Physics revision planner.
Turn the weeks you have into a practical IGCSE, AS or A-Level Physics revision timetable. Choose your course, flag the topics that need work, and give every study session a clear purpose.
Start with the six-week example below, or adapt it to your time. Every 45-minute session combines recall, exam questions and corrections. Topic sessions link directly to free notes; mixed sessions include practical and data skills.
Make the plan fit your week
Your choices and completion ticks stay in this page only. Download or print before leaving. Changing the plan clears completion ticks.
One session. Three useful steps.
8 minutes · Recall
Close your notes. Write the key definitions, equations and units from memory, then check them.
27 minutes · Practise
Attempt questions for your own exam board. Show working, units and explanations before opening the mark scheme.
10 minutes · Correct
Mark your work. Record the reason for each error and redo one missed question without looking at the answer.

30 sessions · 22.5 hours · 21 of 21 available topic guides scheduled. 0 sessions completed.
Spread the sessions across different days. Use questions for your own exam board and check its syllabus for additional content: these guides are not a complete syllabus checklist. A 45-minute block is for selected questions; schedule full-length papers separately using the time on the paper.

How the planner chooses your sessions
Each available topic gets a first pass before repeats are added. Selected weaker topics come first. After that first pass, weaker topics receive double weight when repeat slots are allocated, with another topic between consecutive repeats whenever possible. With three or more sessions a week, the last session of each week mixes earlier topics and practical skills; with one or two, the final session of the plan does this.
Retrieving an answer before checking it can help long-term retention. This is supported by Roediger and Karpicke’s research on test-enhanced learning. The time split and topic weighting here are practical planning choices, not a scientifically proven optimum or a guarantee of a grade.
After each week, use your marked work to reassess weak topics. Check your teacher’s checklist and exam-board documents for topics or practical requirements beyond these notes. The planner does not predict exam questions or set exam dates.
Share it with a student or your class
Teachers, parents and school resource pages can link to this free planner. Students can print a plan or download a text copy without an account. For help working through your weak topics, Dr Desouky offers in-person Physics tutoring in Khalidiya, Abu Dhabi, and online lessons across the UAE and Gulf.
