How can I get A*A*A*???

Hey everyone!!
I'm doing my alevels next year summer, biology aqa, chemistry aqa, psychology aqa, and I'm at Ds and Es.
I really want to get A*s across my subjects, I'm homeschooled as well. I would really love some advice! xx
How should I revise for each subject, how much time should I give to each daily, any mistakes I shouldn’t do, how to utilise past papers..

Hi! I do these A-Levels too and I am at A*s (predicted). I recommend writing flashcards for all! Usually I write flashcards summarising the content, then when I have a test coming up I will go through these and brainstorm mindmaps, and then add to the mindmaps with things I missed. I also usually ask someone to test me on the content by asking questions and stuff like that. For biology and chemistry, practice questions are the best form of revision!!!! (especially for chemistry). PMT has practice questions by topic in their revision section. For psychology, I usually plan 8 and 16 mark questions and also do mindmaps of the evaluation points. I recommend going over a topic or 2 a day for any of the subjects, unless you have more time then you could do more. I find biology AO3 application questions quite hard so I practice these a lot as paper 3 is mainly ao3.
I hope this helped and good luck with your studies!

Change teachers, perhaps? Your current ones don't seem to be doing a great job.

What did you get in your GCSEs?
