Questions students ask
Is Fahmazing free for IGCSE Physics?
Yes. Every Physics lesson, visual, worked example and practice question is free. Pro adds AI coaching, marking of written answers and unlimited full papers.
Does it cover Core and Extended 0625?
Yes. Choose your tier and the app hides Extended-only (Supplement) content if you sit Core.
Are the questions real past-paper questions?
No. We write our own questions in the style and shape of the Cambridge papers, so you can practise every way a question can be asked. Use official past papers as well for the final weeks.
