revise coordinate geometry and basic algebra... exponentials and logarithms will come up which may seem hard at first but its easy... ummm... and just basic differentiation and integration and basic vectors.. and also sequences and series and intro to proof.... go through this stuff and youll be fine for pure maths...

Mechanics is all about physics and stats has stuff from GCSE and some additional stuff...

practice many questions and never stop and think you know it all....

Dont look at answers and think that you wouldve done that...

Wow that's so nice of you. I would definitely like to use online textbooks. What are you studying at uni, if you don't mind me asking?

Thank you! Good luck to you aswell!
Keep a little notepad with you to jot down important formulas and proofs that could be asked in the exam. It really helped me for my exams coz I had the main little things in one small book.

Could I perhaps get a look at those online text books too? :smile: (of course it's very understandable if you say no - seeing as they are yours and I'm just someone random that you don't know!)

Also, what did you choose for A-levels, and what do you want to study in university?
