I can only speak for maths (tho tbf last year, summer mocks i got an e... was the as 2024 paper and 2023 grade boundaries)

Maths: Keep practicing imo. Jethwa maths, maths genie, A Level Maths Revision (all websites), TL maths (yt) and bicen maths (yt) are rlly helpful. Know where you are weak, and practice it.

IMO, for essay based subjects, read over textbooks and use Quizlet/Seneca to test yourself

Hey! I did OCR psychology and got an A*. I’d recommend taking a look at Seneca - they have revision sessions that really helped me in the month leading up to exams. I’d also recommend making mind-maps (colour coded if you can!) and doing some practice papers. Also take a look at short summary videos on YouTube - Adam Davolls makes FANTASTIC 2 minute summary videos that you can watch to jog your memory and learn the key points. Finally, you can never go wrong with flashcards! There are some great sets on Quizlet and Kahoot so I’d recommend taking a look if you can! Best wishes - if you have any particular questions just let me know :smile:

Having done A-Level maths this year and obtained an A, here's what I recommend:

Youtube:

BicenMaths -> He has a very useful google document which you can access from his youtube profile.
TLMaths

Websites:
Yorkshire maths tutor
PMT
A Level maths revision
Isaac Physics
Exam solutions

Revision:
from now on I'd start doing the bronze silver and gold papers on PMT everyday and marking them thoroughly. They're very short (especially the bronze). Use this to go through the topics you don't understand between each paper. If you have access to the textbook, when going through A2 topics in school, I'd recommend doing the later questions only, especially the problem and exam style questions which you should be doing all of. With a little research you'll be able to find Edexcel's topic tests online. Plan to do these in your own time when you finish an A2 topic to review what you do and don't know. Closer to exam season when you've finished all the content, start doing all of the practise papers (A,B,C...) , one a day and thoroughly mark them. Once you've finished the practise papers, do the mock set and shadow papers. I'd leave the official papers 1-2 months before exams, sitting them every 4-5 days.

So I actually ended up getting A*A*A in my A levels after doing pretty badly in year 12. The active recall guides from levouk helped me massively, I just use these to revise 4/5 topics everyday and then I did an exam paper every week. Also just submitting at least 1 exam question for my teacher to mark every 2 weeks too

is there anything else you used for ocr psychology because im currently on a B grade, which is my lowest in comparison to two A*s in my other subjects, and really want to get psychology to match that A/A* grade if possible? any help would be great
