Course Overview

This is the course syllabus for the IGCSE Physics 2026-2028 cohort with exam codes 0625 and 0972.

This course is designed for teachers. It contains slides for teaching, worksheets which can be used in class to scaffold understanding, as well as suggested past year questions that are suitable for practice.

The slides provided are the same slides as shown in the video lesson.

However, some of the slides may be different because the slides were updated after the release of the video.
