Revision techniques

Hi everyone! I’m starting Grade 13 this year and will be studying A-Level Maths, Physics, and Chemistry. I’ve already completed all my AS Level content, and in 2026 I’ll be moving on to the A2 syllabus, with my final exams expected around October–November 2026. My aim is to achieve high grades (A’s or possibly A*), and I’m really motivated to stay consistent from the beginning. I’m looking for advice on how to build a strong and effective study or revision timetable, as well as any proven techniques, tips, or strategies that actually work for long-term learning and exam success. I’ve also heard about retrospective and spaced-revision timetables and would love to know if they’re effective and how to use them properly. Any guidance or examples would be greatly appreciated!

Spaced repetition is more helpful for when you need to memorize basic facts, so look for some A level chemistry Anki decks. Physics and maths also have formulas that can be memorized, but for those two subjects it's really all about the practice problems. Of course, you should also be doing lots of chemistry practice problems as well.
