Course Overview

This is the public-access course syllabus for the IGCSE Physics 2026-2028 cohort with exam codes 0625 and 0972. You do not need a membership to access the lessons.
The video lessons have been arranged in order based on my recommended work scheme for students to prepare for the IGCSE Physics examinations.
There are also additional resources, such as a list of equations and definitions.
If you would like access to more resources such as notes, quizzes, worksheets, and more, you can sign up for the IGCSE Physics Complete Syllabus for Members.
Happy studying! All the best!
