A Level Revision

Depends what time of year it is.
When I was studying for my A level maths I did a past paper or two a day and I managed to get a A in the end.
When it comes to exams, you'll know when you have done enough revision.
You need to do a lot more work for As Levels and A levels than GCSE level though!
You'll get the hang of it, just do as much as you feel you need to do.
Good luck with 6th form, its hard work but its one of the most amazing times of your life!

Hi there, I am studying for ASLevel Maths, I got an A at GCSE but however I did not initially decide to take up Mathematics but around mid January I had a sudden change of career plan and decided I needed Mathematics at Alevel! So I took a risk and dropped the subject I picked to do Maths.

I have been really committed since I made the choice of dropping my other subject and taking it up. I have been doing 1.5/2hours a night consistently since January time!

I am also self teaching. I am scoring low Bs in all the past papers currently. Is this good or bad? It's very hard for me to judge as I am not from a Maths class... around this time what were you getting in pastpapers? thanks (wow that was very long haha, I waffle a lot )

You should try to aim for 60/75 or above btw which exam board are you doing? What applied maths you doing?

Thanks dude, I think I should be able to hit that by the end of easter holidays

I'm taking maths, biology and chemistry A2 and I have 7 exams in the summer so I'm struggling to fit it all in so I made a realistic timetable where I do 2 hours per resit (i have five) per week and 3 hours per final exam per week - over easter and study leave I will double this, and then starting 6 weeks before the exam I will do 2 past papers pet week per exam, as well as my set aside revision - if you want me to email you my timetable I'm more than happy - just pm me, urm I think that's it, hope it made sense :-)

I'm in year 12 too, doing biology, chemistry, physics and maths, with 6 exams this summer

I haven't started revising yet, but I'm a procrastinator so I reckon now is a good time to start. I would suggest that you print off all the specifications/ go over the work you have done so far and write down a list of everything you aren't sure about. See all your teachers about it before the easter holidays then spend some of the holiday going over it.

Including homework ( which in my eyes is exam prep anyway) I would say 2 hours per night if you have a good memory , 3 if you don't. Have a night off one day a week, mine is Friday :-) . At weekends step it up to maybe 3-4 hours each day. Close to the exam (1 -2 weeks before) just focus on fine tuning exam technique with past papers, mark schemes, and examiners reports.

Don't overdo it and burn out. Not all of us are 100% motivated all the time and spending too long cooped up will definitely make you lose it fast ( learned this the hard way ) Mix work with relaxation. Get plenty of sleep. Exams are important but not worth risking your health over.

Yeh thanks brilliant advice i got all the specifications for all my exams and yeh i have almost finished my maths module (couple of exercises left for C2 and S1) so i can start past papers by easter holidays

do you just do all the questions in the book? Or just the review ones?
