IGCSE revision videos, one sub-topic at a time.

Short explainers that follow the Cambridge syllabus sub-topic by sub-topic, for IGCSE Accounting, IGCSE Economics, IGCSE Mathematics, IGCSE Biology, IGCSE Chemistry and IGCSE Physics, plus A Level Physics. Each has captions and a transcript, and leads straight on to practice.

How they work

Watch the idea, then use it straight away.

  • One sub-topic per video

    Each video is a single sub-topic, with the same number and title as in the syllabus, so you can find exactly the bit you need.

  • Captions and a transcript

    Turn subtitles on or off. The transcript runs underneath the player, and clicking a line jumps the video to that moment.

  • Ask about the bit you're stuck on

    Pause and ask about the moment you're at, or tap “Explain the last bit”. The AI tutor knows which video you're on and how far in you are.

  • Picks up where you stopped

    Leave halfway and the video starts from the same place next time on that device. Watched ones are ticked off.

  • Only your subjects, only your level

    You see the subjects on your profile. Topics outside your level are hidden, so an AS student doesn't get A Level videos.

  • A next step, not a dead end

    After a video, practise past-paper questions on the same topic, get quizzed on it, or rate the chapter in your planner.

Every video so far.

Only what your level covers

The videos page shows the subjects on your profile, and within each only the topics your level covers. AS students don't see A Level topics, so nothing on the page is outside your course. The A Level Physics videos so far are all A2 topics, so they appear for A Level students only.

After each video

  • Practise past-paper questions on the same topic.
  • Let Interactive Learn quiz you on the key points.
  • Rate the chapter in your planner, so it knows how you feel about it.
  • Or go straight to the next sub-topic in the syllabus.

Revision video questions

Which IGCSE subjects have revision videos?

Accounting (0452), Economics (0455), Mathematics (0580), Biology (0610), Chemistry (0620) and Physics (0625). Each has a video for every sub-topic in the syllabus. More subjects are on the way.

How long are the videos?

Between about 4 and 20 minutes. Each one covers a single sub-topic, so you can fit one into a short revision session.

Do the videos follow the Cambridge syllabus?

Yes. There is one video per syllabus sub-topic, in syllabus order, with the same numbers and titles as the syllabus, so you always know where a video fits.

Are there AS and A Level videos?

Yes, for Physics (9702), topics 14 to 17. These are A Level (A2) topics, so they show up for A Level students and are hidden for AS students.

Do the videos have subtitles?

Yes. Every video has English captions you can turn on or off, and a transcript under the player. Click any line of the transcript to jump to that point.

Are the videos free?

Making an account is free. Concept videos are in early access: you can watch your first video free, and after that you can ask to join the early-access group.

Can I ask a question about a video?

Yes. Ask from under the player and the AI tutor answers knowing which video you're watching and where you are in it. After the video you can also practise past-paper questions on the same topic.

Stuck on a topic? Watch it first.

Make an account with your email or Google, pick your subjects, and your first video is free.
