Is anyon else revising in the summer holidays?

Ok, I know this is really sad, but I've started doing an hour a day of each of my three A2 subjects... I can't fall behind because I need AAA prediction so desperately, and as my AS results are uncertain, I'm thinking of plan B- to try and convince my teachers that I can achieve AAA!

I don't really know the purpose of this thread, I'm just trying to make myself feel better about results day. It's not working

I'm doing the same as you, only I'm a GCSE student. I've started to get ahead on my AS because I don't know how strong my performance was at GCSE. I'm really anxious about results day ( I always expect the worst case scenario). So I figured that I need a strong set of A-levels, especially because I would like to study physics at either Cambridge or Warwick University in the future. Good luck with results day.

Ah, I'm Edexcel :P We have separate books for everything. I was wondering because I'm having trouble finding the books I need.

I remember worrying so much about my GCSE results last year, it's horrible isn't it? You always do much better than anticipated though, trust me! I researched stuff outside of the a level spec and it really helped me understand the subjects better. Good luck with your results, the wait is almost over now

Exactly, have a good break now. I'm sure everyone here has done well. I've finished my A levels now so I'm now nervously waiting for results day to see if I'm going to uni.

It really is I just hope I meet my predicted grades because they were quite decent. I can't even imagine what results day is going to be like. :/

Thanks, you too.
Same, A Levels over and done with 😎 which makes results day 1000x more stressful

Haha, no. Tried it last year when going into AS and it was basically no use. You'll have forgotten what you learnt by the time it comes to actually learning it in class. All my teachers said not to bother, they've seen it done every year and it makes absolutely no difference. Apparently the people who've learnt stuff early actually tend to focus less in lessons because they think "Oh, I know this" and subsequently don't grasp the concepts that are being taught. So this year I'm just going to have a chilled, relaxed summer. I also have the UKCAT to prepare for so I couldn't even if I wanted to xD

Instead of learning A2 course material, why not try going beyond the syllabus and learning stuff you know you won't be learning next year? Coursera do a lot of university level courses, those are good for expanding your knowledge. Read a couple of books around the subjects you're applying for? Or why not pick up a new language? I've picked up French again
I mean guys, it's summer. You have a break from the rigidity of the AS and A2 courses yet you want to spend it learning A2 stuff? Doesn't make much sense to me, but whatever floats your boat

but that was for AS though you probably had 0 idea what you were up against...plus A2 has more content and unfourtanetly all of my teachers have said we have tests when we come back so i have 0 choice...

Much more so than last year, agreed. Good luck with results and after are you going to uni this year? I'm so scared haha

Haha thank you! Good luck to you too
Nah, I'm actually taking a gap year to work and stuff, how about you? Don't be scared, I'm sure you did well

Good luck for your A2 results! Tbh, it is perhaps a bit futile to revise over summer, as I just spend the whole time worrying about AS results

For me, its Bristol, Bath, Aberdeen and probably Warwick.
