How does Oxford Revise support your Science A Level revision?
We have a wealth of experience in supporting students for AQA Biology, AQA Chemistry, AQA Physics, OCR Biology, OCR Chemistry and OCR Physics A Level exams. So how does it work? With Oxford Revise you have:
- Knowledge organisers: Establishing the key knowledge and concepts you need to know for every topic, these knowledge organisers provide a solid base for you to start from. They are laid out in a way to show how ideas build and flow from one another and the synoptic links between topics. There are diagrams and illustrations, key terminology and revision tips.
- Retrieval practice: So, how well have you remembered all of this content? Answering sets of retrieval questions will show you just that, and also helps to move this knowledge from your short- to your long-term memory.
- Practice questions: The final step is to put all of your revision in to the practice and answer the 100s of exam-style questions. Every topic has questions in the common formats you will see when you open your exam-paper. Being familiar with these means that you can focus on answering the question and showing them what you’re made of!
