Physics anyway for revision it depends on what grade you want to achieve

B: reading information in a detailed way

A : writing that information and to increase your confidence and make you more familiar with answering question

A*: going back to your notes


Hope this helps

I do A2 Maths, Physics, Computing and History. Maths is probably the easiest once you get the hang of the concepts.
