Notes, Essays and Revision Material for English Literature, History and Religious Studies A-Level
I have uploaded all of the notes, practice essays and revision materials that I used in my A-Level exams in 2019 hoping to help current A-Level students with their exams. My materials cover AQA English Literature, OCR History and Edexcel Religious Studies, and I achieved an A* in English, an A in History and an A in Religious Studies. I hope to be of use, and please message if you require any clarification on my materials or the subjects themselves :)
