Is AS Level preperation necessary?

So I am starting AS Levels in September: Biology, Chemistry, Maths and English Literature. I have had 2 months of chilling and fun so I am more than ready to start work. What would be the best way to prepare for these challenging subjects. I've read the novel we'll be studying in the first term and I've been practicing some maths but thats it. Also if anyone has any tips for ALevels then please let me know :smile:
I would say no. Just make sure you do plenty of revision once the AS exams come about.

I can't speak for literature, in terms of what books to read and what not.
Nope
regardless of the amount of work you do sixth form will kill u so chill
No enjoy your summer :smile:

The more you read about your subject the easier time you will have. It's a great advantage to have, specially if you're aiming for the really high grades.
