With respect to your question, I did something similar, getting decent A-level results but then, er, having other things to do for 10 years. I went back and worked through my A-level textbooks again at 28, I found it quite helpful knowing "that I had done this before" and I think it got me back up to speed quite quickly (a summer).

Yeah, I definitely think that will help. I've had the same experience when trying to get back into running. Knowing I used to run a lot makes it a lot easier getting started all over again.
