AQA GCSE Physics resources
Free practice and teaching material for AQA GCSE Physics (8463), organised by tier and topic and published as downloadable PDFs with worked answers.
These are independent resources aligned to the AQA GCSE Physics (8463) specification and are not produced, approved, endorsed by or affiliated with AQA.

What can I download?
Both tiers are live, each with eight learning books and eight exam practice books, one of each per AQA topic. Start a topic with its learning book, then practise it with the exam practice book.
Foundation tier
The learning books teach the Foundation route from scratch in 108 lessons with 648 practice questions and answers. The exam practice books give eight modules per topic, with worked answers for every question.
Higher tier
The learning books teach the full Higher route in 111 lessons with 666 practice questions, including Higher-only content such as momentum, the generator effect and transformers. The exam practice books follow the same eight-module layout.
Independent and original
Everything here is independently written around the AQA 8463 content. Nothing reproduces AQA question papers, mark schemes or specification text, so these books sit alongside official past papers without overlap.
Free to download, no sign up and no email required, for personal and household educational use.

More is on the way. We are working day and night on carefully researched guides and resources built to genuinely move grades, and we have decided to share everything here free, so every student can use them and push for their best result, whether they study with us or not.
Need more than practice?
Free books do the practice. A tutor fixes the method
Five of our tutors teach Physics, led by a doctorate in Physics and two engineering degrees, and several teach Maths as well. Lessons are one to one on Zoom, £30 each, and the first 30 minutes are free with no card details.
