Revising already?

Scroll to see replies

yeah i tried this last year, and no it didnt last. I also told myself in january that i was going to have a month rest and start revising for summer in febuary/march time. This didnt happen either and i ended up cramming as per usual.

trust, OP, it wont last!

Take some time off, you've just finished your AS exams.

Besides, you won't be sitting A2 exams until January.

Ick.. I've only just started working for my impending A2 exam (it's in about ten days) - there's no way I would have done work a whole year in advance. :frown:

I don't think it would help, for one - I'm fairly sure I would have forgotten the work by now, if I'd tried to do that. :s-smilie:

I tend to opt for the 'work hard, play hard' lifestyle.

This is pretty much the play hard part. Chill out enjoy the summer, come September ease yourself back in

Seems a little over the top to be starting now to say the least

Gosh, i dont do nothing till 2 weeks before the exam, i dont pay much attention in class and am certainly never eager to get on with work. I work very hard 2 weeks before exams and manage to get As

school is silly, it takes them 2 months to teach what it takes a week to learn

I said that I'd have a look. By all means flick through the easy revision guides and have a look, but don't try and learn it all!!! That's just madness. I didn't do this, and I still have no intention on starting next years uni work until september! I'm currently learning all of THIS years stuff which I've now forgotten!

Ah, I can relate to that. Just 4 exams left for me...then a nice long break.

I wouldn't actually try to learn stuff early. I might go through a few things, look stuff over, just to see what's coming up, but never actually 'revise' it.

Well no... I'm back at school, have started my A2s, and am finding it hard enough to keep up with regular homework and have a life :sadnod:

I don't think I could manage extra revision. But if you can, then good on you :smile:

Seriously, OP, I think that so long as you're a good student generally, it really isn't necessary to do so much extra work. I mean, there's nothing wrong with doing so, it just seems to be making yourself do work you don't need to.

I read my history textbooks in the week before I started back after the summer holidays but it really didn't help at all. *shrugs*

I've just finished my AS exams and have already started revising for my A2s. Has anyone else started to do the same?

you've seriously got to be joking.... the whole fun of exams is the 2 week b4 cram :P

So you haven't actually been REvising for your A2's just 'vising the A2 content so you have a bit of a head start!

Because I am going to lie on a student forum for what? I was simply wondering if anyone had started to research/revise for their A2 courses, which in my opinion is quite a sensible thing to do.

It sounds sensible, however you'll just burn out.

I ended up revising (for 6 A2 exams) since mid March IIRC. I burnt out a few weeks ago (i.e. during my exams).

Too much work can be a really, really bad thing :smile:

Take a break, have some sleep!

In theory it sounds great. In practise, it'd be impossible.

Yeah take a break.
Having said that learning C3 as early as possible was seriously helpful. It's not an entirely rediculous idea, but exams aren't everything!
