A-level Revision

Hi! I\'m a student currently about to start at the University of Leeds to study Medicine. At A-levels I took Chemistry, Biology and Maths and received 3 As. Throughout studying I made extensive revision notes using my iPad which are neat and handwritten so have decided to pass them on through selling them on this account. I hope my notes can help someone as much as they helped me through my A-levels.
