It took a while (well actually it took AAAGES), but I've organised them all into the first post.
I'll be adding in pg3 when we reach pg4 :smile: (5 replies left)

When you look at past papers, do any of you see benefit in repeating the same papers?

Yes and no, when I did A Levels I found that repeating papers over a period of time was helpful. However, if I did it straight away then I couldn't see the benefit tbh
A level exams sat in 2017 will have no past papers to refer to, and they will be harder.

Ok thanks. I'll leave them a couple of weeks and then revisit them. The course I'm doing isn't a level but is similar. They changed the structure last year, so there are only two sets of past papers in the right format. I'll probably have forgotten them all in a couple of weeks anyway! :biggrin:

How many past papers do you have for your particular qualification? :h:
Music - Start learning the pieces that you will have to answer questions on earlier than later, make flash cards with the different aspects of each piece (melody/tonality/structure etc.) and test yourself and your fellow music students. They also help with your essay writing!
Any tips for Economics?

wonder how many people have found that advice useful
the one about failing at life
i think as long as you have a goal and you envision it, there is nothing that can get in your way. You can acheive it no matter how long it takes, If you have a dream dont doubt it and go for it

My sixth form sujests doing 4 hours of homestudy per subject, per week.
History is one of the hardest A levels you can take and I do stand by this quote, however, read your books (and I mean read them WELL) and practicing writing essay as much as possible!
About which English exam were you taliking?. Literature or Language or their mix
Tip - Do not compare your grades with other people in your class it's easily done and it will put you down if your friends have done better, just concentrate on your own progress :smile:
