Awesome Student Resources v1.0.0
The first tagged release of the list: a curated, actively-maintained set of tools, channels, sites, and books for students, plus the contribution tooling to keep it that way.
What's in the list
- Exam & Curriculum Prep for SAT, ACT, AP, A-Level, GCSE, IGCSE, and IB
- By Subject picks across Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Computer Science, Economics, Business Studies, English Language and Literature, Foreign Languages, History, Geography, Environmental Systems & Societies, Psychology, Art, and Music
- Beyond the syllabus: Notes & Knowledge Management, Flashcards & Spaced Repetition, Task/Time/Planning, Writing/Citations/Reference, Diagramming & STEM Tools, Building Software / Learn to Code (with a dedicated Coding Practice subsection), Student Discounts & Free Access, Scholarships & Financial Aid, University & Career Prep, Mental Health & Wellbeing, and Communities
- Media: YouTube Channels We Trust, Blogs/Newsletters/Podcasts, Books We Trust, and Great Textbooks
Every entry follows the same rule: real, maintained, reputable, and pricing noted up front. See the Quality Standards for the full bar.
Contribution tooling
CONTRIBUTING.mdand issue/PR templates for resource suggestions, broken links, and new-section proposals- A Code of Conduct
- CI that checks entry format, alphabetical order, and Table of Contents consistency on every PR
- A scheduled weekly link checker that opens an issue the moment something goes dead
- Markdown linting tuned to this repo's style (long single-line entries, collapsible sections)
- A duplicate-URL audit so reviewers can see at a glance where a resource is intentionally cross-listed
Fixed along the way
- The UWorld SAT link, which had gone stale after UWorld moved its SAT pages to a new subdomain
- A dead entry (Studynova, confirmed offline) removed rather than left to rot
