A Level Revision

Hey guys, I've just started my second week of y12 and I'm still trying to figure out how to revise/make revision materials. For GCSEs I didn't bother with notes, I just watched videos to make sure I understood the topic, then I went through premade flashcards until I memorised them, then I eventually did past papers/practice questions. Using this method helped me get pretty decent grades.

I'm worried that this method will not be enough for A levels. I've started by just making notes in class then going home and watching videos, and using AI and different websites to make sure I understand the topic, then I use my specification and my class notes and other online resources to make flashcards. I'm not sure what else I should do . Should I type out summary notes? Or should I just use premade notes? And when should I start practice questions? Also, any tips or advice on how to manage my time for things like revision, homework and making actual revision resources would be greatly appreciated.

I'm doing Chemistry, Biology and Sociology btw and I have baseline assessments for Chem and Bio in like 2 weeks.

For sociology, I'd recommend Tilf - you can practice essays and get feedback and marking directly. I also recommend some free youtube channels like CrashCourse Sociology, good content, easily digestible.

I found flashcards were a great way to revise during my A-levels. The best way is to make flashcards as you go along and then use practise questions afterwards. I would make a revision timetable, I found Google Calendar was great for this.

Thanks for you response. I'm just worried that flashcards aren't worth all the time. They are very time consuming to make and I'm worried I should be doing more/something else. I have my baseline assessments in 2 weeks and I want to make the most of my time.

Lots of people who get As/A*s tend to do an hour a day for each subject, for chem I use pre-made notes from chemrevise I do ocr A I think they do other exam boards too.
Accesstuition and pmt for exam qs by topic
Pmt for flashcards

So would you say it's not worth making my own flashcards/notes and I should use premade ones? Also, with exams questions, when should I start doing them? Thank you for replying btw

Honestly, I think it's a good idea to make them yourself. That way you can make sure that the flashcards and notes are about what you feel you're less comfortable with. Also when you make them yourself, they tend to be a bit easier to remember (or atleast they are for me). I doubt it makes too much difference which you do though, as long as you can stick to doing them consistently.

HI
I'm in the same situation as you are, so if anyone could help me out?
I'm doing Physics, biology and geography.
Geography I can manage with revision guides and my teacher provides enough homework to keep me going, revision guides (practice questions) and Seneca, for Physics I'm planning to use Uplearn all the way through along with revision guides, practice qs, and Seneca. Biology, I have no clue except revision guide (I have only been doing homework so far).
My question is could you help me out with time management, my homeworks are really really long and I have no time to take in consider of extra work and my school has extra work and to go above and beyond and those stuff... so please help me out... can you like help me out with some good revision tips for each subject?
Thanks

I would try planning out revision and homework using something like Google calendar. For biology I found making my own flashcards online (using StudySmarter) was best for me. I also did geography and also found making flashcards helpful. I would say that in the beginning it would be beneficial to overestimate how long things will take so that you have some wiggle room if things do go wrong.
