My Physics Tutoring: zphysicslessons.net/physics-tutoring
Here is how I would prepare for a Physics Olympiad, including the International Physics Olympiad, National Rounds, European Physics Olympiad (EUPhO), Asian Physics Olympiad. Parts of this guide can also be used for the preparation of entrance exams including the JEE Advanced, JEE Main.
Elements of this can be used to prepare for the Oxford PAT and Cambridge ENGAA, however mainly the graphs and the displacement by differentiation and integration as rotational physics is not really on the syllabus from what I can see.
Please note that if you are preparing for the Y12 Senior Physics Challenge this video is a little bit too advanced for this yet, so don't be alarmed if you find it tricky.
This is also excellent preparation for university courses in Physics and Engineering.
