nice to meet you too! I think it's been really interesting so far, some of the content a little challenging to learn as I'm year 12 but still going well! How about for you?

Any one looking for extra resources which may help.

I can post some of them. They are freely available.

The reference text is really good but may be challenging for most of the A level physics students.

thanks yeah, I've been finding it tough too and I'm year 13! but super rewarding, it'll definitely put us in good stead for uni (or apprenticeships, or whatever you plan to go onto after sixth form)

Thanks so much! I've finished the 3Blue1Brown series and it was great - will be sure to look into the other materials :smile:
