*Either Biology, Physics or Maths and one other, the one other must be a ‘hard subject’ and not directly related to one of the others. For example, if you have taken chemistry and biology, human biology will not count as a third. If you have taken chemistry and maths, further maths will not count as a third.

Please do not rely just on this information, I have done the best I can, but Things get updated quickly and I this information may be incorrect or out of date. It is essential that you look at UCAS and the universities website your self

Huge improvement

I went from being a grade 7 gcse student, to being a grade 9 student at the end of the year.

Geography Paper 3 predicted paper

The predicted paper was fairly accurate, although I more so purchased it for the section A, which you can't do on regular past papers. Would recommend

A-Level Chemistry Predicted Papers

Very useful practice paper

Working through this practice paper gave my son a good idea of what te exam would entail and gave him confidence in his preparation. So glad we bought it for him. Thank you.

Very helpful
