How to build Edexcel IGCSE chemistry revision from your own notes

Most students sitting the Edexcel IGCSE chemistry papers already have a folder of notes, a textbook and a stack of lesson slides. The gap is usually not material but turning it into cards you can review in ten minutes a day. Ready-made sets online often cover a different syllabus or skip the practical details your teacher asks about, so a Edexcel IGCSE chemistry flashcards deck built from your own course material tends to be more useful.

Upload past paper mark scheme extracts alongside your notes so the cards use the exact terms examiners expect.
Create separate decks for each topic so spaced repetition can focus on the weakest areas.
Write your own answer to each card before flipping it, then mark whether you were right to set the review interval.
Use photos of whiteboard diagrams for reaction pathways and apparatus setups, then check that the labels were read correctly.

Example Edexcel IGCSE chemistry flashcards

What is the difference between an ionic and a covalent bond?Ionic bonds transfer electrons from a metal to a non-metal, forming oppositely charged ions. Covalent bonds share pairs of electrons between non-metal atoms.

What is the equation linking moles, mass and molar mass?Moles = mass ÷ molar mass, or n = m / M. Rearrange it to find the mass or the molar mass when the other two values are known.

What does relative atomic mass mean?The weighted mean mass of an element's atoms compared with one twelfth the mass of a carbon-12 atom. It is a unitless value shown on the periodic table.

What is an exothermic reaction?A reaction that transfers energy to the surroundings, so the temperature rises. The enthalpy change is negative.

What does Le Chatelier's principle state?If a system at equilibrium is disturbed by a change in concentration, pressure or temperature, it shifts to oppose that change.

Generate the full set

Built from your own material

Upload PDFs, PPTX slides, DOCX files, plain notes or photos of handwritten pages. Cards match the wording and topics in your course, not a generic list.

Spaced repetition

Cards you find hard return more often, and cards you know fade into longer intervals. Short daily sessions work better than one long cram before the exam.

Quizzes and mind maps too

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

How it works

Upload your chemistry material

Add your Edexcel IGCSE chemistry notes, past paper mark scheme extracts, textbook chapters or lesson slides as a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or image.

Generate and check your cards

DeckOwl creates flashcards in a few seconds. Remove any card that is off topic and edit the wording so it matches your teacher's terms.

Study on a schedule

Review in the browser with spaced repetition. Plus users can export to PDF, DOCX, Anki or CSV to study elsewhere.

Start with one topic at a time, such as atomic structure, bonding, the mole, or electrolysis. Upload the notes for that topic and check that each card asks for a single fact, equation or definition. Equations with units, state symbols and definitions of terms such as relative atomic mass are good candidates for cards because they are easy to test and easy to forget.

Use the quiz and mind map tools after you have reviewed the cards. A short quiz shows which command words, such as describe or explain, you are losing marks on, and a mind map shows how bonding, energy changes and rates of reaction connect across the course.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for Edexcel IGCSE chemistry?

Aim for one card per key term, equation or practical method in a topic, so a single unit might need 30 to 60 cards. Split large topics such as organic chemistry into smaller decks so each review session stays short.

Which chemistry topics are hardest to memorize for IGCSE?

Many students find balanced equations, mole calculations and the names of reaction types hardest to recall. Give each one its own card with a worked example on the back, and review them in short daily sessions rather than one long cram.

Can I export my chemistry flashcards to Anki?

Yes, Anki export is included with the Plus plan, along with PDF, DOCX and CSV export. The free plan lets you study flashcards in the browser, but exports are not included.

Does the free plan have a generation limit?

The free plan includes 3 generations per month and needs no credit card to start. Plus costs $99.90 per year or $9.99 per month for unlimited generations, and students with a school email get 40% off.
