Revision for A-Levels

I’m looking to start revising for my internal mocks for A-Level predicted grades.

For my GCSEs, I relied heavily on Seneca, Save My Exams and other websites.

However, at A-Level, I do English Lit, History and Philosophy, so those websites aren’t really that helpful anymore.

Anyone got any suggestions or tips?

I recommend studyfastai.com for creating exam style questions on whatever you want. I don't take your subjects but I can assume that pmt and save my exams can't be that great for lit, english philosophy.

Hello,
I also used Seneca Learning as my sole revision method for GCSEs, but I then also used it for A Levels as a way to consolidate the basic information and tell me when to study what. I would therefore still recommend using Seneca Learning as this will give you baseline knowledge and enough information to pass the exams.

If you want to aim for the higher grades, then this is when you need to do additional stuff to Seneca Learning and revise the topic in much more depth and detail to build on that which you have obtained from Seneca. One of the best revision techniques is definitely past papers!

I hope this helps, if you have any further questions please do let me know!

hi! i do english lit and philosophy too, and i find seneca useful for english revision, especially context. for me, the best way to revise for lit is making essay plans, so finding past paper questions (or coming up with ur own) and writing down the key points/topic sentences, the quotes, and the context you would use for each point - doing this helped me get from a D to an A. and for philosophy, the best thing is to write all arguments into premises and conclusions, and turn them into quizlets, and i would reccommend past paper questions for phil. also, make the 25m essays into tables with, for each "section", a point-criticism-response-evaluation. it really helped me, i went from a C to an A.

also, just a reminder that its your overall performance that goes towards those grades. i got CCD in my mocks, yet got predicted AAA, and im on track for the latter now (sitting them in a few months) - hope this helps
