What you can do is do similar questions (according to the syllabus) from the old syllabus AQA papers. The examiners might consider giving question similar to those. You can also practice questions from CIE, Edexcel and OCR to enhance your preparation level.

Hope this was helpful.  ;D  ;D  ;D

I think you have to do a little from all the AS and A2 units of both Physics A and B. I have attached a copy of the old specification. You can have a look at them and bookmark the similarities between the new and old ones.Then download/buy the specific past papers and practice them.

Hope this was helpful. Feel free to ask any question.  ;D  ;D  ;D

No changing syllabus is really important to bring new topics into the syllabus. Otherwise the syllabus would be outdated and wouldn't cope up with the modern society. Students can study a lot more than expected and this brings out a diverse learning environment.
