About Glide

Cambridge IGCSE revision notes, free to read, structured the way the syllabus actually examines you.

Glide (glidenotes.org) publishes revision notes for Cambridge IGCSE subjects, alongside past papers and their mark schemes. Every topic is written from an approved Glide chapter and checked against the current Cambridge syllabus — not scraped from a summary site or taken on faith. Where a point is Extended-only, it is marked as Extended rather than blended into the core content.

How a topic is built

Each topic follows the same structure: a concept map, marginalia for definitions and examiner notes, step-numbered worked examples, exam advice with a model answer marked point by point, and a recall checklist for cover-and-test revision. Once you know how to read one Glide topic, you know how to read all of them.

Past papers

Notes tell you what to know; past papers show how it is asked. Glide has past papers with mark schemes for Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics and Business Studies, from 2021 to 2025. Filter by year, session and paper and open the PDF in one click, then mark your attempt against the official scheme. For Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics the papers listed are the Extended written papers.

The PDFs are under the Past papers tab.

What it costs

Every published topic, and every past paper listed, is free to read in full. There are no accounts, no card details, no ads, and no topic held back behind a payment. The optional PDF bundles — a whole subject as one print-ready file — are what support the work.
