Please share some tips.

(If any of you did Chemistry or Biology on Edexcel please contact me. )

I hate Edexcel.

AQA >

Good luck!

just survive them, I did biology and i'm now at a great university despite doing awfully in most of them, they are a thousand times harder than university

Uni is genuinely a piece of piss compared to A-levels. Just work your ass off.

Sis I'm dying.

It's torture. But they can't be harder than medical school.

A Levels were nowhere as bad as Uni is right now. Guaranteed I didn't put much work into A Levels and not doing so at Uni, but with A Levels, you could get good results by strategically studying at the very end. Uni is so much reading and I'm the biggest procrastinator

Basically.

Text books, Que cards/Index cards,
BBC Bitesize is good too.

go on website/ watch videos relating to your subjects & Take notes along the way

Don't even A levels were piss easy if you got it. Uni you have to read every week!

my teachers used to say that the Alevels will be the hardest part of student life. But uni is worse tbh


-

alevels in sg seems to be different

That's why you take a creative course at uni

Leviathan man I ended up answering the Hobbes question as one of my four for my Political Theory exam even though i had never read any of it

Urgh I feel for you. At least you're studying already, I have mocks in 2 weeks... To think they're planning to make A-Levels even harder

Anyone done edexcel history? I'm finding it overbearing right now, any tips?

My A Levels were harder than my degree! I got AAB, 2 ums from AAA

The main tip I can give anyone studying for their A Levels is to do as much reading as possible, and with that comes making a lot of notes.

Revising for your exams

1. Get hold of the syllabus
2. Analyse the syllabus
3. Make notes for every point on the syllabus
4. Memorise your notes for each point of the syllabus, one by one.
5. As you go along, tick off the points of the syllabus you have learnt.
6. Once you have gone through and memorised the whole syllabus, go through it and see what you remember.
7. Concentrate on memorising your weaknesses you've identified
8. Now you've done that, do 10 questions for each point on the syllabus - Identify weaknesses and go revise them again
9. Now, you're on your way to at least a B. Get hold of as many past papers as possible.
10. Do one paper for each A Level a day and mark yourself using the given marking schemes.
11. Identify weaknesses based on the practice exams - go over and revise them again.
12. Don't try and incorporate unnecessary stuff into your exams answers - You don't get any extra points
13. For essay exams - Try and create Grade A standard model answers for the most common topics that come in the past exams.

Remember, A levels require a lot of regurgitating. The key to getting a good mark is memorising and regurgitating.

Good luck.

If anyone is doing Biology or Business for their A Levels, feel free to PM or wall me if you need any help with anything.

Tea tbh.

AQA is queen. Flop Edexcel, WJEC, OCR and whatever else there probably is

I'm currently doing Biology but on AQA not Edexcel

My advice would be just do past exam papers and the look at the mark schemes. Learn all the phrases that the examiners like, it's more about memorising the right buzzwords than actual knowledge ddd.

Currently doing mine and I'm EXTEMELY unhappy. I wanna drop out after this year and do an apprenticeship or another specialist course and just get into a line of work

It's not that I'm failing, I'm just miserable and I'm becoming complacent. School just ain't for me.

I'm doing Maths, Further Maths (Edexcel), History and Biology (AQA). It's hell

I'm the biggest procrastinator, I've done absolutely no revision over Christmas And now I have a ton of work to do before I go back tomorrow
