Which site should I use?

Best Free A Level Revision Websites

Physics and Maths Tutor is the honest first answer if you want free A Level breadth across several subjects, because its core notes, worksheets and past-paper questions are free to browse without an account. Revision Library sits second for students who specifically want printable practice, because the [[/library|free library]] puts downloadable packs and mark schemes together across the A Level subjects it covers. Cognito, Seneca and Quizlet can all help, but their strengths are narrower or their free access is more qualified.

How this list was made

For this comparison, we reviewed the article's site records and source notes on 13 September 2026 with one question in mind: could a Year 12 or Year 13 student make real progress tonight without paying first? Free sites were judged on subject breadth, account access and exam-standard practice. Freemium sites were included only where the recorded free core product looked useful in its own right, not merely as a preview of paid extras.

The full comparison

Physics and Maths Tutor (PMT)

Best for revision guides alongside practice papers

Physics and Maths Tutor (PMT) is a free resource site with revision notes, worksheets and past-paper questions sorted by topic and exam board, across maths, the sciences and several other GCSE/A Level subjects. It also sells separate paid tutoring, crash courses and printed workbooks alongside the free material.

For a student taking a mixed A Level timetable, PMT is the most useful free first stop in this list because its notes, worksheets and past-paper questions sit across maths, science and other subjects. The separate paid tutoring, crash courses and printed workbooks do not stop the core revision material being free.

Revision Library

Best for free printable practice with mark schemes

Put tonight's weakest folder on the desk first. The main revision library is built around printable packs, and the A Level areas for A Level Maths, A Level Sciences and A Level Psychology all keep questions and mark schemes in the same download.

The useful thing for a general A Level timetable is the format. If maths needs method practice, psychology needs short evaluation paragraphs and science needs applied questions, a printable pack gives each subject the same simple routine: attempt, mark, correct, then decide whether the next hour belongs to the same subject or to the one being neglected.

For maths, Revision Library also gives a route from topic practice into paper-style work: the A Level Maths practice papers, maths Pack Builder and past-paper tool suit students who want to move from one weak area to mixed exam preparation. For a student choosing between subjects, the value is less about any single specification and more about having comparable practice tasks across the subjects Revision Library covers.

The trade-off is breadth. PMT covers more A Level subjects overall, while Revision Library leads here only inside the subjects it publishes. If your subjects match its coverage, the A Level Maths revision plan and A Level Psychology revision plan can turn free downloads into a week-by-week routine rather than another folder of unused PDFs.

Cognito

Best for video-led revision across several qualification systems

Cognito (previously at cognitoedu.org) is a free video-led revision platform spanning many subjects and qualifications, including GCSE, A Level, IB and AP, with revision notes, a large quiz bank, flashcards and AI-marked exam-style questions.

Cognito is free and needs no account for its core use, which makes it a good explanation-first option when a topic has not clicked in class. It is less focused on printable worksheets, so it pairs better with written practice than replaces it.

Seneca Learning

Best for free AI-marked practice questions

Seneca Learning is a free-to-use revision platform with interactive courses, an AI-marked question bank and an AI study companion; a paid Premium upgrade adds further features. Its own level list runs from Primary and KS3 through the 11+, GCSE and iGCSE to A Level and the IB.

Seneca's free core product gives interactive courses and AI-marked questions across GCSE and A Level, with Premium features sitting separately. Signing up appears to be needed to start a course, so it is less immediate than a no-account download site.

Quizlet

Best for free flashcards and self-quizzing

Quizlet is a general-purpose flashcard and study-set platform, not specific to UK exam boards, where users can create and study their own sets or use ones other people have published. A paid Quizlet Plus upgrade exists alongside the free core product.

Quizlet's free core product is useful for definitions, formulae and short factual recall across any A Level subject. Because it is a general flashcard platform rather than a UK exam-board resource, the quality of a public set depends on the person who made it.

How to choose

A Level choice is different from GCSE choice because one weak subject can contain a whole year's worth of specialised content. If you take three or four subjects, start with the site that covers the largest share of your timetable, then use subject pages such as A Level Maths or A Level Sciences when you need printable depth.

The second question is whether you need teaching, recall or exam-standard answers. Video-led sites help when the lesson itself is unclear, flashcards help when terminology keeps slipping, and printable packs help when your notes look fine but your written answers do not yet earn marks.

For essay or explanation-heavy subjects, do not only collect summaries. Build a cycle where you revise the content, answer questions, mark them, and then return to the exact topic that lost marks; the psychology Pack Builder and maths topic guides are useful when you want that narrower follow-up.

Frequently asked questions

What if a free site covers my subject but not my exact option?+
Use it for the shared core first, then check your specification or teacher's plan before spending a whole evening on optional content. A broad free site is still useful for methods, definitions and common topic areas, but option-heavy work should be matched back to the board, set text or endorsed route you are actually studying.
Are all the websites in this list completely free?+
No. PMT, Cognito and Revision Library have free core resources. Seneca and Quizlet are freemium, so judge them by whether the free core product lets you complete a useful study session without paying, not by whether a paid upgrade also exists.
What should I use after class notes?+
Use class notes to refresh the idea, then move quickly into marked practice. In a general timetable, pick the subject where marks are currently leaking fastest and set a timed practice block for that subject first. If the question is specifically about biology, chemistry or physics resources, move from this overview to the A Level science revision websites article rather than treating a multi-subject list as the final answer.
Is a flashcard site enough for A Level?+
Usually not on its own. Flashcards are useful for definitions and recall, but A Level marks often depend on method, explanation and application, so pair them with written practice and mark schemes from a site such as Revision Library or PMT.
