Why do people get so hooked up on when you start revising?It may have been a bit like that at GCSE but at A-Level its more like a bit here and there not really got a revision timetable and I'm not sure whether you could say I have started or not.
I revised for about 3 and half hours on the first Monday in this half term holiday,4 hours on the secondary Monday of this half term holiday,1 hour yesterday and have attended a 3 hour revision session for Geography(Compulsory),have done 6 hours of revision sessions for Physics(Optional) and about 2 hours revision sessions for Maths(my Physics lecturer decided that it might be worthwhile doing Maths after a lot of Physics).Out of the time revising on my own I completed 2 past papers for Physics, 1 and a bit for Maths,revised Rivers and Coasts from CGP textbook completing the questions in my head for each section and looking at my notes for topics that don't seem there.
I do Maths,Further Maths,Geography and Physics.The week before I broke up I pretty much spent a lot of Friday night/ most of Saturday revising Mechanics 2 for further maths completing 2 papers.I have often revised for upcoming Geography in class topics looking at my notes and have done most of my revision for Geography across the year, revising just before i got to College, during dinner time etc a lot of the time I used this time to do my homework though.I have already completed all the Physics Unit past papers in my own time coming into College early one day and just doing loads in a row at home.I have done all my homework on time in good detail and have attended all lessons bar a 2 hour maths one, when I had to go to gets an echocardigram.
I probably could have got an A in all 3 of Physics,Maths and Further Maths without revising but I know that I need to revise to maximise marks because Cambridge want good UMS.However, Geography has loads of content and I don't understand how anyone could get an A in that without revising hard.In subjects that require a lot of skill like sciences you generally can get away with less or no revision and will be less likely to do well if you struggle with the subject but try hard and the opposite is true for essay subjects.
