Let's look at your average Saturday time window: wake up at 6:30 AM, go to sleep at 1:30 AM. By my counting, that's 19 hours of time. To only use 8 hours out of that for revision is just asking to fail your A Levels. Up your weekend revision by two hours every week until you reach 38 hours of revision per weekend, using the remaining 10 hours to sleep. Don't bother eating food, meet your nutritional needs through liquids (eg. protein shakes) that you can consume while revising.

Weekdays are another matter; you need to be more creative. Don't be idle for a moment. In the car? Start revising. In the toilet? Start revising? In a lesson? Start revising. In fact, never stop revising. Everything you do should be revision in one form or another, otherwise you have no hope.

Good luck.


And revision whilst you sleep
How could you forget tssk

I got 4 As, with an overall average of ~90% UMS.

I revised pretty hard but I could have still worked harder than I did.

I didn't even do that.

From ~mid-March, I had to learn almost everything for the first time and also revise it.

Don't worry, from the sounds of it you will get an offer. Looking on the student room about other people's experiences actually made me more stressed about whether I would get an offer.

Mine was pretty laid back and there were moments of laughter, but we weren't in continuous laughter the whole way through the interview :') I got an offer yesterday, which was 13 days after my interview :smile: I hope you get an offer too!

Just remember that almost 70% of people get offers after their interview at Imperial!
