I've been making these notes over the last 2 years and they've kept me consistently achieving A*s, staying above 85% in all year 13 mocks and end of topic tests. They're extremely detailed and have been compiled from my notes, CGP textbook, CGP revision guides, the AQA textbook, AND physics and mat...
