A-Level Help (Yr 11 into Yr 12)

Hi Everyone!
So I'm a Year 11 going into Year 12 and I was wondering if anyone has any revision tips or materials that I could use during this quarantine. My subjects are:
Biology (AQA)
Chemistry (OCR Salters)
Film Studies (Eduqas)
History (AQA)*

*I would be doing this instead of Film Studies if I went somewhere else.
I just wanted to add, If anyone has experience of an EPQ. Can you explain it please?

Thank You!

I only did History out of these and my main advice is do as many essay plans as you can, as well as actually writing essays in exam conditions. It's a lot of content so I found making flashcards really helped make it a little more manageable (I think I had over 400 flashcards...). mindmaps and timelines are really helpful, and I'd also put post-its around my room with key dates and the events on them

For Chemistry and Biology, strengthen your GCSE knowledge as best as you can and look amazon head start to biology and head start to chemistry as it's free on kindle edition. For all, look at the specification and look at the exam structure. For History, look at some youtube videos of the topics you'll do and hopefully, you'll get a rough idea of the time period and topic or you watch some documentaries on those topics. What topics are you doing for History?
