The A-level grind

Hello :smile: I currently have an offer to study Veterinary Medicine and since then I have started to consistently study, and I figured making a thread like this where I can document it would motivate me even more. I currently take Biology, Chemistry and Geography. My attainment is good but I am aiming for the best

My academic background:
GCSEs:
Biology - 8
Geography - 8
English lit - 8
English lang - 7
Psychology - 7
Spanish - 7
RE - 7
Maths - 7
Physics - 7
Chemistry - 7

Predicted grades:
Biology - A
Chemistry - A
Geography - A*

February mocks:
Biology - A
Chemistry - A
Geography - A*

My aim: A*A*A* (Very high I know, but I figured that if I aim for all A*s then get all As that would still be a good outcome.)

Aims for study: 3-4 hours minimum on weekdays
Library 4-5 days per week
Most of my revision should be exam questions (unless I am covering content I am unsure of)
