    To be fair I had tests coming up for the subjects in class anyway so it was just common sense to make them anyway I do Biology, Psychology, Law and Drama What about you?

    I don't understand how people can start revising just now or a couple of weeks ago for the exams in May/June. :confused: I started revising in January as I always have frequent class tests and I revise thoroughly for all of them! I revise nearly every single day! I don't do what my college ask me to do (5 or 6 hours revision a day) but I got straight As and high UMS in the January modules with 1 or 2 hours a day!

    When I saw this thread come up on the TSR homepage I thought to myself, "wow, someone who's asked when AS students are going to start studying for their May exams as little as a month before! I'm glad there are others out there like me! There is hope yet!" ...then I realised that the first post was put up in March.

    I'm also in year 13, and have also had to do a couple of re-sits this year haha! But things have got better, I'm working more efficiently this year than last, plus there's the motivation of uni places to keep me going. But I definitely agree, any year 12s on here, don't think you can make up for it all in the A2 year, AS levels are so important, if not more important than A2 levels, because it's what universities base their offers largely on! Good luck to all

    Totally agree, last year I was just chilled out thinking they didn't really count, then it got to ucas time in October and I realised I was screwed! But yeah I've managed to sort myself out with January resits so back on track now thankfully glad you did the same
