Physics — frequently asked questions
Everything students and parents ask about revising Edexcel IGCSE Physics.
The fastest route is past-paper-first revision: practise exam-style questions by topic, mark every answer against the real Pearson Edexcel IGCSE mark scheme, then drill the topics where you lose marks. On MathsGradeUp you can do all of this for Physics in one place — topic practice, full past papers and instant examiner-grade feedback.
Pearson Edexcel IGCSE Physics is mapped to the official specification and covers 8 units, including Forces and motion, Electricity, Waves, Energy resources and energy transfer, Solids, liquids and gases, Magnetism and electromagnetism and more. Every unit is broken down into subtopics so you can target exactly what you need to revise.
Yes. You can open full Edexcel IGCSE Physics past papers, write directly on them with pen and maths tools, save your work, export a PDF, and submit for examiner-grade marking against the mark scheme.
Yes — our predicted papers for Physics are assembled from the topics that recur most in Pearson Edexcel IGCSE exams and the topics you have practised least. They are a revision aid built from the specification, not leaked content.
Each answer is checked against the real Pearson Edexcel IGCSE mark scheme, awarding method, accuracy and final-answer marks the way a real examiner would. You see exactly where marks were earned or dropped, with feedback you can act on.
Physics on the Pearson Edexcel IGCSE specification is aimed at Years 8–11. You can filter practice by year group and topic so the questions always match where you are in the course.
Yes. The Physics content follows the current Pearson Edexcel IGCSE specification, including all units and subtopics, so what you practise reflects what you will actually be examined on.
Yes — Physics practice, past papers and marking are free during our early launch period. Subscription plans may be introduced later, but launch users get full access now.
You do not just get an answer to copy. Physics marking guides you with hints, worked steps and mark-scheme-based feedback so you understand the method and pick up the marks yourself next time. Calculation-style questions are tagged so you can practise both structured and extended-response answers.
Yes. Parents and tutors can see completed Physics practice, accuracy, weak topics and overall exam readiness, making it easy to support revision and focus on the right areas.
Short, regular sessions beat occasional long ones. Aim for a few focused Physics sessions a week, always finishing by marking your work so each session ends with clear next steps. The progress dashboard shows what to revise next.
