  • No ads or cookiesNothing competing for your attention, nothing following you around.

How it fits together

Every subject has three parts that follow the syllabus. Notes explain one topic in 15 to 30 minutes. Topicals collect every past exam question on that topic, with the mark scheme a tap away. Past papers let you sit a whole exam when you’re ready.

Where the papers come from

Pastopic only hosts official exam board files: question papers, mark schemes, inserts, examiner reports and grade thresholds. Each file is kept exactly as the board published it, with the board’s copyright notice inside. We never host files from other revision sites, or copies another site has stamped with its name.

Pastopic is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, Cambridge or any other exam board. If you hold the rights to a file here, see copyright and takedown.

How notes are written

There is one note per syllabus topic, written in our own words from the board’s official files: the current syllabus, mark schemes, examiner reports, specimen papers and the formula booklet. We never copy textbooks or other people’s notes.

Every worked example and quick check is a new question, and every numerical answer is checked by computing it. Real exam questions are only cited by their paper code and linked, never copied. Before a note is published, it is tested on five recent exam questions and checked against their mark schemes.

Your progress stays on this device

When you mark a question done, Pastopic remembers it in this browser only, along with the last page you were on, so Home can take you back. None of it is sent to us or anyone else, and it isn’t stored in a cookie. Another browser or device starts fresh. More in our privacy page.
