When do most people start revision (A2s) ?

How do I revise for French :frown:

Learn lots of vocab for each topic area that you're covering this year. It helps if you learn them by using them i.e. writing a few sentences on a topic and using lots of key words, rather than just memorising lists...unless that works for you of course.
Make sure you understand and can use and recognise all grammar principles required for your course.
And practise the four main skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing as often as you can.
Are you doing AS or A2?

I thought that starting around Easter was a good time to start (provided I don't slack, of course) and would allow me plenty of time to revise all the content, practice with past papers etc. so I'm prepared for the exams.

I read this thread and the fact that most of you are starting to revise ridiculously early makes me feel like a failure.

Then again, for 2 of my subjects (Travel & Tourism and Leisure Studies) we don't even start learning the exam unit content until March. So that only leaves Sociology and GCSE Spanish as the subjects I'll start to properly revise at Easter.

Lol I'm doing 4 subjects (maths, further maths, economics and philosophy) and starting at Easter so don't worry :smile:

Eugh I feel exactly the same. Although I got decent AS grades (A's/B's) I'm basically resitting everything, with a total of 22-24 exams :frown:

Got so much going on at the moment, stressing me out

Omg that seems like so much stress for actually really decent grades... But if you are going to go for accounting and finance you really shouldn't be stressing yourself out by doing so many exams for medicine! And even if you do take a gap year then might as well do the retakes then, and not stress yourself out now?

I started today, takes me a few weeks to get into the full swing of things and I always start later and realise how much sooner I should have started.
