💡 How to get the most from these resources

📋Use CGP tests for timed practice — the 10-minute format is ideal for building exam stamina. Do one test per subject per week.
📺Watch BBC Bitesize videos first — then come back to KindraIQ to test yourself on the same topic with AI-generated questions.
📄AQA past papers are gold — print one paper per half term and do it under timed conditions. Mark it with the official mark scheme.
🎓Oak National Academy — if a topic is confusing, find the Oak lesson on it. The videos are short (about 15 minutes) and curriculum-perfect.
🔁Best routine — Watch (BBC/YouTube) → Read (CGP book) → Test yourself (KindraIQ AI quiz) → Past paper (AQA). This four-step cycle works.
