Work through a whole AQA GCSE Physics topic one short step at a time. Each step has the key ideas, a diagram and five quick checks, and the next step unlocks when you get them right. The last step is a 6-mark exam question with a mark scheme. Your progress is saved on your device, so you can stop and come back.
✏️ Before you start
Have paper and a pen ready
Clicking through on screen is not enough. You remember far more when you write things down yourself. For every step:
- Make notes on the key ideas in your own words.
- Copy and label the diagram.
- Work out each quick check on paper before you pick an answer, especially calculations.
- Write the final exam question answer in full, then mark it yourself with the mark scheme.
Keep your notes for each topic together. They become your revision notes for the exam.
