Best websites

I am a y12 student studying biology ,chemistry and psychology and I have been searching for YouTubers and websites to help out but I always have to pay for the best features. I just want a free website that is very good.
Does anyone have any recommendations or resources (that can be passed on)??
Thank you.

Hello @R*se,

When I was doing A-level Psychology, I found SimplyPsychology to be a good website for content, StudySmarter and Quizlet to be good for flashcards, and the AQA website to be good for finding past papers and mark schemes. But you should look at whatever exam board you are doing.

Hope this helped and let me know if you have any more questions :smile:

Aqa for bio and OCR A for chem

Biology A level AQA I find is underresourced. Biology Carol (Youtube channel) has some good free videos. Tbh, just bangout biology past papers until the mark schemes are seared into your brain.

I did AQA Chemistry, I synthesised notes from various sources:
https://www.physicsandmathstutor.com/
https://chemrevise.org/
https://www.a-levelchemistry.co.uk/

I supplemented from the official exam board textbook as well.

I am not sure if the official textbook for OCR A is any good as I haven't personally done that specific exam board.
