Do you mean revision resources or something else?

Of the subjects you mentioned, I only do edexcel maths and I haven't personally used a lot of resources but I'd say https://www.physicsandmathstutor.com/ is useful for cheat sheets that cover each chapter in some detail with examples and for practice questions for consolidation or revision. Also, The GCSE Maths Tutor on youtube has several videos covering the subject and although I haven't used them for A-levels, I did use the videos for my GCSEs and found them useful. Good luck with your A-levels!

Hi, here are some useful maths resources:
. TL maths YouTube
. Maths Genie for questions
. MyMathsCloud

Also make sure you use your school-given textbook as it will likely match the order of teaching and has a lot of practice questions!

These resources helped me get an A*:


Of course, this was alongside doing loads of past papers as early as possible.

Edexcel business studies

Use save my exams paired with quizlet and chatgpt

Good quizlet notes:
For key terms use this guy, he’s made key terms for every bit of the specification:

https://quizlet.com/gb/869274552/11-meeting-customer-needs-key-terms-flash-cards/

He’s also made more comprehensive flash cards, which you can find on his profile, but they do not cover every bit of the specification e.g missed out market positioning in 1.1 meeting customer needs flashcard set.

Save my exams might seem like you need to pay for it but just go into incognito mode and it rests the page limit.

Chatgpt can elaborate on stuff and you can build a prompt that creates by far the best notes out there.

Also search up key terms theme 1, 2, 3 or 4, the first pdf is made by Pearson the exam board, I has all definitions just as they are wanted in the exam.

I’ve seen all YouTubers and every text book there is for edexcel business (I was despret), they are all bad and will not be good enough on their own, and at the very least they are much worst than the suggestions I’ve made.

The physics maths tutor website is gonna be ur best friend. They do past papers for all STEM subjects and Business and Economics, and they have revision notes.

I’ve just found a spectacular method of creating notes. Quizlet has this function where it can generate notes, just set out a document e.g. pros and cons of a mass market etc and it fills in the gaps with truly wonderful notes that are the best I’ve seen anywhere. Imagine how easy this already easy subject will be now
