What the Physics syllabus covers
The syllabus covers 42 topics in four sections: interaction of matter, space and time; energy, both mechanical and heat; waves; and a harmonised set of short-structured-question topics common to all WAEC member countries. WAEC examines Physics in three papers taken together — 50 multiple-choice questions, a written paper of short-structured and essay questions, and a practical paper.

Using the syllabus
The syllabus is the document your paper is set from. It lists the topics and subtopics you are expected to cover, and nothing in it is a prediction of the questions — there are no confirmed or leaked topics. Work through every topic and treat anything you cannot explain as the next thing to revise.
