St Paul's School — 16+ Physics Sample Paper 2025
St Paul's School published this 16+ Physics sample paper in 2025 to show the assessment style; it is official school material, not a past paper. Hearthprep makes it interactive — 9 questions worth 41 marks in a 45-minute timed mode, each marked on submission and backed by a step-by-step worked solution. It covers Energy and Forces & Motion.
Real 16+ Physics paper from St Paul's School (2025). 9 questions, 41 marks. Answer interactively with worked solutions. Covers Energy, Forces & Motion.
St Paul's School published this sample paper as preparation for its assessment. It is official school material, but not a paper candidates actually sat. Most 16+ entrance exams are sat between November and January of the year of entry, so a timed attempt at this paper is worth doing early enough to leave room for the topics it exposes. Work through it on screen with instant marking, or print the PDF and sit it under exam conditions.

- Question 1multiple choice · 2 marks
An object experiences a positive constant acceleration of 3 m/s^2. This means:
- Question 2multiple choice · 2 marks
The graph shows how the velocity varies for an object. After 3.0 seconds the distance travelled is: [Graph: velocity in m/s on the vertical axis (scale 0 to 25) against time in s on the horizontal axis (scale 0 to 4.0). The line rises as a straight line from 0 m/s at t = 0 to 20 m/s at t = 2.0 s, then runs horizontally at 20 m/s from t = 2.0 s to t = 4.0 s.]
- Question 3multiple choice · 2 marks
Which pair of graphs could be consistent for the motion of any object? [Table of four options labelled A to D. Each row shows a velocity-time graph and, beside it, the matching acceleration-time graph. A: velocity-time is a straight line of positive gradient starting at the origin; acceleration-time is also a straight line of positive gradient starting at the origin. B: velocity-time is a strai…

What is in the St Paul's School — 16+ Physics Sample Paper 2025?
9 questions with 41 marks in total; St Paul's School allowed 45 minutes for it. It covers Energy, Forces & Motion. St Paul's School published this sample paper as preparation for its assessment. It is official school material, but not a paper candidates actually sat.
How long is the St Paul's School 16+ Physics paper?
St Paul's School printed an allowance of 45 minutes on this paper. The paper carries 41 marks, roughly 66 seconds a mark.
Can my child answer this paper online?
Yes. Every question on this page can be answered in the browser and is marked the moment the paper is submitted — multiple choice, short answers and written responses alike. Answers are matched leniently, so a correct value written a different way (units, fractions, word numbers) still scores.
Are worked solutions included?
Every question has a step-by-step worked solution and an AI tutor that will talk through it after the paper is submitted. The first 3 questions of this paper are free to try; the remaining 6 and the marking come with a paid plan.
Is this a real past paper?
St Paul's School published this sample paper as preparation for its assessment. It is official school material, but not a paper candidates actually sat. Use it to time a full mock attempt, then drill whichever topics your child drops marks on.
