Get a friend and pick out topics, teach each other- make up little stories with info eg:

"ok so her cholesterol was too high and that made the artery angry, now the endothelium is having a temper tantrum and got itself hurt, so the platelets have had to come etc etc-" idk why it works it just does

quickly do a high level summary of all important points you need everyday, write mark correct, repeat the next day

dont burn yourself out,

take advantage of extra help your college/ sixth form offers,

learn how to answer questions- dont just practice the questions- what trigger words are needed- formatting- how to be concise and effective etc

create really brief info pages now, you're going to want this the days before your exam,

dont cram the day of your exam- eat a good meal, be relaxed and get a good nights sleep

Stick a photo of the Uni you want to go to above your desk.
Every time your attention wanders and you glance at that - think about how badly you want that.

Hi,

I studied A-level Biology and Chemistry, and what helped me most was switching to active recall, using resources like flashcards, mindmaps and blurting rather than just rereading textbooks. After learning a topic, I used Physics and Maths Tutor for topic-by-topic questions and then moved on to full past papers. I found Chemguide and ChemRevise really helpful for clear notes, and videos from SnapRevise, Miss Estruch and Cognito made content much easier to understand. For trickier topics and past paper walkthroughs, MaChemGuy and Allery Chemistry were really useful. I also focused on quality over quantity and used the Pomodoro method to stay consistent without burning out. With the right revision approach, you can make progress leading up to exams.

Hope this helps,
