5 of the best A-Level revision websites: our shortlist

Kepler leads our shortlist with connected lessons, topic tracking and custom exam-paper practice, alongside PMT, Save My Exams, Seneca and Maths Genie.

You have a topic test on Friday, a folder full of notes and six revision websites open. Which one should you actually use?

Kepler Revise is our number-one pick for an all-in-one A-Level revision platform. It brings lessons, practice, topic tracking and targeted exam questions together, so what you learn from one session can guide the next.

Our shortlist also includes Physics & Maths Tutor, Save My Exams, Seneca and Maths Genie. Here is what each offers and why Kepler leads our list.

A quick disclosure: we build Kepler Revise, and this is our own editorial shortlist. We have put it first because it connects learning, tracking and targeted practice. The other four sites offer useful resources alongside that workflow.

1. Kepler Revise: our top pick for all-in-one revision

Kepler takes the top spot because the revision tools connect. Lessons, worked examples, quizzes, flashcards, exam-paper practice and progress tracking come together in one platform. You can learn a topic, test it and use the results to decide what to work on next.

The most useful part is what happens when you struggle. Kepler tracks your performance by topic and highlights areas where you are losing marks. From there, you can revisit the relevant lesson and work through custom exam-paper questions and focused practice sets to address those gaps.

That gives you a practical route through revision:

  1. Learn the topic. Choose your subject and exam board in the course catalogue, then work through the lesson and examples.
  2. Find the gaps. Your topic tracking and dashboard help you see which areas need more work as you build up practice results.
  3. Target your practice. Use exam-paper questions on those topics, build a focused set or return to questions you previously missed.
  4. Check your progress. Review the marking and your later attempts to see what is improving and what still needs attention.

For example, if integration keeps costing you marks, your next step can be specific: revisit the integration by parts lesson, attempt a focused set of integration questions, then use the feedback to plan the next session. The lesson, practice and record of how you are doing stay connected.

This is why Kepler is our first recommendation for students who want their revision in one place. You have both the resources to study and a way to turn the topics you struggle with into a useful practice plan.

Ranked Maths practice adds head-to-head competition when you want another way to test yourself. Public course lessons are readable without signing in; create an account to save your progress and use your personal revision workspace.

Try it for: an all-in-one revision routine that connects learning, topic tracking and targeted exam-paper practice.

2. Physics & Maths Tutor: our pick for finding the right resource

Physics & Maths Tutor is a useful place to look when you already know the topic you need. Its public library includes revision notes, topic questions, past papers and Maths solution banks, with resources organised across several A-Level subjects.

The practical advantage is being able to start from a named gap. If a mock exposed weak circuit reasoning, find the appropriate Physics topic resources and work on that gap before sitting another whole paper.

The trade-off: take a moment to check the qualification, board and file type. A resource can be useful without being the exact paper or specification you intended to practise.

Try it for: collecting the questions and marking material for a focused topic session or full-paper attempt. Our past-paper review guide explains what to do with the mistakes afterwards.

3. Save My Exams: our pick for a course-specific explanation

Save My Exams organises A-Level resources by subject and exam board, including revision notes and exam questions. It is worth considering when you need another explanation of something your class notes have not made clear.

Choose a small section, read the explanation and then try a related question. That checks whether the explanation helped you use the idea, rather than simply making it feel familiar.

The trade-off: access matters. Save My Exams offers some resources free, while full access requires a membership. Read its current free-access guidance and check what your chosen course includes before planning a large amount of work around it.

Try it for: getting a second explanation of a specific topic, followed by a written attempt you can check.

4. Seneca: our pick for interactive recall sessions

Seneca offers curriculum-matched courses with interactive learning and questions. Its A-Level course directory covers a range of subjects, including subjects beyond the Maths and science focus of several entries here.

It is a useful option when an interactive session helps you get started. Choose a defined topic and finish by identifying something you could explain again without the prompts.

The trade-off: check the exact course, board and access level. Seneca has free courses and optional Premium packages, and its coverage guidance makes clear that every possible course is not necessarily available. Keep written calculations, extended explanations or essays in your plan where your assessment requires them.

Try it for: revisiting material between longer sessions and spotting something that needs another look.

5. Maths Genie: our pick for a Maths-focused resource route

Maths Genie's A-Level Maths section provides a board selector and links to free past papers, exam questions, worksheets and revision guides. It also lists topic videos and lessons.

That makes it a sensible starting point when the task is specifically mathematical: revisit a method, write out some solutions and check the working. Select the relevant board before choosing a resource, especially where current and legacy qualifications are both listed.

The trade-off: this recommendation is for A-Level Maths. You will need suitable resources for your other subjects as well. Watching a method is only the first part of the session; attempt a fresh question without the walkthrough beside you.

Try it for: a focused Maths practice session with a clear topic and a set of questions to complete.

How to choose without opening another five tabs

Decide what is stopping you from making progress today.

  • The explanation does not make sense yet: choose a matching Kepler lesson, Save My Exams section or Maths Genie explanation for Maths.
  • You understand the lesson but need practice: use Kepler's topic tracking to choose a focused exam-question set, or find an additional topic set on PMT or Maths Genie.
  • You want a short return visit to older material: revisit your Kepler flashcards or questions you missed, or try an interactive session on Seneca.
  • You need to rehearse the exam: find the correct paper, use its published conditions and leave time to mark and review it.

You can combine resources. A useful pairing might be a lesson for the explanation and a separate question set to test whether you can apply it in unfamiliar wording.

Keep your exam board's specification, published assessment information and your teacher's guidance as the reference for what you need to study. A revision website's topic list or progress indicator does not replace them.

What should you use first?

Choose one topic you recently got wrong. Open a resource for your exact course, try a question and check what happened. If the resource helps you understand the gap and take the next step, it is doing a useful job.

Start with your course on Kepler, work through a topic and build up a record of your practice. Then use the topics you struggle with to guide your next set of exam-paper questions.

A few common questions

What is the best free A-Level revision website?

Kepler is our first pick for students who want lessons, topic tracking and targeted exam-question practice in one place. Public course lessons are readable without signing in, and an account connects your progress and personal practice. PMT, Maths Genie and Seneca also offer useful free resources; check the subject and exam board you need.

Do I need a paid revision subscription?

Start by checking whether available public resources and the materials supplied by your school cover the work you need. A subscription may be useful if its particular resources solve a gap in that setup. Compare the current access terms before paying.

Can I use resources from another exam board?

They can provide additional explanations and practice where the content overlaps. Check the topic against your own specification and use your qualification's materials when rehearsing its paper structure and marking requirements.
