A-level chemistry revision, taking notes and exam practise help and paper 3

Hey,
My name is Phedra and I am going to university in September to study Medicinal Chemistry
I've just finished my A-level and I wanted to char my knowledge in a lot of details about A-level chemistry. I recently posted a youtube video on my channel about how I revised A-level chemistry and my experience will a-level chemistry I also gave specific advice to year 12s and 13s in the video
here is the video

All my recommended resources for A level chemistry
Some of these models may be in the AQA version because I did AQA however all you have to do is search for the make in your own version

Hi Phedra

I am really sorry if I am disturbing you I am doing A level chemistry privately and OCR A I scared as I don’t have a teacher for chemistry is it possible to get an A* without a teacher if yes what are the most important things I should do in order to achieve it.

i would suggest trying uplearn trial chem ---they have OCR---it goes through entire spec of chem y12 and y13--u can do it all on ur own----no need for teacher and they have a lot of useful features....and if u like it u can buy it for the 2 yrs or 1 yr u need it for.....hope this helps
