Hi, I’m David. This database hosts comprehensive IB physics revision notes I’ve made for the post-2016 examinations syllabus. I got a 7 and here’s how you can too!
Please take note that although succinct notes are essential towards your revision, they should not be the only materials you cover – working through practice problems from your textbook and past papers are just as important!
For offline access, download this app and type in ibphysicsnotes.wordpress.com for the url.

Happy revising! 🙂

Hi, David. I used your site to review my exam, and it is very good. I actually take notes from your notes on this site, even. However, it seems like the version of the formula booklet you have here is outdated. As the Physics Exam is coming in a few days, I advise that you update it to this one >>> https://www.ibrepository.com/IB%20DOCUMENTS/Data%20%26%20Formula%20Booklets/Physics/Data%20Booklet%20-%20English.pdf, so that other students taking IB Physics this year like me can use the formula booklet that is the current version. Apart from that, loved your site, and your notes!

Hey ! Thanks for this app ..
I’m starring my first year soon and I’m planning to take Physics , Maths and GloPo as HLs and Visual Art , German and English L & L as SLs ..
Which of these classes you took ?
What tips would you give me as I’m about to start my IB ..
I would appreciate if you make similar apps for other subjects like Maths .
Thanks
