Am I at risk of getting disappointing AS Level grades?

I did 7 hours + in May and June of AS cause I was a lazy **** and had to relearn everything.


Yeah I did the same at around April. Right now though, doing hundreds of hours of revision is entirely unnecessary, which is what I was getting at.
How about A-level revision?Anyone?

Yeah, I'm playing it safe though and doing about an hour and a half of extra every night

I got AAAA at AS though with UMS scores of 99%,97%,86% and 83% and I only really revised a couple of weeks before the exams, cramming is the most effective revision method because how you supposed to remember what you revise now for exams in May/June?So cram all your revision a couple of weeks before and you should be able to remember most of it.A lot the modules don't really need revision its just best to to be on the safe side and to get the highest possible UMS.


It depends on what you mean by the term revision.

Not sure if you mean going over what you've done, or if you mean you had done no studying throughout the year up until a few weeks before the exam.

When I say revision, I mean looking back over content.

I obviously learnt stuff in class.

Didn't study though over year? Idk

So you're unsure if you didn't study throughout the year or have I misunderstood?

I'm pretty sure if you did just 4 AS instead of the extra stuff you would've done better than me, it might depend on the school also since I never listen in class (terrible school) so yeah
Just work hard from now on. You'll be fine.
