Studying help!

Could anyone share their studying schedules for A-levels that got them A’s in their subject because I am currently doing A-levels in psychology maths and French and I’m struggling to fit everything in and I was wondering if anyone had schedules that would not burn me out and that are highly effective

Hi @tatianafebr, I got A*s and As throughout my biology and geography a levels (expect for spanish haha I sucked at that) so I might be able to offer a little advice. I would recommend to focus on the subject you are in class for that day in your revision, stay after or before in the library making notes / flashcards, then closer to the exams swap this out for memorising the flashcards, doing past papers and getting friends to hold the flashcards and quiz you. Try sticking to just the work hours of the day e.g. 9-5 and always have a rest day once a week where you do no studying or work at all. Also, speak to your teachers after class and ask if you could have a chat about your grades and how to improve them. You can go over your past papers and see what it is you mainly struggle with as this will give you advice that's tailored to you. It's better to work on the specific stuff you struggle with from this tailored advice as that is how you will see the biggest improvements the fastest. If you commute, use this time to catch up on homework or revising as this will make the most out of your day and should stick to the only studying 9-5 or whichever times you set. Podcasts are also a great passive way of learning especially for language a levels like French. Also French movies and tv shows are a good way to relax but still be taking in the language and improving your listening skills. I recommend The 7 lives of Lea on Netflix and Lupin.

Hope this helps!
