Homeschool a-level inquiries

Hii, i'm starting homeschool for year 12 this year and I have some questions. (I'm picking the subjects English-literature, History, Chemistry)

So anyone taking English literature please can you tell me how the exams are set up (like what are the questions like etc) and tell me for each text (i'm not saying specific text I mean for example what do u need to study out of the prose, poems, stories etc, what does the exam want from them?)

for history can someone tell me what are the exam questions like

for chemistry can someone tell me any rescources or websites I can use? I really liked cognito for GCSE but they don't cover a-level content

You can find this on the exam board websites. Have you chosen the board?

For Chemistry how are you planning to do the required practicals?

All past exams papers are on the exam boards website usually, very well documented for AQA, edexcel as far as i can tell. on Tilf website you can practice essays for english and history for all exam boards but they don't show you the mark scheme or the past papers, you need to get that from the exam board sites.
