Alevel Study Plan

The document outlines a 4-month study plan for A Level Computer Science, covering both AS and A2 content across four papers. Each month is divided into specific weeks focusing on theory, programming, and past paper practice, gradually increasing in complexity and depth. The final month emphasizes exam simulations, review, and addressing weak areas to ensure readiness for the exams.
