Flashcards for SQA Higher Physics, split into the course's areas and then by key area in the specification's order (version 4.1). Every relationship says whether it is on the relationships sheet or must be recalled. Values printed on the data sheet, such as physical constants, are left for you to look up, so the cards cover the ideas, relationships and methods you use them with.

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.
