As part of the course we will loan to you CGP Physics Year 1 & 2 Physics books.
These support the course but are not "required reading".
Specifications, Data + Formulae Sheets, Past Papers, Mark Schemes & Grade Calculators
Made by Mr Cragon - Maps old spec exam papers to new spec, compares grade boundarys by yearand how they have changed due to covid, to be used in conjunction with past papers.
Student written calculator guide for FX-991EX however it will also work for FX-83/85GTX but some of the functions will not be available.
Mr Cragons Notes & Scheme of Work
The link bellow takes you to the KS5 SoW. Each folder is a lesson, most of the lessons contain questions and notes. Please remember some of the notes were written some time ago, when Mr Cragon was training to be a teacher! So there may be the odd mistake. The worked solution refer to the old AQA Physics Book. Any exams have been removed.

ChatGTP 3.5 (current free version) can answer most A-Level question the trick is be specific with your question. Use a prompts like:
Answer the following UK A-Level Physics Questions, in bullet point style, each point should be worth 1 mark. The question is X marks, the question is: XXXXXXX
or
Explain the following UK A-Level physics concept xxxxxxxx, - if it is still not clear tell it and it will simplify its response.
At the moment you need to make an account to access the free version of ChatGTP although this is changing in the coming months.
There are many LLMs/AIs Grok, LLama, Gemini, ChatGTP, Claude, Mistral all work very in a very similar way. The paid for AIs - ChatGTP4, Gemini, Claude are also able to take questions copy and pasted into them but these require a subscription - These have however answered all the multi choice questions I have thrown at them! (Mr Cragon)
Using AI/LLMs as a revision tool/study help is not cheating, however asking it to write work for you, copying it without refrencing is!
