Why build your own A Level physics deck

Revision for A Level physics means remembering precise definitions, equations and the conditions under which each one applies, and a generic deck rarely matches your exact specification or the way your teacher worded things. If you want online A Level physics flashcards that follow your course, the faster route is to generate them from your own material. DeckOwl reads your PDFs, slides, typed notes and photos, then turns them into cards you can study in the browser.

Flashcards cover definitions, units, equations and key concepts from your own notes
Spaced repetition brings back the cards you struggle with more often
Quizzes with explanations help you check application, not just recall
Export to Anki or CSV on Plus if you prefer another study app

Example A Level physics flashcards

State Newton's second law of motion.The resultant force on an object equals its mass multiplied by its acceleration (F = ma), acting in the same direction.

What is the photoelectric effect?Electrons are emitted from a metal surface when light of sufficient frequency shines on it. Below the threshold frequency, no electrons are emitted however intense the light.

Write the photoelectric equation.hf = φ + ½mv²max, where h is Planck's constant, f the photon frequency and φ the work function of the metal.

What is the difference between scalar and vector quantities?Scalars have magnitude only, such as speed or mass. Vectors have both magnitude and direction, such as velocity or force.

What does the gradient of a displacement-time graph represent?Velocity, because gradient is the rate of change of displacement with respect to time.

Generate the full set

Built from your material

Upload PDFs, DOCX files, PowerPoint slides, typed notes or photos of pages. Text recognition reads the images, so handwritten-to-printed pages still become cards.

Spaced repetition

Each card is scheduled so that the ones you miss come back sooner and the ones you know come back later, which keeps definitions and equations fresh before exams.

Quizzes and mind maps

Turn the same material into multiple choice, true or false and short answer quizzes with explanations, or into a mind map of a topic such as waves or circular motion.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add the PDF of your course notes, a slide deck or a photo of a textbook page. No credit card is needed to start.

Generate your cards

DeckOwl creates question-and-answer flashcards from the content, which you can edit before you begin studying.

Study with spaced repetition

Review cards in the browser each day. Cards you find hard reappear more often until they stick.

Spaced repetition then schedules each card based on how well you recall it. Pair this with a short review after each lesson to check that terms like work done, specific heat capacity or the photoelectric equation are recalled accurately, not just recognized when you read them.

The free plan includes three generations per month and browser study. Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV are part of Plus, which costs $39 a year or $7.99 a month and gives unlimited generations.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for A Level physics?

Make one card per definition, equation or concept and keep each card to a single idea. Start with the topics you find hardest and add cards after each past paper.

Are flashcards or past paper questions better for A Level physics?

Flashcards suit quick recall of definitions, units and equations, while past paper questions test whether you can apply them. Use flashcards for short daily reviews and full problems once or twice a week.

Can I study DeckOwl flashcards on my phone?

Flashcards study in the browser on the free plan. Exporting to PDF, DOCX, Anki or CSV is included in Plus.

Do students get a discount?

Students get 40% off with a school email, and you can start without a credit card.
