Part-time studying and willpower!
Gosh, I'm studying part-time for an A-level in biology through the NEC and although the work is fascinating, I am finding it so difficult to find time to study! I know that a lot of you have probably done or are doing something similar while trying to hold down a full time job and other responsibilities, so how do you manage it?
I have found studying extremely difficult. I only work part time, but this year I did A2 Chemistry & Biology and AS Maths & Psychology. I found that I neglected a lot of things (e.g. housework) and skipped assignments.
I take it that you are home learning? I suppose you just have to allocate a time to sit down and do it for at least a couple of hours a week. I did a GCSE at home last year, but I just did the coursework and the exam and didn't bother with any assignments. You can't really do that with A- level though.
I would suggest getting a really good revision guide for the specification that you are doing. And choose 1 night a week to be dedicated to your course, and you should get through it.

Thanks for the advice. I guess you just have to be really strict and practically chain yourself to your desk when it comes to home learning!
^^^agree. timetable really works as it helped me a lot.
Sorry to drift off topic but how are you finding NEC? I looked at it myself as it seems the only way to get an AS in Physics or Maths near me.
I was wondering about seeing how much time is taken up with my AS Psychology and Sociology next year (I work full time :\) and then maybe applying for another AS a little later with NEC? What do you think?
