Revision for my a levels

I've got a month before my a levels start and I'm doing 3 hrs revising for further maths, 2 hrs for physics and an hr for maths. Is that enough?

Absolutely it’s enough! I would advise you to do 2 hours of maths and 2 hours of fm, because fm is heavily reliant on knowledge from maths.

To put this into perspective, at the college I went to, you were not allowed to do further maths until you did your a level maths, meaning we sat maths in year 12 and fm in year 13 (:

Hi @Eggs^10, this is definitely a good amount of revision each day. I would also recommend doing a more equal amount of revision of maths and further maths. A good revision tool could also be that at the end of each week, you do a mock paper/test for each subject to test your knowledge you learned that week. In my experience, the 'pomodoro' method is a really good method for training your brain to retain the most amount of information. It's not for every one of course but could be worth trying out if you haven't already.

Good luck!
