How much should l revise for A levels?

I am wondering how much I should revise for my A levels, as my current target grade is AAA. At the moment, I am revising around 1.5–2 hours per day. Since I am at a boarding school, my timetable is quite packed. How long should I spend per day revising?

The current methods I am using are blurting, flashcards, and short analysis questions to strengthen AO2. I study History, Politics, and Economics. I would appreciate some recommendations.

That amount of time seems about right, and if those methods work, then sure. Remember to take rest days every once in a while though.

hi I think 1.5-2 hours a day is genuinely the perfect amount. Doing that consistently now will be way better than hitting 10 hour days before the exam. just try to finish all your notes/flashcards asap so then you can start actually memorising the content and getting it down. The thing that will actually get you to an A* level tho is just grinding past papers. Getting the technique down but also learning what you did wrong
