Ways to study

Learn the ideas

13 short lessons: units, vectors, journeys, speed and acceleration (L1–5), then drive the car and play the graphs (L6–9).

Start learning

Study guide & worksheets

Ms Ghaly's Major study guide (Parts 1 and 2), the real Minor 1 paper, the L3 worksheet and the three solved graph reviews — marked as you go.

Open worksheets

Skill drills

Endless fresh questions per skill — conversions, journeys, speed, acceleration and graphs. Feedback names the trap you fell into.

Start practising

Mock Major

60 minutes, Parts A/B/C over everything since September, marked with the −½ rules for unit, equation and direction.

The three big ideas

Shape describes the motion, slope gives the rate, area gives the displacement.

D–T: gradient = velocityv=Δd/Δtv = \Delta d / \Delta t. Flat line → at rest. Down-slope → moving in the negative direction.

V–T: gradient = accelerationa=Δv/Δta = \Delta v / \Delta t. Flat line → constant velocity (not rest!). Negative slope ≠ negative velocity.
