GCSE Physics Revision: Quiz Apps Plus the AQA Equation Sheet in Your Pocket
Physics is the GCSE science where knowing the content and being able to apply an equation are two separate skills, so a gcse physics equation sheet app is worth having alongside ordinary quiz revision, not instead of it. AQA's physics paper leans on 33 set equations, and knowing what each symbol means matters as much as memorising the formula itself.
Between two year-specific quiz apps and one dedicated equations app, physics revision splits neatly into 'do I know the topic' and 'can I use the maths', which is roughly how the exam tests you anyway.
Quiz Practice for Year 10 and Year 11 Physics
As with biology and chemistry, physics content changes enough between years that a single quiz bank covering both would either be too easy for Year 11 or too advanced for Year 10.
GCSE Physics Y10 covers 470+ exam-style MCQs across 8 topic quizzes and three full practice papers for Edexcel, AQA and iGCSE. It's free, and stays focused on the earlier physics topics — energy, forces, waves — that most schools teach first.
Physics Y11 expands to 750+ MCQs across 16 topic quizzes and three practice papers, again free and covering the same three specifications. The extra topic quizzes reflect how much more ground Year 11 physics covers, from electromagnetism through to space physics, ahead of finals.
A GCSE Physics Equation Sheet App for the Maths Side
Even students who understand a physics topic well can lose marks by misremembering an equation or mixing up a symbol, which is a different problem to solve than quiz revision.
Physics Eq puts all 33 AQA equations in one place, each with a plain-English meaning, symbol breakdown and worked example, plus swipeable flashcards and quizzes to drill them. It's free with ads, or a one-time £3.99 unlocks everything — a cheap way to stop losing marks to a misremembered formula rather than a misunderstood topic.
Full disclosure: I build these apps. Pairing year-specific quiz practice with a dedicated equation sheet covers both halves of what AQA physics actually asks of you.
Frequently asked questions
Is there an app with all the AQA GCSE Physics equations?
Yes — Physics Eq covers all 33 AQA equations with plain-English explanations, symbol breakdowns, worked examples and flashcards, free with ads or unlocked fully for a one-time £3.99.
What's the best physics revision app for Year 11 GCSE students?
Physics Y11 covers 750+ exam-style questions across 16 topics and three practice papers for Edexcel, AQA and iGCSE, which suits the heavier content load of the final GCSE year.
