GCSE Chemistry revision

GCSE Chemistry revision for Year 10 and Year 11, matched to 5 official specifications from AQA, CCEA, Edexcel, OCR and WJEC. AQA GCSE Chemistry (8462) covers Atomic structure and the periodic table (spec 4.1), Bonding, structure and the properties of matter (spec 4.2), Quantitative chemistry (spec 4.3), Chemical changes (spec 4.4), Energy changes (spec 4.5), The rate and extent of chemical change (spec 4.6), Organic chemistry (spec 4.7), Chemical analysis (spec 4.8) and 2 more topics. Work through a topic in short interactive activities, then take a real past paper to see what stuck.

One thing the Chemistry questions here are written to catch: Limestone is not a source of hydrogen here.

Common questions

Is this page for Year 10 and Year 11?

Yes. It is built for Year 10 and Year 11 students revising GCSE Chemistry, and every topic on it is taken from the exam board's published specification rather than a generic syllabus.

Will it help with GCSE mocks?

Yes. This page lists 68 topics and 98 interactive modules, so you can revise the exact topic a mock covers, then sit a real past paper to check it under timed conditions.

Does it match AQA, CCEA, Edexcel, OCR and WJEC?

Yes. This page covers AQA, CCEA, Edexcel, OCR and WJEC, and each specification is listed separately with its own code, so you can pick the one your class follows.

Is it free to start?

Yes. There is no charge for any revision module here. You only need a free account to keep your progress and streaks, and past papers can be downloaded without signing up at all.
