Best Revision World Alternative for IGCSE, IB and A Level 2026
Revision World is a long-standing UK revision site offering free notes and resources primarily for GCSE and A Level students. It covers a wide range of subjects in a straightforward text-based format. Many students in the UK use it as a starting point.
The limitation for international students: Revision World content is mapped to UK national qualifications — AQA, Edexcel UK, OCR and WJEC. It does not cover Cambridge IGCSE, Edexcel International, IB Diploma, IB MYP or Cambridge Lower Secondary.
Where Revision World falls short internationally
- Content is syllabus-referenced to UK boards, not Cambridge international syllabi
- Cambridge IGCSE (0610, 0620, 0625, 0580, 0455) not covered
- No IB Diploma Programme content
- No IB MYP content
- No Edexcel International IGCSE
- No Cambridge International A Level (9700, 9701, 9702, 9709)
- No interactive quizzes or past paper question bank
- No live tutor support
