Revision tips!

Does anyone have any revision tips for either
A-Level Geography (Edexcel)
A-Level Chemistry (OCR A)
A-Level Psychology (OCR)

I really don’t know how to revise, especially to motivate myself enough to revise for chemistry, so literally any tips would be fantastic!!

Hiii, i can speak on a-level pyschology. i made question and answer flashcards, so on one side i'd have a question and the other side would have the answer and i would make these flashcards for every single sub-topic including experiments, and i'd make flashcards for a01 and a03 in each of these subtopics. I would also do a lot of practice essays, like a lottttt, and then i'd get my teacher to mark it for me and give me feedback. Also, videos were really helpful for me too for when I wasn't bothered, i would just have it play in the background whilst i was eating or something like that. But yeah, the most important thing is to make sure you know your a03 which is something that a lot of students forget they need, and they end up only learning the a01, remember that most of your marks in the essay questions come from your evaluation points so defintely prioritise them. To summarise, for me it was about testing myself and practising essays, hopefully you found this useful and that my method works for you :smile:

Hi,
The best way to revise for all three subjects is to focus on active revision and small, consistent sessions rather than long, unproductive ones: for chemistry, do exam questions daily and focus on mastering calculations, key equations, mechanisms etc.
Geography (edexcel) and psychology create case study flashcards. To stay motivated, set a routine, start with the subject you find easiest.
