Okay, btw I'm doing Maths, chemistry and biology, does that mean I should start now because they are harder subjects?

No, start now because you need to resit and therefore didn't get the grades you needed before. The subjects are irrelevant; all that matters is assuring your performance in the resits. You don't want to be in the position of realising in March that you can't make your offers because you didn't do the business in January.

Lots of people will tell you that they only studied for an hour/ week or whatever and that's great for them. But what matters is that you get what you need to get into the courses you want. The AS modules are easier than A2 so with work you should be able to max your scores in the resits and lift your overall grade as a result.

My advice is to start now. Don't over do it but at least write up your AS notes, it wont hurt
