Starting a level content early any resources/books??

Hi, i wanted to get a head start learning a-level content and was wondering how i should start my school does ocr for bio and chem and edexcel for maths, was wondering if there were any specific resources that i should use, i was thinking of getting the cgp books for bio and chem are they useful? thankss

for maths get the official edexcel a level books AND the practice (they helped me so much) and use bicen maths if u need any help, for sciences idk much but i would search on yt for teachers first and see if you can learn the content that way (i didnt find cgp as helpful at a level)

cgp to bridge the gap between gcse and a level books for a lot of stem subjects

i've heard the cgp books aren't that useful for alevel do you think i should still get them? If so which ones for bio and chem ocr tyy

i personally don’t think cgp books are the best if you’re aiming for high grades, just because they don’t use the correct phrasing that’s sometimes required in the mark schemes. a level biology especially is quite specific in that sense

i got given one for chem and physics from my school (they were free), and I thought they were pretty useful for me especially for the end of summer holidays when you can't remember much about your gcses it i do think they helped to build on the gcse knowledge to get to a level. Idk if i'd pay like £10 for one but if you can get a cheap one might be worth it

it really depends on what type of study method you find most effective, i personally feel that textbooks are a waste of money - you can find youtube videos and online notes that explain things much more effectively and precisely and they’re free
biology:
- miss estruch on yt
- https://www.thesciencehive.co.uk/ocr-biology-a-level
- physics & maths tutor
chemistry:
- eliot rintoul
- allery chemistry (does amazing topic summary videos)
- easy mode exams
- physics & maths tutor
i find biology fairly easy to understand by just reading notes but chemistry is much easier to understand if you watch a video talking you through the topic, especially with organic chem
