Aaaa at as level so ask me questions if you need help with organising and motivation

Well done .

Our college insisted that we should do 5 hours per subject per week additional learning, as well as reading one "high quality" newspaper per week.

Did you do either of these things to help attain your top grades?

I do English Lit and History as well! How did you manage to stay motivated for such subjective exams?

5 hours is absolutely crazy. My college used to say to us to do 16 hours per week extra reading or w/e. Personally I'd say I did about 1 hour max which included hwks. There's no necessity for you to do that much work. The only reason I would be inclined to do extra work is if I didn't understand something I went through in the lesson. I revised about 3 weeks before exams switching through for 5 different exams (obviously more for you guys this year and for me this year) and I came out with AAAB in Maths, Chem, Bio and History.

Good luck with your studies.

Any tips for history coursework and paper?

Seeing the A's, going to a good uni, and the fear of failing! ))

WHAT MOTIVATES YOU?

Past failures (11+)
after that I got 8a* gcse just so I didn't repeat my mistake

What GCSE grades did you get for the A Level subjects you take now? And do you think that over revising is a hindrance?

Congratulations on your results

I also got all As in my AS exams. About a month before exams, I drew up a revision timetable for every single day in the run up to exams, and setting targets for what I wanted to revise. Closer to the exams, loads of past papers and just making sure I fully understand everything I've learnt throughout the year.

It's possible to do extremely well if you just focus! Review your work at the end of the week and make sure it's all clear to you and that you understand it. Make some concise notes. Never too early to revise

Not hijacking the thread but if anyone has any questions about Maths, Further Maths, History and Economics at AS I'm happy to answer. I got AAAA at AS after 2B 5C at GCSE its possible

OK, in my opinion, 5 hours per subject per week is way too much. You haven't learn enough to do 5 hours in that week. Teachers say that to make you work, but believe me that's way too much. According to this newspaper, it should be helpful because I did the same in english!

So yes, read a newspaper, what subjects do you do?
In terms of half term revision, what I did last year was I organised all my folders, did the homework set, and made sure I was up to date with everything. Then I went over what I learn, a subject per day.

I passed my AS year because I was organised, you don't believe how important that is. 2 months away from exams, I opened my books and folders and it was a breeze, kinda :P

And when revising after college, I suggest 2 hours a day, mainly doing recaps. Keep your energy for when you really need it.
