A-Level Science

I’m taking A-levels after having done two years in something different. I’m doing the three sciences. Any advice in preparing, especially as someone who has been “away” from it for a while. I’m doing summer school, but want to make sure I have done everything I can before the year starts. Any websites, videos, anything to help me go into the first year.
Thank you

Im starting a level Biology and Physics in September and have been going through the CGP headstart guides for these subjects over the past few weeks. They have triple content and some new terms and concepts to set you up for a level. Maybe do some gcse past papers and see how your overall knowledge is doing and what you need to work on if you think that could help? Also search for a level transition work which is often put online by sixth forms and work through some of that if you’ve got time.
For general science gcse content revising stuff Cognito is the best and Bitesize is good for notes, if you want flashcards studysmarter and scienceshorts is a great YouTube channel for reviewing content :smile:

I do a-level biology and my advice would be to start revising early (using active recall) and make sure you go over any topics you don't understand. Also, make sure you do plenty of practise exam questions as with biology you need to make sure you know the content as well as the mark schemes.
