Which site should I use?

Best Free GCSE Revision Websites

For most students, the best all-round free starting point is BBC Bitesize, because it covers almost every GCSE subject in one place, with guides, video and quizzes, and needs no account. For printable practice with a full mark scheme attached, Revision Library's own [[/library|library]] is the strongest free option. Corbettmaths, Maths Genie and Seneca are close free alternatives worth combining with either, depending on whether a student wants daily practice, worksheets paired with video, or a gamified course format.

This comparison is published by Revision Library, and Revision Library appears on the list below.

The full comparison

BBC Bitesize

Best for free topic-by-topic video lessons

BBC Bitesize is the BBC's free revision service, covering GCSE-level subjects in England and the equivalent qualifications in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, with revision guides, video, audio and quizzes across a very broad subject range.

Bitesize mixes text, video and quizzes across a very broad subject range, which makes it the natural first stop for a student who has not yet decided which subjects need the most attention.

Revision Library

Best for free printable practice with mark schemes

Revision Library covers every GCSE subject the library publishes as a printable pack, and every pack ends with a full, itemised mark scheme rather than just final answers. Maths, science, English and a wide range of humanities and languages are all covered from one place, with no account needed to download anything.

Where Revision Library differs from a site like BBC Bitesize is depth of printable practice rather than breadth of teaching: the topic guides work through a definition and a worked example before the practice questions, and the Pack Builder can stitch any combination of topics into one PDF for a student who wants a longer, mixed-topic sheet.

For a whole subject or a whole tier at once, the free book shelf does the same job as choosing topics one at a time, which suits a parent who would rather hand over one ready-made download than build a pack themselves.

Seneca Learning

Best for free AI-marked practice questions

Seneca Learning is a free-to-use revision platform for GCSE and A Level, with interactive courses, an AI-marked question bank and an AI study companion; a paid Premium upgrade adds further features.

Seneca is useful when a student wants free, interactive courses across several GCSE subjects, with gamified lessons and a large AI-marked question bank across many exam specifications. Signing up appears to be needed to start a course, and no Premium price could be confirmed.

Corbettmaths

Best for free daily worksheet practice

Corbettmaths is a free maths site built around short video lessons, the well-known '5-a-day' daily practice questions, and topic worksheets and exam-style questions for Primary, GCSE, A Level and Further Maths. The core site needs no account; a separate shop sells physical revision cards and books.

The '5-a-day' format gives a short, repeatable set of maths questions across topics, which works well as a regular warm-up rather than a single large revision session.

Maths Genie

Best for exam-style question sheets by topic

Maths Genie is a GCSE and A Level maths site with past papers, topic worksheets, video lessons and revision guides across several exam boards. A free account adds features like progress tracking, but the core teaching and practice material can be browsed without one.

Maths Genie's past-paper archive and topic worksheets are sorted by exam board, which suits a student revising toward a specific paper.

Physics and Maths Tutor (PMT)

Best for revision guides alongside practice papers

Physics and Maths Tutor (PMT) is a free resource site with revision notes, worksheets and past-paper questions sorted by topic and exam board, across maths, the sciences and several other GCSE/A Level subjects. It also sells separate paid tutoring, crash courses and printed workbooks alongside the free material.

PMT pairs revision notes with past-paper questions sorted by topic and board across maths, the sciences and several other subjects, and none of the core material needs an account.

How to choose

If subject coverage is the priority and a student has not yet narrowed down where the gaps are, start broad with Revision Library or BBC Bitesize, then move to a subject-specific site once the weak topics are clear.

For a printable sheet with a full mark scheme rather than an on-screen quiz, Revision Library's worksheets and Corbettmaths or Maths Genie's worksheets all do that at no cost.

Cognito and Quizlet are also worth knowing about: Cognito is a free, video-led platform covering GCSE, A Level and other qualifications, and Quizlet is a general flashcard tool many students use to build their own revision sets, though neither is GCSE-specific in the way a dedicated worksheet site is.

Whichever combination is used, printing the mark scheme alongside the questions - as every Revision Library pack does - lets a student mark their own work immediately rather than waiting for the next lesson.

Frequently asked questions

Which are free with no account?+
BBC Bitesize, Corbettmaths, Maths Genie's core material, and PMT's downloads all need no account. Revision Library's packs also need no account to download, though a download after the third one asks for an email address.
Is Bitesize enough on its own?+
For broad teaching and an introduction to every topic, yes for most students. For printed practice with a full mark scheme to work through afterwards, pairing it with Revision Library or a worksheet-focused site like Corbettmaths covers the gap.
Are any of these aligned to my exam board?+
Maths Genie and PMT sort their past-paper material by exam board. Revision Library's GCSE Maths packs are written to exam-style conventions rather than tied to one board, so they suit any of AQA, Edexcel or OCR.
Do I need to pay for anything on this list?+
No - every site named here has a genuinely free core product. Seneca and BBC Bitesize both stay free without a subscription; a separate paid tier exists on some competing sites not listed here, such as Save My Exams, which the free alternative page covers in more depth.
