    So far not doing too bad, I've finished making all my notes and now I made a poster to help me in the morning. Besides that its looking promising

    Re: AS students: how far are you in your revision?
    C1 - pretty much revised all of the content, just need to do practice papers.
    C2 - bleugh, still need to properly practice most of it and do past papers.
    Biology and Chemistry unit 1 - covered them really well before christmas so am hoping it'll come back to me when I read over my notes!
    Biology unit 2 - just need to do past papers.
    Chemistry unit 2 - should finish covering the content today.
    Computing - loads of memorising to do...

    Do you think that if I spend the rest of the Easter holiday mastering the theory for everything, and doing maths past papers, that I'll have enough time to do all the practice papers for everything? I think I have around 4 weeks before my first exam once I go back to school...

    If you're doing further maths you're probably doing M1 at the moment, I wouldnt worry about quantum mechanics! its just M1 but easier
    Oh good, that's a relief! We did M1 at Christmas, so I guess I'd better go over my notes again to check I haven't forgotten it all!

    Not finished the course on any of my subjects (math, chemistry, biology and geography).
    But what we've done so far i've been revising as we go along.

    Started "Easter revision" today, breaking it in slowly going over a little bit of maths making a page on each section.
    Going to crack on properly tomorrow though - starting at 11 and finishing at around 6 (obviously with breaks spread out too).
    Tsk colouring is not an A-level course....

    Okay, so the panic has now set in. I am now going to attempt the impossible and cover both units of computing, pretty much from scratch, by Monday.

    I hate computing so, so much.
