Hey! I’m currently a Year 11 Student. I am studying Biology (AQA), Chemistry (Edexcel), Physics (OCR A) and Maths (Edexcel) in A-Levels in 79 days exactly. If you have any tips or advice, please tell me. Here I will be posting what I have been doing to help achieve my goal of AAAA, I aspire to go to Oxford University to study Medicine. Thanks
Currently looking at some revision books to purchase on Amazon. Any recommendations? I found this revision guide for Maths endorsed by Edexcel that is relatively cheap, and a CGP one for Physics.

Over the summer,I advise you revise your algebraic manipulation as most of AS maths involves algebraic manipulation.So revise that please. Revise maths regularly is the key to success.Even something like 30 mins a day is sufficient.Try to understand maths,and not fall into the habit of just doing exam papers without understanding why your doing what you are doing.In other words,try to develop your mathematical maturity,something Zacken can explain better than me. @Zacken.
Wow, thank you! I am going to buy the Maths C1 C2 book. Algebraic manipulation sounds a tad difficult. Thank you for these links, they seem really helpful, I have bookmarked them.

Hey Im a currently a yr13 student. Im studying bio maths and chem i have exams in few days, can u let me borrow ur determination. Thanks in advance
Oxford medicine damn, what were your gcse grades? Make sure you absolutely smash UKCAT (aim for around 800-850's) to stand out among oxford applicants and prepare loads for BMAT, as they can turn the tide easily on when they're reviewing your application, definitely apply to a few "safe" options and practice the interview technique as much as possible as that will be incredibly important Just focus on full ums for AS's, so you stress less at A2 Use the summer, but dont already start revising for AS's as you'll likely forget everything and it wont be very useful. However, looking over some stuff cant harm you, a smarter use of your summer would be doing as much work experience and charity work as possible because universities, especially in healthcare (eg medicine dentistry vet medicine) LOVE that.
I cant motivate myself from that, that guy is smart im dum lol Someone to achieve such results means theyre not ordinary like me But thanks for trying your hardest to give me some motivation

Thanks for the advice! I currently took my GCSEs, I am getting my results in a month or so, I am predicted high grades for the sciences and maths, history is also a subject I excel in. My option subjects are Drama and Economics, I am good at Drama but Economics is probably my worst, (I get C's). I’m not revising technically, I am just going over and answering a few questions here and there. I live in London so finding work experience is very hard, and to add to that, my school did not allow us to get any work experience at all (only to those who would benefit from it — students who get 100% in every subject they take). Again, thank you for the tips, I’ll take it into consideration.
Try to understand maths,and not fall into the habit of just doing exam papers without understanding why your doing what you are doing.
When you say don't do past papers without understanding why you're doing what you're doing, do you mean understanding why you're doing past papers (as in how they benefit your learning) or understanding why you're doing each maths question the way you are (as in understanding why maths works how it does)?

I must say, past papers helped me a lot in GCSEs. I would look at the question, and if I didn’t understand it, I went through my textbook and tried to memorise the topic I misunderstood and then answer the question. Helped a lot.
