Do you have any advice for studying AS and A level chem or physics or compsci or math? Or all of the above? 😭 /gen

physics: use physics and maths tutor for information + past papers + some flashcards and u can always use past paper questions from other exam boards as long as u check the spec, the phsyics doesnt change that much really and ask your teachers for past papers/mulitple choice questions because they'll have access to more questions than u can (im pretty sure 2021 papers are locked for the general public but teachers could access them)

maths: past papers. literally just as many past papers u can get your hands on, even old spec or other specs bc maths doesnt really change that much ive found. u can ask your teachers if they have zigzag papers which r like a set of papers with a mix of 15-ish questions and idk which board you use but edexcel released a bunch of topic tests for each topic that have a ton of questions from old papers sorted by topic + physics and maths tutor have a lot of past papers. the solomon papers r also good

compsci: smartrevise is rlly good and its like . 12? pounds for two years. it has multiple choice questions and longer answer questions and it'll show you the mark scheme adn you can sort by which topics acording to the spec what u want to revise and physics and maths tutor has information documents for cs too

chemistry: i dont do chemistry but physics and maths tutor has past papers and some informaton document things but idk if theyre that good so. take that w a grain of salt

general: a way i like to study is by reading through a textbook chapter or a section of a phsyics and maths tutor topic document thing and on a blank peice of paper writing down like topic titles or terms or things (ex: data buses [next line], FDE cycle [next line], first normal form etc etc) and then closing the tab and writing down everything you remember (ex: data buses are bidirectional buses in the cpu that carry data between the registers and the RAM, FDE cycle - fetch: the address bus goes to the data address indicated by the program counter, etcetc) and then open the tab again and write out in a different colour pen everything you forgot (this is called blurting if you want to find a better explanation)

and when youre doing past papers use the examiners report to see what other people got wrong/how that cohort performed

ALSO take regular breaks, remember to have a balanced diet and sleeping a regular amount at regular times and do some sort of excerize - your brain works best when your body is taken care of, you'll remember more when you sleep a regular amount

GOOD LUCK 🌟
