Physics Extra!

Physics Extra! presents all the Leaving Certificate Physics course material in a concise, understandable and student-focused book. It contains all the information you require, in sufficient detail, to be fully prepared for your examination.

It should be used throughout your two-year physics course to maximise your performance.

Physics Extra! is aimed at both Higher and Ordinary Level students, with the ‘Higher Level only’ material highlighted for easy distinction.
