What can I download?
You can download seven learning books per tier for Edexcel GCSE Physics topics 1 to 7, 14 PDFs in all. Each book has worked examples, practice questions and answers. Pick your tier, learn a topic, then practise on Pearson’s own past papers.
Foundation tier
The Foundation route taught from scratch in 61 lessons with 309 practice questions and worked answers, a topic assessment in every book, and the Higher-only statements left out.
Higher tier
The full Higher route in 78 lessons with 394 practice questions, including 17 lessons on Higher-only content such as momentum, circular motion, ultrasound, red-shift and reactor control.
Independent and original
Everything here is independently written around the Edexcel 1PH0 content. Nothing reproduces Pearson 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.

Each paper is 1 hour 45 minutes, 100 marks and 50% of the GCSE, with ten questions, and both papers are sat at the same tier. Eight core practicals run across the course, four of them in topics 1 to 7.
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.
