Revision ressources for a levels
I’ve just started my a levels and have just been making notes in class so far. My go to study techniques are flashcards, blurting and exam questions which I want to continue in a levels. Higher it as so time consuming making flashcards at gcse I can’t imagine how long it will take for a level and I’m really trying to elate from my mistakes and spend more time actively reading. I know I could probs make flashcards as I go but if there is already good enough pre-made flashcards, is it worth using them, or is it worth making them so that I haven’t them in a way that I understand. I do chem, bio and English lit. It lost my chem and bio I’m thinking of using pre made. English lit I really have no clue how to revise for it, so if anyone has some tips for that it would be great too! But yeah is it worth it using pre made, can I still get an A*, I’m an over thinker and I just don’t want to regret anything lol.

Hi!
Out of the options that you named, I only do Chemistry and from what I've been doing so far, I don't think using flashcards is that great unless it's for equations and small facts. Exam papers are what you should be relying on consistently and watching videos where you don't understand a topic. Spaced repetition is also really beneficial as it allows you to focus on weaker topics, so you don't constantly revise what you know. I've also just started my A-Levels, so it might be worth you trying out any of the techniques I've mentioned that you haven't yet done since we might be learning the same content currently
Good luck!
