generated study sheets, quizzes & flashcards.
Physics & Chemistry exam format
The physics-chemistry exam has 3 independent exercises covering different parts of the curriculum. Each exercise combines problem-solving, document analysis, and scientific reasoning. One exercise may include an experimental protocol to analyze or design. Calculators are allowed. Writing must be rigorous: units, significant figures, diagrams, and literal formulas before numerical applications.
Physics & Chemistry program for 2026 exams
The physics-chemistry curriculum covers four major domains. Matter constitution and transformations: acid-base reactions, redox, chemical kinetics, thermodynamics. Motion and interactions: Newtonian mechanics, force fields, satellite motion, Kepler's laws. Energy: conversions and transfers, efficiency, photoelectric effect, nuclear reactions. Waves and signals: mechanical and electromagnetic waves, interference, diffraction, RC circuits.

Tips to succeed in the physics & chemistry exam
Always write the literal formula before the numerical application. That's where most points are. Check dimensional consistency.
Learn to analyze experimental protocols: identify measured parameters, fixed variables, error sources, and precautions.
Master unit conversions and powers of 10. Unit errors cost points in every exercise.
Create formula sheets by chapter with application conditions. Knowing when to use F=ma vs. the kinetic energy theorem is essential.
Practice with past papers under real conditions (3h30 with calculator). Time management across 3 exercises is crucial.
Common mistakes in physics & chemistry
Avoid these classic pitfalls to earn more points on exam day.
Forgetting units in results. Every physical quantity must include its unit. A result without a unit is considered incorrect.
Applying a formula without checking application conditions. For example, PV=nRT only applies to ideal gases. Always state your hypotheses.
Neglecting significant figures. A result with 8 decimals when data only has 2 shows a lack of scientific rigor.
Not drawing diagrams in mechanics problems. A diagram with forces and axes greatly facilitates problem-solving.
Frequently asked questions about the physics & chemistry exam
How to study physics-chemistry for the exam?
Redo course exercises and past papers without looking at solutions. Create formula sheets with application conditions. Practice rigorous writing (literal formula → numerical application → unit). Use Revizly to generate synthetic study sheets.
Are formulas provided in the physics exam?
Some complex formulas are provided in the problem statement, but fundamental formulas (Newton's laws, PV=nRT, E=mc², Ohm's law) must be memorized. Create flashcards to memorize them and review daily.
Are calculators allowed in the physics exam?
Yes, calculators are allowed but must be in exam mode (blinking light). Remember to activate exam mode the day before. Exercises are designed so the calculator helps with numerical calculations, but writing and scientific reasoning remain essential.
What is the physics-chemistry exam coefficient?
Physics-Chemistry has a coefficient of 6 as a specialty exam. It's high-stakes: well-prepared, it can earn significant points through methodological rigor and past paper practice.
How to manage time across 3 exercises?
First read all 3 exercises (10 min), then start with the one you know best. Allocate time proportionally to points. Keep 15 minutes for proofreading. If stuck, move to the next exercise: each is independent.
