1:30 That's a great inclusion in this video, actually. I've tried timetables, schedules etc. and they simply didn't work for me, and I am very glad I've realised this earlier on. While I am unsure whether that only happens to a minority of people, every subject/topic is time subjective. Truly don't recommend having set time blocks for planning out your revision, spend as much time as you need on that subject and attempt to balance it out with your other subjects. All in all, good luck everyone! 👍

This is seriously top advice, Udoka! It’s so cool that you got to bring students taking different subjects and all with different perspectives. Just as they said, there’s so much more than simply “studying”. The whole mental health aspect that comes into play. In the end achieving top grades comes to polishing the details. So glad to see you back in the game sharing top advice!! 👊🏻😃📚

Blurting is a real life cheat code for GCSE. You can get 9s by only using it and minimum a B-A at alevel (ie because alevel is more than memory but still helpful). I’ve used it in the past to memorise the entire Tudor dynasty month by month, not kidding and in detail. (1485 to like 1600)

As another A star student I think the difference between the avg student and A star students is effort if you realistically study over 5 hours a day it’s very unlikely you won’t get A star ideally you want to learn everything before your teacher starts teaching

would you reccomend creating FC and covering contents over GCSE summer i really want all A*s and am doing Maths Chem and Bio for Alevel

@abz7800 Жыл бұрын

@@A_-.328 i think you should do whatever learning method suits you best but I must say most a star students will heavily revise the corresponding books for their subject example for Chem and bio you need to really memorise the aqa books a teacher cannot go into the details required to get a star personally I think it’s impossible to get a star without memorising the books and just learning from a teacher and teacher resources I’ve never heard of someone doing that . Also I don’t think you should use flash cards for a level there is a lot of content .practice questions and constant revision is what you need for a level I’m also doing maths

I took physics in igcse and got A* even though I don't consider myself a big fan of physics and sometimes find it complicated. but i did not take physics for AS. As for s1, I found it easy but boring. what would you advice me to with? s2 or m1? Thank you for your time

But when it came to the exam I completely crashed and I don’t think I even passed. I have the stats and mechanics paper in 9 days. Do you know roughly what your schools grade boundaries were for year 12 mocks. If we don’t get a D we’re kicked off the course
