My AS results were fine, apart from randomly getting a C in a history paper, I got an A* equivalent in the other subjects, though I am not sure what some of my exams are out of. I'm probably applying for Physics at Oxford, so I got above 90 in all Maths, Further Maths and Physics papers

Are you doing extra-curricular reading for this? I'm reading a few (un-)popular science books to go on the personal statement and as interview material, and also the Feynman Lectures which are the best books I've ever read.

Yeah, I'm currently reading Quantum Physics: Reality or Illusion? by Alexander Ray, which is a really good introduction to quantum physics, I know I have a Feynmann book, but I am not sure which one. I might get those lectures once I finish the books I already have (I don't think the one I have is his Lectures), my physics teacher speaks very very highly of him and strongly we reccomend we read his books
