Casio FX-991EX
You might already own this if you do A-level Maths. If not, i'd still recommend this calculator as in A-level Physics, you may come across questions where you need to solve simultaneous equations or a quadratic equation.
Oxford MyNotes Notebook
This notebook came in handy, especially for physics. The main selling point for this would be the Scribzee feature, where you can very easily scan your notes onto an app, which makes it so easy to share digitally. The paper quality is also one of the best i've seen.
Oxford Revision Cards
If you prefer creating phyisical flashcards, these are probably the best ones out there. Similar to the notebook, you can also use the Scribezee feature, and scan your cards onto an app, which makes it so easy to use and share digitally.
Helix Maths Set
An essential, definetely more reliable than the ones they provide you during the exam. And yes, you will actually end up using this in Physics.
Pin-Point pen
This pen completely enhanced my writing experience,
and had people asking me where they could get it from all
the time.
"That's a fresh pen you've got there" - my maths teacher.
WJEC AS Physics Study and Revision Guide
If you're looking for a textbook that goes through the different concepts in AS Physics in quite a well explained way, this is for you. It also provides questions for each topic, with hints too. This book would be pretty good for collating info when making flash cards.
WJEC A2 Physics Study and Revision Guide
A really good textbook that covers concepts in A2 Physics in a very detailed, yet concise manner which is easy to understand. It also provides questions for each topic with hints. Similar to the one for AS, it would be pretty good for collating info when making flash cards.

Method 1: Eduqas AS
Essentially, WJEC have another department based in England which is called "Eduqas". This department basically makes the exams for A-levels and GCSE's, in the England format.
The Eduqas AS Physics course follows the exact same specification as the WJEC AS Physics course, so their papers can be used for revision.
PMT, (Physics and Maths Tutor) have collated these past papers and mark schemes for Eduqas AS Physics, and can be accessed below:
Method 2: Eduqas Components
Essentially, WJEC have another department based in England which is called "Eduqas". This department basically makes the exams for A-levels and GCSE's, in the England format.
The Eduqas A2 Physics course consists of 3 different components- Component 1, 2 and 3.
In order to find more questions for WJEC AS physics, you need to look through the Eduqas A-level Physics Specification, and find which components contain the topics you would like to revise.
For example, if you want to revise 'Solids under stress', you would look at which topics each components consists of, and on page 21 of the specification, you will realise that it is in Component 2. Therefore, you should look at all the Component 2 past papers if you're looking to revise that topic.
PMT, (Physics and Maths Tutor) have collated the past papers and mark schemes for Eduqas A-level Physics, and can be accessed below:
Method 3: WJEC Old Spec
Before 2016, WJEC used a different specification, whereby the units were organised differently, but the questions themselves had very similar styles.
The old spec was organised into 6 units, Unit 1 and 2 were similar to AS exams, Unit 4 and 5 were similar to A2 exams and Unit 3 and 6 were basically practical exams.
In order to find more questions for WJEC AS physics, you need to look through the Old WJEC Physics specification, and find which units contain the topics you would like to revise.
However, you will need to be very very careful, as the topics themselves may have changed, or some parts of topics may have been removed.
For example, if you want to revise 'Solids under stress', you might go on to realise whilst looking through the old specification that it didn't exist before, but the same topics used to be assessed in the topic "Materials", which is an optional topic in Unit 5.
Of course, be super careful, and if you come across something you've never seen before, ask your teacher if you will be assessed on it just to be safe.

However, you will need to be very very careful, as the topics themselves may have changed, or some parts of topics may have been removed.
For example, if you want to revise 'Nuclear Energy', you should check the old specification, and on page 37, you will realuise that it used to be in Unit 5.
HOWEVER, you need to be careful with this as certain points in this topic have changed - e.g. control rods and coolands are no longer assessed in Nuclear Energy in the new specification.
Of course, be super careful, and if you come across something you've never seen before, ask your teacher if you will be assessed on it just to be safe.
