Questions and answers
The things students ask most about SUVAT. If your question isn't here, send feedback or email fmprevision@gmail.com.
Getting started
Why is the site called SUVAT?
s, u, v, a and t are the five quantities in the constant acceleration equations: displacement, initial velocity, final velocity, acceleration and time. Every Maths, Further Maths and Physics student meets them, which is why the name covers all three subjects. Until November 2026 the site was called FMPR. Only the name has changed: your account, your saved work and your links all still work.
Which courses does SUVAT cover?
A level Further Maths, Maths and Physics, for AQA, OCR and Pearson Edexcel: nine specifications in all. For OCR these are Mathematics A (H240), Further Mathematics A (H245) and Physics A (H556). SUVAT does not cover OCR MEI, OCR Physics B, WJEC or Cambridge International. See every topic.
How do I find out which exam board I'm on?
It's printed on your exam timetable and your exam entry. If you're not sure, ask your teacher. You can change it at any time in My course.
What do Y12, Y13 and Y12–13 mean?
Y12 content is also in the AS specification and is usually taught in Year 12. Y13 content is in the full A level only. Y12–13 marks a topic with parts in both years. Choose your year in My course and SUVAT shows the right content first.

Lessons, questions and the Journal
How do the lessons work?
Each lesson covers one sub-topic. It sets out what you will learn, shows where the result comes from, works through an example, then gives you a question to try. After five seconds the answer is worked out for you, and the lesson ends with a summary. New words are explained on screen. Go to Lessons.
Are the practice questions from real exams?
No. They are written by SUVAT in the style of the real papers, with a worked solution and the marks each step earns. If you are stuck, each question has hints to try before you open the solution. For past papers, go to AQA or Pearson Edexcel.
What are the worksheets?
Printable PDFs for almost every sub-topic, with space to write your working and the answers at the back, plus a test for most topics. Go to Worksheets.
What is the Journal?
The Journal lists the lessons you have watched, so you can carry on where you stopped. It also lets you rate every sub-topic as Not yet, Developing, Secure or Strong, and shows an average for each topic, so you can see where to focus.
The Challenge and profiles
How does the Challenge work?
Each topic has a new set of exam-style questions every Monday, each mixing two or more sub-topics. Tries at a question you have not solved start again each week, and a question you solved stays solved. Type your final answer: a right answer scores 10 points at the first try, then 8, 6, 4, and 2 from the fifth try on. A shown worked solution scores nothing. Your points put you on the leaderboards, for all subjects or one, either exam board, all time or this week. Go to the Challenge.
What can other students see on my profile?
Your username, picture, banner, badges, bio and pronouns, and how many friends, followers and following you have. Your first name, your course, your Challenge positions and your lists of friends and followers stay hidden until you switch them on in Edit profile. Your email is never shown.
How do I report a profile?
Open the profile, choose the ⋯ button, then Report profile. The SUVAT team looks at every report, and the student is not told who reported them. You can follow your report in Settings, under Your tickets.
