Head start on A-level Maths

I've just finished my gcses and im going to do maths for Alevel, i really want to get a head start on maths because i know alevels is gonna be ten times harder than gcse and if i start learning content earlier i'll have a more stress free alevel. So if anyone knows any tips or how to get started in learning content i would love the advice !
There are loads of resources online you can use, and the time you have now before going into A level is a great time to prepare. You could firstly look at the A level maths specifications so you at least have some knowledge of what you will be learning.

AQA: https://filestore.aqa.org.uk/resources/mathematics/specifications/AQA-7357-SP-2017.PDF

You could spend some money on A level books, but if you search around enough you someone has probably uploaded it online anyway.
