call AQA or your exam board and find out

You can make a difference by doing independent study. There are lots of resources on the internet, including many free ones. Use them.

You should get a refund if the exams are cancelled. Don't think that way though - go for it. Good luck.

Tbf I have money so I can buy resources for self study but what resources do you recommend currently I watch YouTube tutorials and work out of my textbooks and for chemistry I have the new exam practice workbook

So you reckon I should continue studying no matter what?

I don't use any (did my 'A' levels over 30 years ago ..), but I'm sure that others can recommend ones for specific subjects.


YES! You have everything to gain - it will improve your percentile.

Hi i understand this whole coronavirus thing is causing distress for you and many others. It is likely that the summer 2020 exam series will be subject to delay although i do expect that the exams will go ahead and complete cancellations are very unlikely. In regards to your current situation with maths i do understand that it is difficult to grasp a concept without someone explaining it to you. My best advice would be to use the following:
Dr frost maths - This is a widely used website that has powerpoint lessons for the whole A-level maths syllabus and further maths with thorough explanations
A-level maths revision - Another website with video tutorials, handwritten notes and exam question walkthroughs
Examsolutions - The legend himself!!! Been around since the beginning all the way from old spec to the current spec
TlMaths - Another legend!!! Awesome video tutorials

I wish you best of luck with your exams
