suggestions for online learning materials?

Hii I'm almost done with my igcses and I want to start preparing for the IB this summer so I can be ahead when school starts. I'm going to be taking HL Chemistry, History and English Lang Lit, and SL Maths AA, Philosophy and Chinese.

Aside from savemyexams can anyone recommend any relevant and useful learning materials?

Thank you!!

Hi, here are some that I've liked using
Revision Village
Nail IB ( has some useful articles on how to write your IA's etc.)
IB predict can come in handy during DP1, it helps calculate your IB score based on your MOCK exams or the past papers that you've written

Would you say revision village is useful for Chemistry and Maths? I've heard overwhelmingly good things about Maths but not sure about chem

Maths there is indeed really good. I'm sorry,i can't say anything about chemistry, since it wasn't a subject I studied. I only know that they added it in like November 2023, so it's supposed to be ok for the new syllabus

I've used revisionvillage for both maths and chem;
whereas savemyexams has notes/lessons and questions, rv is more question-oriented. If you haven't 'learned' the content yet first, diving headfirst into questions may not be very useful.
https://www.youtube.com/@MSJChem This youtube channel has videos covering the new syllabus & is organised very well, so I recommend watching these first/reading notes on savemyexams before doing questions on revisionvillage.
