can you guys give me your honest review of a level physics, maths or Econ and give me some tips and resources which could help me with them. Much love guys ❤️❤️

Don't do physics unless you have a death wish.
In all honesty, physics everyone will tell you it is unfairly hard. If you are ready for it then please do physics. I loved learning about it and depending on if your teacher is good or not you may enjoy it too. Its a mind blowing subject and its really interesting and combining maths and physics together is a great idea because they have some subject that intertwine a bit like mechanics or capacitors and logarithmic graphs. My teacher used a microwave and chocolate bars to teach use about standing waves and we ended up having a chocolate party. Nah really its great. EXCEPT when you reach the exam period. I don't know what the exam boards have been smoking the past few years but there as been a lot of complains going towards Aqa, their exams were very difficult and in fact its was so hard that they lowered the grade boundaries to a point where if you get around 60% of the paper thats an A*...
Now maths, no comments. It is wat it is, don't get fooled by how easy it is in class.
Sorry for the long paragraph.
Hope that helps 😭

I do maths and I would just say like make sure you can understand most of the basic algebra bits and then you can do most pure maths topics. Also only do it if you get it and enjoy it otherwise its probably hell.
Resources wise physics and maths tutor is helpful, also there is a website called revisegcsemaths (its not only gcse) and its for the wjec exam board but topics are usually similar so it might be helpful once you understand the topics to give you some practice questions that are a bit different. Just using your exam boards website could be helpful too, i am on wjec and they have exam walkthroughs and summary sheets which are soo good for revision so just have a look at the webiste and see what you can find.
Good luck !

this is making me laugh
i totallt agree though - the content in physics is amazing, and i find it super interesting!
the exams however...
the questions are so niche and the marks schemes are so picky so make sure you familiarise yourself with that honesly

What do you mean by picky? Is it like GCSE science or A level biology where you need to memorize key terms word for word?

yeahhh so the mark schemes are incredibly fussy, for both the long ans questions and the maths ones. so for the maths, you have to have every single step down quite specifically to gain full marks, even if your answer is correct. for the long ans/explain type questions, you have to ensure that certain terminology is used to get the marks. all of this can really only be done if you have a clear understanding of all the content.

Which exam board?
