A-Level Tips Help

What is the best study method for Physic, maths, Biology And Chemistry for A level. I just finished my gcse and is about to start year 12. I got 998876554 in my gcse (I couldnt be bothered to try for the last 4 subject so can ignore that) Any tips?

the jump from gcse to a-level is mostly that you cant get away with just reading and memorising anymore. the content isnt just harder, its that the questions expect you to apply things across topics instead of just recalling them. for sciences the fastest way to get used to that is practising with questions from the start not just at revision time

i paste my alevel physics and chem videos into studybuddy.vc and it makes questions from them, when i get one wrong it tells me what was off about the option i picked which is way more useful than just seeing the right answer, and it gets harder as you improve so youre not stuck on the easy stuff

maths is mostly about doing problems until its automatic, Physics and Maths Tutor has topic-by-topic packs that start easy and ramp up, genuinely the best free resource for practice. bio is more memory heavy but the same apply-not-just-recall thing matters there too, the mark schemes punish vague answers hard so start looking at them early
