For maths and physics, I'd say to get the notes down asap, go over what you do in class the day of in condensed notes - flashcards, cheat sheets; and then from there just work on applying the knowledge regularly.

PhysicsAndMathsTutor is good for Physics and Maths (it's kinda in the name), they have full past papers but also questions by topic. I also quite like the Oxford Revise Guide for Physics (I do AQA, so I'm not sure if it would help). Maths wise AS papers are the best for Year 12, as they just contain Year 12 content. If not, just use your textbooks and do different questions from them to revise. Sometimes, I pick a topic and randomly generate the number of 3-4 questions in that chapter and do them as revision. Hope this helps!!

Life saver 🙏, I’m also AQA so I’ll try the Oxford Revision Guide out. Appreciate the help.

Much love

Hi for economics I recommend buying used/ borrowing a textbook for the subject (I do edexcel and they are usually quite helpful). Other really good methods are practice. Truly do a lot of practice and it’s gonna come to you. Main thing is understanding. It sounds ridiculous but truly if you get into the reasoning for everything you’re learning all of the knowledge and application for econ is gonna come right away. I recommend EconPlusDal on YouTube, my teachers also recommend Tutor2U but I’m personally not a fan, find what suits you best. Good luck!
