Advice for biology chemistry maths a levels?

I got a 8s in chemistry and maths and a 7 in biology and I'm doing them for a level. Does anyone have any advice or tips?
im not going to take those subjects but i suggest you do practice papers and flashcards either using quizlet or anki flashcards. you can also use physical flashcards.
well done on your gcse grades!!!

make sure you are on top of everything from the start, its a surprising jump from gcse to a-levels so be well prepared, try and do topic questions as you learn each topic and prepare notes/flashcards from early on.

Where do you find topic questions as such?

I haven't done Chemistry but I got an A in both biology and maths. For biology, I would recommend making flashcards ASAP after each lesson (I used anki cards as I found a pokemon addon to gamify my experience), and then do exam questions. Exam questions you found difficult/have memorisable answers (like processes and definitions from the mark scheme) can be written down/typed into a doc so you remember their answer and put this into the flashcards as well. For maths, do lots of exam questions. Also, make cheatsheets and mindmaps before tests to consolidate info the day before.

You can find lots of topic questions at Physics and Maths Tutor and if you run out, just ask your teacher for some!
If you need video help, I used Bicen Maths and MissEstruchBiology. They also have great summary videos.
