"wrote learning"


I think you mean rote learning. (Sorry -I feel sure I ought to use some cheery emoticon to make this sound less picky, but I am just too old for them; my children would ostracise me.)

About 4 weeks before the easter holidays.Got bbbc at AS.Got AAB at A2.It really depends on how you work best. A lot of my friends preferred " wrote rote learning" I think where they just kept writing it out. I preferred to read through things repeatedly until it was drilling in. What subjects are you taking? :smile:

Edit: Spelling


Maths, Further Maths, Eco :smile:

When did you start revising and what grades did you get? :smile:





So do notes now then before easter condense them then go over and papers in easter?


Honestly depends on what you think will work best for you - but yes, I will write up notes for all my subjects in the weeks prior to the easter holidays, and then I will subseuqently do past papers. However I think it may be better for you to develop your own revision style, as It should be easier for you to remain comitted to it.

1 exam...

gotta love being a fresher :smile:

Though at AS I had 11, and also had 3 exams in one day at AS... 2 back to back and then like an hour break in between.
I had 13 last summer.

It's totally doable.

Get a good diet in from weeks before, get a good breakfast in, do not leave anything until last minute, be relaxed and ,most importantly, don't drink Red Bull.

Try getting a natural interest in your subject.

I used to do that with extended reading/learning - I used to watch documentaries, read blogs on the given topic; it's a change from textbooks.

I only took Maths, Chemistry and Biology at A level. For maths I just did questions from the book and saved past papers about 4 weeks before the exam, I imagine you can do the same for further maths.

Economics I think would just read and revise from books.
