Thanks,

My tips:

•

Make revision notes as you cover each topic in class. This saves time as your revision notes will already be completed when you come to revise later on. Also get a copy of the specification for each of your subjects to check you've made notes on everything you need to know (teachers sometimes miss out topics).

•

Getting your exam technique right is crucial! Using the right technique when answering the exam questions obviously increases your likelihood of gaining as many marks as possible.

•

Consider using a revision timetable. I structured my revision by day, rather than time. For example: revise topic a, b and c on Monday, revise topic d, e, f and g on Tuesday, and so on. I found this structure much easier to follow and stick to, than if I'd structured it by time, e.g. revise topic a from 11am to 1pm, topic b from 1.30pm to 3pm etc.

•

Take advantage of any homework help/revision help sessions your college might offer. They can prove invaluable if you're struggling with any aspect of the content, homework etc.

•

Finally, always ask for help if you need it!

I hope these help! Please don't be nervous about starting A Levels, they aren't as bad as you might imagine. You'll be fine, I promise :h:
