Give yourself a complete break from studying for the rest of the holiday. It is nonsense revising a year in advance. You need to refresh and recharge your brain right now. Son did 4A levels and got into Oxford and did absolutely no work on school orders during summer holidays.

Depends on your subject. For computer science I got on with my coursework so I would finish earlier and for maths I went briefly through year 2 topics which really helped.

I'm focussing on work that has been set (e.g. EPQ dissertation, other essays and homework/reading) - once I've finished all of that, I basically plan to go over everything once. So, doing some essay plans and quotes/context for English literature, as well as some essay paragraphs/annotations of some chapters of harder texts; summary mind maps for every topic for history and reviewing flashcards for Classics (Classics is my best subject and the one I plan to do at uni, so a lot of the information is still in my head and I feel a lot more secure for it than other subjects.) I'm basically doing the same amount that I did between Year 10 and Year 11, which was reviewing stuff for content-dense subjects and ones I struggled with. I neglected my English Literature texts (except coursework ones) before Year 11 because it was my best subject and I still came out with a Grade 9!
