•
Don't cram the night before the exam
•
Make your own notes, or at least alter those made by others to suit your learning style
•
Go over your notes at least twice in full, the first time to learn the stuff, the second to re-learn the bits you've forgotten or didn't understand first time round
•
Don't listen to the people who try to deter you from applying to good unis/courses - motivation is key here
•
Try splitting your day into multiple study sessions of a couple of hours with leisure/rest in between
•
Don't expect your teacher to be 100% perfect when teaching - read around the subject, check online note guides (like Gradesaver or Sparknotes)
•
Discuss the stuff you're interested in with a friend - discussing an interesting topic forces you to improve your knowledge of it and ability to think critically around it
•
Read the most recent examiner's report for each subject, and try to get your hands on grade A* exemplar scripts. Jot down what the candidate is doing right and try to emulate it in your next pieces of work
