IGCSE Physics (0625): Study Plan and Paper Strategy (Singapore)

Study guideUpdated 14 Oct 2026

Singapore-focused Cambridge IGCSE Physics (0625) study plan with syllabus mapping, past-paper workflow, and a downloadable checklist.

Use this as a weekly plan for 0625, so revision stays consistent from week to week.

Last reviewed: 18 July 2026 against the official Cambridge IGCSE Physics 0625 syllabus for 2026 to 2028.

Five parallel Motion, Forces and Energy areas: physical quantities and measurement, motion, mass and weight, density, and effects and turning effects; these panels are not successive steps.

The core idea is simple: Physics 0625 needs concept, equation, graph, and practical-data practice together.

Use it as a working check: Each week, pair one syllabus block with timed questions and one practical-data task.

Then go one layer deeper: Do not revise equations as isolated formulas. Link each one to units, assumptions, graph shapes, and measurement uncertainty.
