Why build your own deck

Ready-made lists of IGCSE physics flashcards can cover the broad syllabus, but they rarely match the wording your teacher uses or the topics your class has covered. Starting from your own material fixes that: upload the notes, slides or past paper PDFs you already have and get cards that reflect them.

  • Equations with their units and symbols, such as v = u + at
  • Definitions for terms like density, pressure and resultant force
  • Labeled diagrams for circuits, waves and forces
  • Practical method questions covering what to measure and why
Example IGCSE physics flashcards
What is the SI unit of electric current?The ampere (amp, A).
What equation links density, mass and volume?Density = mass ÷ volume, written as ρ = m/V.
What is the difference between scalar and vector quantities?A scalar has magnitude only, such as speed. A vector has magnitude and direction, such as velocity.
State the law of reflection.The angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection, and the incident ray, normal and reflected ray lie in the same plane.
What does the gradient of a distance-time graph represent?Speed.

Built from your material

Upload PDFs, PowerPoint slides, Word files, plain notes or photos of textbook pages, and get cards that match what your class actually covered.

Spaced repetition

Cards you find hard come back more often, so formulas, units and definitions move into long-term memory before the exam.

Quizzes and mind maps too

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

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or photo of a page from your IGCSE physics course.

Review the cards

Check the generated flashcards, edit any wording, and remove anything outside your specification.

Study on a schedule

Work through the deck in the browser, and let spaced repetition bring back the cards you miss.

Good revision also means testing recall over time rather than rereading. Spacing reviews so harder cards return more often helps equations, units and definitions stay in memory until the exam.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for IGCSE physics?

Keep each card to a single fact and cover every topic in your specification rather than aiming for a fixed total. Add more cards wherever you keep getting answers wrong.

Which IGCSE physics topics are hardest to memorize?

Many students find circuit rules and the difference between scalar and vector quantities tricky, because those ideas need applying, not just recalling. Flashcards work best for definitions and formulas, so pair them with worked problems.

Can I export my physics flashcards?

Export to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV is part of the Plus plan, which costs $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan includes three generations a month and studying in the browser, without exports.

Do I need a credit card to try DeckOwl?

No, you can start on the free plan without entering a credit card. Students with a school email also get 40% off.
