Please help me with how to revise for AS :)

Hey there,

I am sure you would have read loads of similar post to this. But I was wondering how could I revise for my AS Subjects.

Firstly, Maths and Further Maths. I am not being a show off but I was a single student who did C1 early and got full UMS (in Year 11). Unfortunately, due to my school changing exam boards after the exam I would have to retake. At home I did D1 (still doing), C2. I tried FP1 but it was hard so I left it. Now in school in Maths we do C1 (the teacher gave me permission to do FP1 instead) and FM FP1 and D1. How could I revise for those modules?

Secondly, Physics AQA. Physics seems to me much harder than Maths. Are there any good revision/learing tools? How do I need to prepare. Basically I have two teacher, who will teach Unit 1 50% each. After we finish Unit 1 we will move onto Unit 2. I am fearing that during when we learn Unit 2, I will forget Unit 1 stuff.

Thirdly, German. I am a German native but still need work as I have forgotten some German.

So how much hours/quantity should I do each day?

P.S. I know this is stupid, but what would happen if you get ill on the exam period time? Considering there are no January Exams? (AQA, OCR MEI) Just a bit scared that this could happen :/

My advice for Physics and Maths would be to do past exam papers, and find the areas you lose marks in. Then, find questions from a text book or from your teachers relating to those specific topics, and try them after doing some reading up on them.
Eventually, practice will make perfect! Don't forget about the topics you found easy though, try to throw in a few random topic questions too, to keep you on your toes! :smile:

If you run out of questions, start from the beginning of your collection again! This will help you learn to easily interpret what exactly the questions are asking for, and if your strengths and weaknesses have changed.

Good Luck, and good job on C1!
