Youve got to make flashcards, you can use anki which has a website online where you can download decks. I personally used a friends flashcards to revise but if you dont have anki make an account and download an A Level deck from their website

I got an A in AQA alevel psychology. I could have got an A star if i actually went over everything but i got too tired and stopped.The flashcards have all the information you would need for an A or an A star. You can also create your notes from it.Some people might think that there is too much information on each flashcard and might split it up.I used a mix of resources including my teachers slides, booklets, websites and youtube videos.Enjoy.It is an anki deck.Paper 3 topics were: forensics, schizophrenia, gender and issues and debate.https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1528567830

For Biology, do as much past papers as you can!!! It really helps a lot. I remember the some past paper questions that I did , did come up in the paper but just in diff form. You can watch Miss Estruch videos if you don't understand the topics, she explains them very well! Good luck!

I do Biology and Chemistry, and I'd say past papers are the most helpful for both, for different reasons.
For chem, past papers are great to practice as it is similar to GCSEs where you just do enough and "memorize" the mark schemes and you'll be able to pick up on most of the knowledge (of course, it's still important to visit your notes throughout) especially for the physical/mathematics side.
For bio, I'd say it's more important to focus on the quality of the past papers rather than the quantity. My teachers' advice was to do one question at a time, look at the mark scheme and really reflect on why you lost marks and then make a note of why on the next question to keep in mind. It's also harder to pick up the knowledge just by doing past papers so I think you'd have to do flashcards and/or notes as well.
