When to start revising for A level?

I’m about to start year 12 so I wanted to ask, when did you start revising for a levels?
Thanks 🙂

Easter in year 12 (I sat ASs), and started doing a light amount from February half-term in year 13 - you don't need to revise right from the start of sixth form, and you also don't need to do hours and hours everyday! (ended up with all A*s) x

What subjects did you take and do you have any revision advice?

Hi well done!! What subject did you do and what are you doing now?

Maths, Further Maths, Physics at A level, plus Additional Further Maths, Chemistry and German at AS. I know it's not revolutionary advice, but for the sciences and maths, working through past papers and marking the questions as you go is absolutely brilliant (even if you're taking the new spec, I used the old spec papers and just ignored the questions that were no longer relevant) and for languages quizlet is really good for learning vocab

Now?! I’m not sure about that... 😂

Thank you! I did maths, further maths and physics, and I'm currently doing a theoretical physics degree

I’m going into year 13 and I am studying chemistry, biology and maths . When would you say I start revising ?

Thanks for your advice. What would you say the hardest thing about starting a level was?

What uni are you at now?

When did you start in year 12, and did that work for you? If it did then I'd say do the same again, but if it felt a bit tight for time you might want to start earlier. I started at Easter in year 12 but found it pretty stressful, so to make it nicer for myself in year 13 I started working through past papers from February half term and that worked well for me



I think the hardest thing for me was the fact my sixth form was a lot bigger than the lower school, so everything was just weird and new! There was a step up in workload, but I don't think I found it that noticeable because we were eased in - I know it's easy to worry but I'm sure you'll be okay x



Sorry, I don't want to say on TSR - but non-oxbridge top 10


I don't want to hijack this thread, so I'm going to go now, but you're always welcome to message me! But there will be people who've sat A levels more recently than me who can give better advice

Make sure you keep notes organised right from the start and get and complete all homeworks/tests. Started revising around start of April for AS and a little earlier for A2s, got 2 A*s and an A.

That’s for the advice 🙂
I might sound stupid for asking but what is the difference between AS and A2?
