Write flashcards for your year 1 content ASAP - I really recommend using Quizlet or other online flashcard sites as they are easier to edit later on if you want to refine them. This gives you time to focus over the summer on which you don't remember and also so you can focus on post a-level options & exam technique more in year 13

Find out which type of questions you find hardest - focus on those!
•
Ask your teacher for help clarifying anything you can't figure out on your own
•
Consider dropping a subject if you're doing 4 - I dropped Further Maths and my grades immediately went from ABCD to AAB so its definitely something to consider
•
Study in a group or with a friend because so much of the content is BORING. I have a really great study partner and we both find it really helpful to explain concepts to one another and point out when the other is wrong

thank you for the advice, I’ve started writing my flashcards in person since I get distracted whenever I do anything online lmao. I’ll do some questions and see what I should work on.
Thanks for the help
