About Examva

Clear science revision, made with care

Examva helps students revise Biology, Chemistry and Physics for AQA GCSE, Cambridge IGCSE and AP with illustrated notes, quick self-testing and printable topic PDFs. Here’s who it’s for, what you get and how we check it.

Who it’s for

Examva is for students revising the sciences, and for the parents helping them:

  • AQA GCSE Biology, Chemistry and Physics, for Combined Science or the Separate Sciences, at Foundation or Higher tier;
  • Cambridge IGCSE Biology (0610), Chemistry (0620) and Physics (0625), at Core or Extended;
  • AP Biology, AP Chemistry and AP Physics 1, organized by the College Board course units.

You choose your course and level once. Everything you see is then filtered to match, so you don’t spend time on content that isn’t on your exams.

What you get

  • Clear, illustrated notes. Every topic in your course, written in plain language with diagrams and easy to read on a phone, iPad or laptop. For GCSE that’s up to 243 pages (24 topics for Combined Science, 25 for Separate Sciences).
  • Test Me. Quick recall questions matched to your course and level. Questions you’ve practised come back when they’re due, so you revise what you’re about to forget. Longer questions ask you to explain an idea in your own words and show you the mark points a full answer needs.
  • Flashcards (GCSE). A deck for each topic, some with diagrams, for quick daily review.
  • Printable topic PDFs. High-resolution booklets for paper or iPad, filtered to your course and level.
  • Your own notes. Bookmarks, page notes and saved reading progress.

Free to start, one payment for Pro

Every course starts with one complete topic in each science that you can use free, with no card needed. For GCSE those are Cell Biology (Biology), Atomic Structure & the Periodic Table (Chemistry) and Energy (Physics).

Pro opens every topic, page and printable PDF in all three sciences of your course. GCSE Pro is £29.99 for 12 months; IGCSE and AP Pro is $49.99 for 12 months. Each is one payment. It isn’t a subscription and doesn’t renew automatically. If it’s not right for you, you can ask for a full refund within 14 days of purchase, with no reason needed. Payments are handled by Paddle. See pricing and our refund policy for the details.

How we make and check the content

Every topic starts from the official specification or course framework: AQA for GCSE, Cambridge for IGCSE and the College Board for AP. We map it to the knowledge, equations, practicals and level limits students can be assessed on. Then we write original Examva notes and questions. Nothing is copied from past papers or mark schemes.

Before a topic is published, we review:

  • scientific facts, terminology, equations and units;
  • course and level boundaries, such as Foundation and Higher or Core and Extended;
  • practical methods, variables, safety and conclusions;
  • worked calculations and how clearly each idea is explained;
  • every diagram’s labels, arrows and details, for accuracy and legibility.

Test Me questions and flashcards are checked against our notes and the specification, so every answer is something the notes actually teach.

Corrections and updates

Each published topic is tied to a reviewed release, so when a specification, calculation, diagram or explanation needs a real correction we can update it deliberately. If something looks wrong or unclear, email hello@examva.com with the page address and what you’d like us to check.
