Am I too late for A*AA?
I’ve created flashcards on ANKII for biology and chemistry A level and covered 3/4 of the content.
Maths is easy for me and I’m not concerned as much I just need to do practice questions.
I’m doing AQA A levels.
But I’m worried I don’t have enough time to get these grades. A lot of my friends who got 8s in GCSEs did awful in their A levels. I’m willing to put all my time and effort in. Is 1 month enough ?
I will:
- Do flashcards —> CGP workbook questions—> Hodder questions—-> CGP textbook questions—-> PAMT for sciences = 3 weeks
Then 1 week of past papers (3 x 2 papers per subject a day)
Maths= questions and then past papers
Seem like a good plan?
Oh yeah and cram like hell before exams.

I didn't do those subjects at A-Levels but I can tell you, that you are definitely doing more than most people and seems like you are also prepared to do more. In my view, that seems like a gr8 plan. Do you have a timetable? If not, I suggest you make one. I remember I used to revise from 9am to 8pm throughout April, May and June for my Alevels. Of course, I had breaks and whatnot, but my revision periods were precise.
Flashcards are amazing to memorise stuff as well as past papers and textbook questions. I did Economics, which had bit maths, but one thing that helped me sooo much was watching live streams of economic teachers and the important subject topics. Maybe you can find one relating to your subjects as well? I'm pretty sure there are loads who go through practice questions as well.
Anyway, I wish you the best and good luck for your A-Levels!

Thank you so much I just need that reassurance I guess…
I’m a private student and I worry “the wait “ after I do the exams. Also I hate it when I procrastinate!
From tomorrow I will be strict with my routine.
Speaking of which @mqb2766 and @Muttley79 you do sciences what do you guys think to maximise my chances?
Any advice

You are welcome.
That website has Maths questions as well - sorted by board.

Just use the free stuff. When you finish a paper make sure you target the topics you got about half marks for - by practising those you improve a lot. The topics you get few marks on, you need to learn again.

For the sciences look carefully at the past paper mark schemes. This will help you to answer questions in a way to maximise your marks.
Stay motivated as each session of revision can increase your final marks - even if you do a small amount it will help.
List the topics that you dread seeing on the exam paper and revise these first. Then you can look at these topics again nearer the exams. This 'spaced revision' will help you remember the material.
Another useful thing to do is to explain topics to someone else without looking at notes eg completely describing an experiment. This will help you to identify areas that you can't quite remember in enough detail so you can prioritise topics for your next revision session.
Don't worry about grades or grade boundaries - just focus on learning the content and practice answering exam questions. Good luck.

From my experience (achieved A* in AQA Bio and A in AQA chem A level 2022), start past papers as soon as possible, that’s how you can skyrocket your grade in such a short period of time, don’t bother with numerous amounts of notes. I started paper papers over a month before the exams and it sky rocketed my grades. I still have all my AQA Bio and Chem notes and revision sheets if they would help. If you any more questions or need any help lmk just DM me on insta - yuv.s_
