The struggle to uni

Hey everyone
Not really sure if this is what I am supposed to do here but: I am 17 and in year 13 doing my A2 exams. I didn't do as well as I wanted at AS because I suck at revising regularly and at revising exam technique. So I am studying English Literature, Psychology and History, and really want to study history at Uni but need BBB which looks difficult right now. So this is *hopefully* how I will stay focused!

I have just finished about an hour 1/2 of psychology, just looking at PSY3 past papers and making plans for possible questions. Is there any other good strategies? I hope so. Also tested myself on a resource I made a few weeks ago on Frankenstein quotes hope I'll remember them.

Good luck!

Which methods are you using to revise for History? And what exam board are you studying for History?

I have so much coursework to do! English, History...That's what I will be doing this half term, as well as my EPQ work. Maybe I can fit in some other work-I don't know we'll see.

Whoops, make sure you quote me when you reply otherwise I don't receive a notification. :h:

Ah cool, I'm doing AQA History. Studying Life in Nazi Germany and Tsarist Russia as my AS. I'm currently covering the content from books I have. As I go along I complete past paper questions. I hope to cover all content by the end of this month so that in March I could just focus on exam practice till May! :u:

You study the same subjects as me :smile:

Which exam board are you with for English & Psychology? I'm with AQA for both. I also need 300 ucas points which is the BBB equivalent! Good Luck!

If you need any help on here feel free to PM me.

Ah that's cool. I had my coursework on Civil Rights in USA. What's the question for your coursework for Tsarist Russia? Is this the final deadline? How you feeling about it? If you need help with anything got to do with the content of your coursework, again, feel free to PM. :h:

Finished my EPQ for hand-in today. During the week I have done a practise history essay and have revised quotes for English; 'The Bloody Chamber' and 'Frankenstein'. I have also done some past paper questions for psychology, and am planning more so I can complete them. Today I am planning to make more resources on the student room for psychology from the beginning of the year and look over previous notes for history so I can start doing part A questions.
