Thread is now complete-ish. Comment if a link is broken and I'll fix it asap.
Hello I am ForgottenApple, I recently finish A Levels with some reasonable results (A*A*A* Maths, Physics & Chemistry). This thread is to help you achieve something similar at the same level. I created these resources for myself last year and have brought them up into a good enough order to help other people out. This thread is a successor to a previous thread I made last year for G481 an incorperates all but the practical element of the OCR Physics A Level course (to be revised in 2015) but nonetheless there is a full year of students who can benefit from these resources and any students who opt to resit thereafter.
Most notes I wrote last year, as well as the standard answers being made by me (idea from my college), definitions lists, legacy resources/past papers/bonus questions tend to be lifted :P

If you want to take a break and still be doing something useful, this BBC documentary "The Beginning and End of the Universe" is really interesting and funnily enough ~80% of it is in the A level spec too haha:
Thanks for the post, this will really help! I was wondering though how exactly do you study for physics? Do you re-write notes constantly/do pastpapers?

The only notes I'd consider writing for physics are the definitions. Past papers from OCR, other exam boards, legacy papers, questions in the textbooks and revision guides are your best bet to getting a good grade. If you're unsure about a topic I'd read over it then attempt a question on it and look at example answers.

Quality advice, though I feel there is benefit to writing an initial set of notes.
