AS students: how far are you in your revision?

Scroll to see replies

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... :frown:

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...

computing is a killer indeed are you doing comp1 ? or are you resitting comp2 aswell? any advice on comp2 and comp1 my revision with computing isnt that prestige :colondollar:

I'm on OCR... the crappiest exam board in the world for computing. And we haven't had a teacher all year, so my computing skills are pretty awful. Thankfully unit 1 is just theory, and unit 2 is just tracing the flow of data through algorithms and stuff. Sorry!

Hi, i'd just like abit of friendly advice.
I've been doing about 4 hours a day give or take and feel terrible.
Maths: i've covered C1 and abit of C2 but S1 i haven't started and i've had a terrible teacher. In my Mock i got A's for C1 and C2 but that was because i self taught it and i feel like i've forgotten the whole of C2! did anyone else find that?
Economics: does anyone have an effective way to revise for this subject? i am always getting confused with all the content as it all seems the same (Supply and Demand). I haven't started revision or past papers, just abit of reading here or there!
Chemistry: I've basically finished all of it, which is a good feeling.
FM: I've focused too much on it! really neglected all my other subjects. But i feel ready for the exam.
What should i do now and how should i tackle the next month as i really want atleast 3A's and a B?

I've hardly done any over the holidays :frown:

I'm doing Maths, Further Maths, Physics and French, so there isn't a whole lot to revise, but I should have done way more than I have. I think I'm currently at a level where I can get all A's but I need to get close to 100% in Maths and Further Maths and at least 90% in Physics, which I definitely am not going to do at this rate

I am also ****ting myself for french oral on 1st may because I haven't prepared anything :frown:

Just wondering because I saw your other thread and wanted to know how you are getting on! You can probably blast through all those units; they are not as bad as you think once you start getting through the textbook and past papers. Getting started is harder than doing the actual work. :wink:

Are you on AQA?

Oh ok

I'm on Edexcel for Maths.

I'm on Edexcel, and I've covered about 3/4 of S1, all of C1 although forgot most of it as that was finished in November last year, and with C2 I haven't started any work at home although I can remember bits from doing it at school. I don't find Maths particularly difficult, however, it's the sheer fact that I have to self-teach Biology unit 2 and Economics unit 2 myself and have only 4 weeks remaining until my first exam (I haven't even started covering Unit 1's yet for Bio & Econ).

As for Maths and Psychology I'm not too worried as I'll finish both of them by this week, it's just Economics and Biology which I will most likely have to neglect to get a minimum of AABB or even AABD.

It's my fault for not starting any form of revision/work yet I guess.

I started doing exam questions this week. I was meant to have done twenty eight by the end of the week, but it's Sunday now and I've only done four :frown:

Can anyone impart any wisdom or motivational quotes to get me working more? :tongue:

Woah, everyone's done so much revision. I've literally just written out my Chemistry notes (not learnt them yet) and I've covered three topics in Maths. No Physics, No Economics...!

Hoping for a very productive next two days :smile:

I've just realised the sheer amount of revision I have to do in the next four weeks. Will have to work flat out.

How long should I reserve for C2 past papers so that I end up getting 95%+ consistently? It only took me a week to get to this stage for C1, but I expect C2 papers to be much harder.

For economics, I go through the textbook and make notes- that way you know you have covered pretty much everything and understand (mostly) all the concepts...then i do lots of past papers and read over my notes now and then. It seemed to have worked fine in january- hopefully it'll work again in the summer. :smile:

I am really worried about the one subject I didn't think would bring me any trouble ..
I am doing OCR sciences and edexcel maths

Bio, Chem and Maths - covered units 1 and 2 but still need to review 3/4 of notes and do loads of past papers..

AQA PSYCHOLOGY - Got a C in my Jan exams and now trying to do really good. BUT I have no revision strategy/ exam techniques and not sure if I can even finish the book on time :s-smilie:
