For Biology and Chemistry,
Combine SCHOLAR notes with the BrightRed study guides and you will be sorted.
Some people recommend uni-level textbooks for AH topics but I don't. Unless you plan on doing biology or chemistry at uni, it will be a waste of money because you will only read about 20% of it - if that! Also, the level of detail can often exceed the AH content - whereas the BrightRed and SCHOLAR books are written specifically for the AH course.
If you're struggling with a particular topic and need more insight than what SCHOLAR or BrightRed offer... instead of consulting a uni-level textbook - i'd recommend watching youtube animations and videos. There are certain topics (especially cellular processes in unit 1) that are much easier learned when visualised.
Or of course you can just ask questions on here and someone can help you out!

- Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
- Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
- Man in the High Castle by Philip K ****

- The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood
- A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess
- To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
