ESAT Physics : Five Full Mock Papers: 27 questions in 40 minutes, five times over, with a fully worked solution with named traps and shortcuts - Engine
Overview
Meet every trap here, not in the exam.
2027 edition: rebuilt to full exam difficulty after feedback from students who used the first edition.
Written for 2027 entry, including the January 2027 sitting.
Every paper is scored against the difficulty of the official specimen papers before it is printed.
This book gives you the mistake, not just the answer letter. Every wrong option in it was built to catch one specific error, and the worked solution names that error, so the questions you get wrong teach you more than the ones you get right.
Five complete ESAT Physics papers. 135 questions. A full worked solution for every one. Each paper is 27 questions in 40 minutes, matching the real module's format, with no calculator, because that is the test you are going to sit.
In Physics a figure you misread costs the same mark as a question you cannot do, so this book draws its own rather than describing them in words.
What is in every solution
- A route line before the working. One sentence telling you how to see the question before any algebra starts. All 135 questions have one.
- A named trap. Not "the answer is C" but the specific mistake that produces each wrong option. All 135 questions have one.
- A Faster note wherever a genuine shortcut exists. At roughly 89 seconds a question you cannot afford the long way round, so the shortcuts are written down rather than assumed.
What the papers are like
- No single-step questions. The real paper has none, so neither does this one: the questions that decide a score are the ones that fuse two ideas.
- Option counts vary from four to eight within the same paper, as the real test does, so elimination and guessing will not carry you.
- Indexed by specification heading. Every question is mapped to a published Physics content heading, P1 Electricity to P7 Radioactivity, and a table at the back shows which questions test which, so a paper that finds your weak area also tells you where to go next.
- Figures drawn for print, plus a photocopiable answer sheet.
New in this edition: the typesetting
The whole book has been reset. Fractions stack, roots carry a full bar and powers sit raised, the way they appear on screen in the test, so you practise reading the maths you will actually meet. The question on the front cover is a real question from this book, set exactly as the page sets it: it shows every speed and frequency set as maths rather than as text.
A short opening section covers how the test is scored, the recurring question species, how wrong answers are built, and how to triage forty minutes.
Who wrote it
Carl Morris has tutored admissions tests since 2008, holds an MChem from the University of Oxford, was Principal of a DfE-registered tutorial college in Oxford and is Vice President of The Tutors' Association. These papers were written for his own students before they were a book, and were sat in draft by Cambridge and Oxford students and offer holders.
Calibrated Practice covers the ESAT module by module. This is Physics; the rest of the series is Mathematics 1, Mathematics 2, Biology and Chemistry.
