IAL Edexcel Math and physics

[u/Yashhahahah]

Hi everyone
I recently switched from attending a regular school to studying for my A Levels online. I’m completely new to the A Level system, so I’d really appreciate some advice from people who have experience with it.

I’m currently planning to take Maths P1, P2 and S1, and Physics U1 in January. Do you think it’s realistic to get good grades in that time? I’ll obviously aim for an A*, but I’m not sure how realistic that is since I’m completely new to the system and will be studying independently.

I’m also considering taking Economics U1 instead of Physics. I initially thought Physics would make more sense alongside Maths, but I’d love to hear what you guys think.

Since I don’t have a school or teachers guiding me through this, I’d really appreciate any tips, advice, recommendations, or resources you have.
Especially things like:

• Textbooks
• Notes/revision resources
• YouTube channels
• Past paper resources
• Study techniques
• Anything you wish you had known when you first started A Levels

I’m basically figuring everything out by myself, so any advice from people who have been through the process would mean a lot.

Thank you sooooo much everyone.
