I'm aiming for A*A*A* to make up for my rather mediocre to poor BCD grades that I currently hold in the subjects in question. They are Biology, Chemistry and Further Mathematics respectively.
While A*A*A* would be nice, I need only A*A*A to meet my offer for Cambridge so if time-management continues to be an issue, I will concentrate on Further Maths and Chemistry. I'm concentrating on those for my A*s because I'd need 94% in Bio to get an A* as I only have a B in the A2 CW. I need only get a B in either of the exams to get an A over all in Bio so for this reason it's of a lower priority. But I will try my best with them all .
April Easter break is crazy past paper season so I will be trying to definitely be past paper then by the latest.

I'll edit in my Study Plan. And will do a weekly target check.

The revision must start now parties are all cancelled

I don't want to offend or anything because a Cambridge offer is absolutely amazing but how did you get one with BCD AS?
My method of revision for Biology and Chemistry is read and do in chapter questions and end of chapter exam questions. I've also printed out old spec questions for each topic for awhile. Further Maths will bear more thought but for now I'm doing the harder questions of each in chapter exercise then most of the mixed exercise. I will try to find a way to incorporate Bockston and Chandler questions and @TeeEm questions.
Week 1 Chemistry Module 5 Rates (topics .1-.5) in chapters + 8 old spec questions Equilibrium (topics .6-.7) in chapters + 4 old spec questions Acid and bases (topics .8-.15) in chapters + 8 old spec questions
Biology Populations in chapters + 8 old spec questions ATP, Photosynthesis in chapters + 8 old spec questions Respiration in chapters + 8 old spec questions
Further Mathematics Start and complete the 60 question review exercise in M2 book on Projectiles, Centres of masses and Work energy Power Complete Matrices chapter in Fp3 and make a start on Vector chapter getting to the middle exercise, if possible.
My week will be Wed-Tue I think. I'm starting late this week - obviously. I may do my plan up to week 4 in the OP but I cba rn and there are more important things to do .
Unfortunately no . As much as I despise the place, I have to go. The endorphins will help and it will positively help my body confidence and self-esteem.
Further Mathematics (a pretty balanced profile. No 3 or higher level applied unit. I considered M3 because I despise both D1 and S2 but it doesn't seem wise) FP2 FP3 S2 M2 D1
Well I had ABCCD . I did A level maths in years 11 and 12 . ASs in Chemistry, Biology and Music in year 12 which were As. A2s in those as well as a full A level in FM in year 13. Year 13 was a disaster.

The Natural Sciences Tripos Biological though
Which one of those are retakes? Personally, unless you are a seriously quick writer I would be inclined to avoid D1 at all costs. It's possible to do really well in S2 as it's a few key concepts that you can practice. In terms of Fp2 and Fp3, the content isn't too great but they can really trip up people. Have you considered doing S3 as opposed to doing D1?

Can't help with the other two
All of them . They were the modules I took in '14 plus Fp1 which I have 94 in. I was originally meant to be self studying D1, M2 and S2 as the applied class clashed with music and I refused to drop anything. I didn't and kind of did this cram attempt in the weeks/days before hand to varying degrees of failure.
Spoiler
That's what you get for cramming. I think I tried reading D1 the day off or day before. Anyway, new beginnings! Fp2 surprised me. I did no papers outside of class but I had gotten an A* scrape in the mock before so thought that making it to the occasional pure math class was paying off. Clearly not. I remember predicting 68/75 or so in the real exam so was a shocker. Fp3 was about right. I missed a lot of lessons but most of it made sense and wasn't conceptually difficult.
S2 will require practice, yes! I've not considered S3, no. I've already made my entries but I'll look at the spec description this weekend. @Robbie242 has said it's easy but I don't trust those that do STEP.
