Flashcards for Cambridge International AS & A Level Physics (9702), for exams in 2025, 2026 and 2027. Cards are split into an AS Level subdeck, covering topics 1 to 11, and an A Level subdeck, covering topics 12 to 25, in the syllabus's own numbered order. Equation cards say whether the equation appears on the data and formulae pages or must be recalled. Delete or suspend the A Level subdeck if you are only taking AS Level.

Adding it gives you your own copy, with every subdeck below. Each card then comes back just before you would forget it, and every one you get right or wrong counts towards your mastery of its topic. You can delete or suspend the parts you are not studying once it is yours.
