Macbeth:
Sparknotes has some brilliant notes and a clear breakdown of every scene in the play into Modern English.

The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde:
Again, Sparknotes is an exceptional resource. You can learn all about the characters here and revise key scenes and quotes.
Shmoop's website is really user-friendly here, and has some good overview of plot and characters. This is my favourite site for Jekyll and Hyde.
BBC Bitesize is currently being updated, but has some great mock exam questions and quizzes to try.
English Language - Paper 1/2:
BBC Bitesize is your go-to here. It has a HUGE bank of information regarding both Paper 1 and Paper 2, with clear guidance on how to best analyse fiction and non-fiction texts. You can do quizzes, tests and quick activities to brush up on your knowledge and skills.
For SPaG (something many of you painfully need to begin practising!), this Primary Resources website has some useful activities. Even though it's made for primary-age children, it has some clear guidance on using advance punctuation, specifically commas and semi-colons.
