Workbook for As Sciences and maths

Poll

What year of A-level are you in?

I've just started a-levels but I can't find any good workbooks for any of the subjects I'm taking. If anyone knows any that has good questions in, or anything that has been really helpful in general, in please share.

The subjects I'm taking are:
OCR As Physics B (Advancing Physics)
OCR As Chemistry A
OCR As Biology
OCR As Mathematics

Thanks

I liked Alpha workbooks for maths. I did Edexcel but I just looked on the website and it appears they have OCR ones so I'll link you: http://alphaworkbooks.co.uk/online/index.php?route=product/category&path=61_77

Yeah I would recommend them, I liked the fact that they were concise yet they still seemed to cover pretty much everything. I also liked the feeling of filling in a book rather than just doing exercises from different places. They were a nice thing to do if I didn't feel like doing a whole past paper and there's also some useful explanation inside to help you if you get stuck on a particular question, which really came in handy. All in all, they're definitely not a necessity - you can just find questions and explanation on the internet - but if you can spare the money they're a lot more convenient.
