A Levels pre study help

Now I am going to start A levels this September, I've already rested a lot, now i want to get on with my subjects and prepare for them, i am aiming atleast 3-4 chapter/topics in each subjects, is this practical ?, + how do i do this where do i get the resources for it ? how do i study and then where do i do practice questions and where do i get worksheet?

Subjects I am taking-
Maths - Edexcel
Further Maths - Edexcel
Computer Science - OCR
Physics - AQA
Hi Im in a similar position (starting Maths, Biology and Physics in September) and I’ve bought the CGP head start books for Bio and Physics to prepare. I already took FSMQ so that should have me prepped a little for Maths (there are videos to learn the FSMQ content which is on the a level and a step up from GCSE on Hodder Education’s website). There are worksheets on PMT I think but I plan to use most resources once I’ve started my a levels so I dont run low. Hope this helps a little, feel free to ask any more questions if you have them! Have a nice day :smile:

My advice is more Further maths focused but if you search fm videos there's a guy who has playlists on all examboards year 1 content :smile:)

I would recommend the below, all those resources helped me get an A* in those subjects (not computer science because I did Biology).

Hello. Unfortunately, I haven't come across any great free online resources for biology. I mainly relied on the official exam board books and worked through a lot of past exam papers. That really helped me the most. If you want a big bank of past papers try this: https://www.tutorpacks.com/biology-a-level-past-papers

They have past papers going back to 2010
