0625 is Cambridge IGCSE Physics. This page explains what the code covers, which papers it is examined by, and which topics carry the most marks — counted from 3,557 real past-paper questions set between 2019 and 2026.
0625 is the Cambridge syllabus code for IGCSE Physics.
ExamYard publishes a question book for this syllabus, covering the following:
Every topic in the 0625 banks, with how many questions and marks each has carried since 2019. The heaviest topics are where revision time pays back fastest.
| Topic | Questions | Marks |
|---|---|---|
| Physical Quantities and Measurement Techniques | 91 | 35 |
| Motion | 217 | 307 |
| Mass and Weight | 120 | 8 |
| Density | 97 | 54 |
| Forces | 224 | 257 |
| Momentum | 76 | 126 |
| Energy, Work and Power | 224 | 243 |
| Pressure | 119 | 93 |
| Kinetic Particle Model of Matter | 212 | 225 |
| Thermal Properties and Temperature | 122 | 164 |
| Transfer of Thermal Energy | 120 | 142 |
| General Properties of Waves | 151 | 158 |
| Light | 243 | 337 |
| Electromagnetic Spectrum | 64 | 56 |
| Sound | 142 | 99 |
| Simple Phenomena of Magnetism | 122 | 89 |
| Electrical Quantities | 191 | 223 |
| Electric Circuits | 246 | 297 |
| Electrical Safety | 89 | 31 |
| Electromagnetic Effects | 240 | 248 |
| The Nuclear Model of the Atom | 116 | 127 |
| Radioactivity | 212 | 268 |
| The Earth and the Solar System | 56 | 127 |
| Stars and the Universe | 63 | 116 |
Heaviest topic: Light, 337 marks across 243 questions.
Across every 0625 paper in these banks, the three heaviest topics are Light (337 marks), Motion (307 marks) and Electric Circuits (297 marks). The first of those alone is about 9% of every mark on offer. The lightest is Mass and Weight at 8 marks.
That matters because revising by whole past paper spreads your time evenly over topics the examiner does not weight evenly. Working topic by topic lets you spend the most time where the most marks are, and it shows you the handful of question shapes each topic actually uses rather than meeting one of them every few weeks.
Past papers are easiest to use when the questions are already sorted by topic, so you can finish one topic before starting the next instead of meeting it once every few papers. ExamYard prints the real Cambridge questions for IGCSE Physics 0625 arranged that way, with the mark scheme kept separate from the question. Chapter 1 of every book is free to read, with no account and no email address.

The questions in these banks come from papers set between 2019 and 2026. Nothing older is included, because Cambridge changes syllabuses and older questions can test content that is no longer examined.
