I remember thinking this throughout the whole of the Christmas holidays last year but in the end I managed to get As in all of my exams. Just keep going and do a solid amount of revision over the holiday. Get yourself into a really good routine of working, not only will it benefit you in the short term with your Jan exams but in the long term too. I know it's been said a lot on here but A2 is harder than AS.

I'm not prepared at all & I've failed every class test :/ .. I hope to be able to cover everything before Jan

Just wait till uni. You will literally be up the entire night to go over a bloody essay making sure that you referenced it correctly to avoid plagiarism. I just keep eating and eating :frown:.

Basically life keeps getting harder and harder no mercy :/ .. I'm glad I'm not the only eater & sleep deprived person :')

I study for a degree, whilst having a full time job as a Quantity Surveyor managing circa £100m of sites. I tell you now, you are in for a real shock if you are struggling at A-Level.

Here yes .. As is not necessary cz both ways I will have to do foundation year but if I do A2 then I don't have to do foundation .. I'd rather do foundation than A2

Class tests aren't necessarily an indicator of how well you will do in the actual. Use them to see where you went wrong and how you can improve or speak to your teachers. If you start revising now and use the holidays sensibly, you should be able to cover everything. Especially if you condense everything down so it's easier to understand. I'm not sure what subjects you do but for mine, I found practicing exam technique helped massively so in the exam, not only did I know the information but I also knew exactly how to answer the question. Good luck, I'm sure everything will be fine in the end :smile:

One tip for A/AS Level, and within work in general, focus on one thing at a time. No other distractions whatsoever - just one thing at a time. Dedicate one day of revision to one subject, then split it into its component parts and list them in priority order. Then learn each one by one.

Sticking to one thing at a time is key to revision.

Thanks :'( .. I'm gonna jump into uni & do foundation A2 is not a must this I won't watch myself suffer through A2 I heard it's sooooooo unbelievably pointlessly hard o.O


Not a problem. :smile: Oh I see, that's a good idea! Oh trust me its all true, I'm doing A2 right now :sadnod: makes me wish I stayed in America so I'd only have to do my SATs...A levels are just so annoying man! I swear it, apparently its easier to get a degree although the 3rd year is particularly hard :/ Ah well, you'll be fine :penguinhug: Just work hard, revise and do your very best :h:
