Why generate your own AQA physics flashcards

Many students search for ready-made decks, but a generic set rarely matches your exam board's wording or the practicals your teacher covered. If you want something printable, the most useful version is one built from your own material: AQA A-Level physics flashcards made from your lecture slides, notes and past-paper mark schemes.

  • Upload past-paper extracts, slides or typed notes as the source material.
  • Cards cover definitions, equations, units and required practicals.
  • Spaced repetition brings back the cards you keep getting wrong.
  • Quizzes with explanations let you test yourself on the same topics.
Example AQA A-Level physics flashcards
What is the half-life of a radioactive isotope?The time taken for half the nuclei in a sample to decay, or for the activity to fall to half its initial value.
State Hooke's law.Force is proportional to extension, provided the limit of proportionality is not exceeded (F = kx).
What is the photoelectric effect?Electrons are emitted from a metal surface when light above the threshold frequency hits it, which shows light behaves as photons.
Define specific latent heat.The energy needed to change the state of 1 kg of a substance without a change in temperature.
What is the SI unit of electric current?The ampere (A), which is one coulomb of charge passing a point per second.

Works from your own material

Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages. Text recognition reads images, so handwritten-free textbook pages work too.

Spaced repetition built in

Cards you find hard come back sooner, so you spend revision time on the physics you are likely to forget.

Quizzes and mind maps too

Turn the same notes into multiple choice, true or false, and short answer questions with explanations, or into a mind map of a topic.

How it works

Upload your notes or slides

Add a PDF, slide deck or photo of a page from your AQA A-Level physics course.

Review the flashcards

Check the generated cards against your notes and edit any that do not match your teacher's wording.

Study with spaced repetition

Work through the deck in the browser each day and let the schedule bring back the cards you miss.

DeckOwl reads PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text and images, then creates flashcards for definitions, equations, units and required practicals. You can study in the browser on the free plan, which includes 3 generations per month, and export to Anki or CSV on the Plus plan.

Start with the topic you find hardest, such as circular motion or nuclear decay, and check each card against your notes before you rely on it.

Frequently asked questions

How should I make flashcards for AQA A-Level physics?

Write one card for each key definition, equation and required practical in a topic. Add a card for any idea you keep getting wrong, and keep the back of each card short enough to recall in a few seconds.

What should I include on a physics flashcard?

Put the term, equation or question on the front and the precise answer on the back, with units for any quantity. For equations, include what each symbol stands for so you can use it in a calculation.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan gives you 3 generations per month and lets you study in the browser, and you do not need a credit card to start. Exports are part of the paid Plus plan.

Can I export my flashcards to Anki?

Yes, on the Plus plan ($39/year or $7.99/month), which also includes PDF, DOCX and CSV export. Students get 40% off with a school email.
