TeachAIStudy planning
Choose your GCSE and A level courses
Schools choose an exam board for each subject, and it can differ from subject to subject. Start with the board and specification code on your exam timetable or from your teacher.
Pick the board for each subject
Your Chemistry might be AQA while your Maths is Pearson Edexcel. Choose each course with its own board: AQA Chemistry (8462) and Edexcel Mathematics (1MA1) can sit side by side in one profile. If you are not sure, ask your teacher or check the paper codes on your exam timetable.
Separate sciences or Combined Science
Separate sciences are three GCSEs: Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Combined Science (AQA Trilogy 8464 or Edexcel 1SC0) is one double award with Biology, Chemistry and Physics strands; its units carry a strand label. Choose one route for a board, not both.
Choose your tier, and change it when you need to
Every GCSE course here is tiered. Foundation students see Higher-only content labelled and set aside; Higher students see everything. Each topic has a Foundation and a Higher practice set. If your school has not decided your tier yet, choose Higher: the Foundation sets stay open to you.
AS only or the full A level
Most students take the full A level. If you are taking the AS only, your checklists show AS content, and A level-only sections stay readable with a label. All A level papers sit in the summer series.
Plan around the summer series
GCSE and A level papers run from early May to late June. GCSE Maths also has a November resit series. Countdowns show approximate planning windows; confirm your actual paper dates with your school. TeachAI questions are original exam-style practice resources.
Check your own course
Assessment details and command-term definitions are set by your subject guide and can change between guide editions. Check the guide for your examination session and follow your teacher’s advice. The methods and examples above are written by TeachAI.
