how to revise physics for A levels?

i’m a physics a level student getting demolished by physics revision, and I am looking for some advice on how to effectively revise.

i’ve pretty much learnt most of the AQA syllabus, bar the optional subject and some of the last topics, however physics effectively stays the same across most exam boards.

i’ve tried making notes, grinding through past papers, watching youtube videos but none of it really resonated with me. as a visual learner, i have always struggled learning very topic-heavy subjects, but a levels are on another level to anything i’ve ever ventured into before.

i need an A, that’s for sure. would anyone who is sucseeding in physics please give me some advice? i would greatly appreciate it!! :smile:

Have you tried using Isaac physics? I really like it, especially questions from the workbook.
Here's a link to the workbook: https://isaacphysics.org/books/physics_skills_19?stage=a_level

Keep going! Physics is hard but I'm sure that you'll get there with practice!
