So the exams are closing in on us all :frown: Is everyone ready for them?
How are you preparing for them?
Are you stressed out and don't want to do no more?

Well discuss it all here! Because we can do this together this year we will all claim our "Top Grades" if you are aiming for an A let us get that! If you are aiming for a B let's do this bruh :biggrin: If you're doing A2's I expect those A*'s because we all have the ability to do this we just need to work hard and be determined!
And yes I'm talking to you :wink:

Here are a few tips that have helped me get from a U at the start of the year to now A's/B's: (AS-Level)

Colour Co-ordinating my notes this has really helped me as it makes it much easier to picture the notes in my head during a test or something :smile:

Making clear diagrams on a white board and sticking it in my bedroom!

Repeating the notes out LOUD so that everyone can hear it XD

Listening to music that motivates you and makes you want to do more, I know how difficult it can be sometimes to do any work but the day you feel like you can't do no more THAT DAY YOU WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

Acting like a pro because tbh who ain't a pro on TSR :wink:

My AS-levels:
- Further maths
- Maths
- Biology
- Physics

I'm doing my A2s this year, and pretty much agree with everything you have said except that work best in total silence. I revise in the kitchen too so that I am far away from distractions :lol: It also helps me to revise at a table rather than sat on my bed or on the floor :biggrin: I also recommend doing as many past paper questions as possible (I asked my school for their exampro password so I could do as many questions as possible)

At A2 I'm doing; Maths, Chem and Bio :smile:
I'm doing maths furthermaths, law and ICT
:smile:

My sister is doing AS and it seems so much harder having to do experimental data for it - at least in the ISAs you could get it over and done with before the exam
Haha yep! And boy did I waste that holiday (work wise :tongue: )

Haha yes I will!! Thank you :tongue: Good luck for you too!

Killua?

I'm currently studying A-level Biology, A-level Psychology and AS Global Development.

To be honest, I have no idea what global development is and my biology deadline for coursework is in a few days (lol).

I'm pretty last minute and only just started studying (not a good idea at all).

Despite the big fail, I am still aiming for those A's / A*'s.

Wish me luck...? 😅
