(This was copied from my response to a yr12 alevel question but the same thing applies!)
Number 1 advice:
WORK FROM THE START
-Any work is better than no work
-Do more flash cards than highlighting and re-reading
-Search and try the blurting technique and also pomodoro
-Watch Ali Abadan, unjaded jade and Ibz on YouTube (their study videos will change your life)
-Review all you work from the week at the end of the week and make notes then so you don’t have to make all your notes in one go (home notes are different to school notes)
-I know I said work (in the first point) but more in the sense of BEING CONSISTENT rather than hard, don’t work 6-8 or crazy hours a day otherwise you will burn out and that’s the worst thing
-Find a way to chill and still learn at the same time, I have some maths and physics books that cover the syllabus but are manga so its fun to read, lmk i can give you the names
-Also have study YouTube videos like exam solutions on ALL THE TIME (whenever you can) , like if your catching the bus or doing the laundry, if you can listen to something in the background, DO IT
-Find out what your teacher is teaching next lesson and watch videos and read it in the textbook, THIS WILL MAKE YOU LIFE SO EASY, cause then lessons are basically revision and any gaps you have, will be filled in lesson
-Please make sure to pay attention in class! Yes, sometimes its boring, but that’s valuable teaching and you can’t get that time back even if its online, if you pay attention and others don’t, it means you have a headstart!
-While its still early for you, try out different studying techniques for mini tests and figure out which few work best for you, but you want to pick methods that don’t make you want to fall asleep
A-levels aren’t insanely difficult, or even difficult at all if you work a little all the time from the start, its only hard when you leave 2 years worth of work to the last 6 weeks!
Most importantly,
DO
NOT
STRESS!
Stress will make you feel worse and depressed, and you have loads of time until your final exams, just follow advice, be consistent and there is no reason why you wont smash it
I probably have a few more tips but lmk if this helped!
