When should I start revising?I have 3 exams in History, Politics and Sociology dotted between the 10th-20th June. I'm currently on AAA, albeit they are close to the boundaries, and would need to get around 80 for History (I love), 77 for Politics and 74 for Sociology.
When should I start? I'm so nervous about F-ing up! Now would be a silly time to start in my opinion, it's 3 months away and I only starting learning content for these units in January. -

You need to start now by checking over tough topics,you've just learned and checking over topics,you've forgotten.You have never got to stop revising for A-Levels.
OP, I'd start making all your revision notes now to save yourself time later. -

Re: When should I start revising?I did 6 weeks revision for 7 exams last summer, and 4 weeks of revision for 4 exams this January, and am now on AAA with 3 exams left, I think that's a good deal. I don't know how you're going to get through a degree with that amount of work at A-level...(Original post by Dalek1099)

GCSEs are nothing compared with AS, let alone A2s -

Re: When should I start revising?It's never too early to start believe me. Even if others say to you oh I won't be starting until Easter or oh I only started 2 eeks before, that's a smoke screen. Besides you won't regret it when com results day you opeen the envelop and you get te grades you want and need. So start as soon as you ca really and don't worry about what anyone else thinks.(Original post by sarah1345)

Re: When should I start revising?Degrees,often don't require revision because they are mainly dissertation.(Original post by sarah1345)

Re: When should I start revising?apparently now is when you need to start revising. Don't do what i will inevitably do, put it off till about 2 weeks before and be overwhelmed by just how much you have to do.(Original post by sarah1345)

FFS, revise when you want to revise. Just don't leave it at the last minute.

Re: When should I start revising?Sorry, I was only asking for opinions! Last year for AS, I started around Easter, with exams in mid-may. However, everything is a month later this time round for A2, and unlike last year when I had 7, this year I have just three.(Original post by This Honest)
