FAQ

Questions, answered.

Everything you might want to know about the worksheet library, past papers, the ready-made books and the Pack Builder - whether you teach, tutor, help at home, or are revising for yourself.

What is Revision Library?+
A free site for revision from KS1 to A Level, plus 11+ and 13+ entrance practice: a worksheet library of printable packs with mark schemes, past papers by subject and exam board, a topic-by-topic revision guide for every subject, a shelf of ready-made practice books, and a workspace with tools such as the Pack Builder and Insights. Nothing needs an account - open a page and use it.
Who is it for?+
Teachers, tutors, parents helping at the kitchen table, and students revising by themselves. The worksheets, past papers and Pack Builder are the same tool for all of them - there's no separate mode to pick.
What's in the worksheet library?+
2,899 original worksheet packs, free to read online or print, each with its own mark scheme - about 18,057 pages of questions between them. Every subject in the workspace has packs there. Browse them at the worksheet library.
How many worksheets are there, exactly?+
2,899 packs, holding 52,035 questions worth 163,755 marks, across 27,623 printable pages and 39 subject groups. Those figures are counted from the published catalogue itself, not estimated, and every page that quotes one reads it from the same place - so you can check them against the library and they will agree. One pack is one worksheet, and one question is one numbered question as it is set, with its parts counted once.
Which subjects are covered?+
22 subjects: Mathematics, Further Maths, GCSE Statistics, English, Science, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, 11+, 13+, Computer Science, History, Geography, Religious Studies, Sociology, Business, Physical Education, Psychology, Economics, Politics, French and Spanish. Levels run from KS1 to A Level, with 11+ and 13+ entrance practice alongside.
What are the topic guides?+
2,301 free revision guides across 32 subjects, from KS1 to A Level, one per topic: a plain-English definition, the method step by step, a worked example, practice questions, and exam-style questions with their own mark scheme, plus a link to the matching worksheet. Start at the topic guides hub.
What are the ready-made books?+
451 complete practice books, assembled from the same worksheet packs and covering several topics each: pick one, download the PDF, print it. A book is capped at 90 pages and comes with a cover, a contents page, a chapter opener per topic and every mark scheme grouped at the back - the shape of thing that normally arrives shrink-wrapped with a price on it. Here there is no basket, no checkout and no card. See the book shelf.
What is the Pack Builder?+
The custom alternative to the ready-made books: you choose exactly which topics go in, name who it's for, and it stitches a tidy PDF with a cover, contents page and page numbers. Anyone can use it - tutor, teacher, parent or student.
How long does a pack take to make?+
About two minutes from an empty page to a printable PDF. The slow part is deciding which topics to include - not the tool.
Why the 110-page limit?+
It keeps a pack to a sensible booklet size for printing and binding. The built-in budget meter warns you as you approach it, so packs stay practical. The ready-made books on the shelf stop at 90 pages instead - their chapters are fixed, so they are kept a little slimmer.
Can I reorder or remove topics after adding them?+
Yes - the contents panel supports drag-to-reorder and one-click removal, and the cover and page numbers update to match.
What are past papers?+
Real papers from the exam boards, organised by subject and board inside each subject's workspace, with a mark scheme for every paper and an examiner's report where the board has published one. Coverage runs GCSE and A Level, with IGCSE and AS papers for some subjects too. Maths goes further: past-paper questions are cropped and tagged by topic, so you can pull together every question a board has asked on one topic.
What is Insights?+
A table of how often each topic has actually come up in real past exam series, board by board, so revision time goes toward what tends to be examined instead of a guess. It's one of the workspace tools, live in 16 subject workspaces; where it isn't, the menu gives the reason rather than hiding it.
What else is in the workspace?+
A growing set of study tools alongside Topics, Past papers and the Pack Builder: Flashcards (swipe-to-grade study cards that resurface whatever you get wrong until it sticks), Diagnostics (a short quiz that finds your weak topics and can build a targeted pack from them in one click), and Revision Formats (warm-ups, revision grids and checklist booklets). All three are live in 22 subject workspaces, covering KS1 to A Level between them - where a tool isn't built for a subject yet, the menu says so rather than hiding it.
How much does it cost?+
Nothing. Every plan is free, with the full library, past papers and unlimited PDF packs. There's no card to enter. See pricing.
Can I reuse or share the material?+
Yes - print it, photocopy it, share it and republish it freely. The one condition is attribution: credit Revision Library with a link to revisionlibrary.co.uk wherever you use it. Full terms are on the copyright & terms page.
Do you store student data?+
The name you type is used only to build the pack you're generating - it's printed onto the PDF and not stored afterwards. There's no account to create, and the packs are yours to keep.
Do I need to give my email to download?+
Yes, once every 14 days in each browser. The first time you open or download a worksheet we ask for an email address; type it in and carry straight on. That opens every worksheet on the site in that browser for the next 14 days, whatever network you are on. After 14 days, or in a different browser, the next download asks once more. Nothing to confirm, no account, no password, and it's still completely free.

Still curious? Just try it.

The fastest way to see what's here is to open the library or build a pack - both are free, and neither needs an account.
