J259/03 covers content from all eight teaching chapters of the syllabus. These chapters are: Radiation & waves; Sustainable energy; Electric circuits; Explaining motion; Radioactive materials; Matter – models and explanations; Ideas about science; Practical skills.
Like the other papers in this course, J259/03 uses a written exam format — there is no separate practical exam. Practical skills are assessed through written questions.
