The A* Checklist

Six strategies from Cambridge examiner reports — with checkboxes and a 6-week revision plan. Print it. Work through it.

What’s inside
  • Mark scheme language — before/after examples of answers that score vs. answers that don’t
  • 120 definitions at a glance — the highest-frequency items and exactly how Cambridge phrases them
  • Command word reference — State / Describe / Explain / Calculate / Determine decoded in one table
  • Paper 5 mark checklist — every Q1 and Q2 mark category as a checkbox, colour-coded by question type
  • Graph rules — best-fit line, axes, gradient calculation, what examiners penalise
  • 6-week revision plan — week-by-week sequence from definitions to past papers

Free printable revision resources for Cambridge Physics

Everything on this page is a printable one-page reference, built from Cambridge examiner reports rather than from textbook summaries. The A* checklist above is the IGCSE Physics 0625 starting point: mark-scheme language with before-and-after examples, the highest-frequency definitions, a command-word table, the Paper 5 mark categories as checkboxes, the graph rules, and a six-week revision plan. Print it, work through it, and tick items off as they become automatic.

The three MCQ survival sheets listed above cover the multiple-choice papers specifically — one each for 0625 Paper 1 (Core), 0625 Paper 2 (Extended) and 9702 Paper 1 — and each one lists the errors those examiner reports flag most often. They are designed to be read in the ten minutes before a practice paper, not studied.

If you would rather practise than print, the interactive trainers cover the same ground: the MCQ trainer for timed multiple-choice practice on both syllabuses, 0625 examiner tips and the Paper 6 alternative-to-practical guide for IGCSE, and the Paper 5 planning and analysis guide with its uncertainties trainer for A Level. Everything is free. The blog has the longer-form versions.
