yikes this is such an old question IM SORRY FOR TAKING SO LONG but here we go:

For a levels, I found the most important thing to be just doing past papers over and over until you get the right style + know what the examiners are looking for!

For bio, diagrams are a god send! Drawing out metabolic pathways always makes them stick in my mind better, then repeat and keep drawing them until you’ve got them nailed and can recite them from memory, then can quickly draw a sketch in the margin of the exam paper to help you know whats going on. 

Bio is all about memorising things, vocab, labelling parts of the cell and knowing what each bit does, pathways and processes, so I would make lots and lots of flashcards with the process on one side (eg Metaphase) then all the info on the back, then read the title and try to remember as many points as I can. If I could do all the points, put it in one pile, then all the ones I didnt know in another and keep going over them until you know it all (or as much as possible!)

Definitely don’t slack on the maths practice either, I remember we had some pretty tricky maths bits in our AQA paper. Practice reading off graphs, unit conversions, stuff like that.

Don’t be scared of the essays, they’re an ace way to show off all the knowledge. Don’t spend too much time worrying about which to pick, just go for the broadest topic and write your little heart out on as much as you know about it in as much detail as possible.

Chem, same again, write out each mechanism until you know it off the top of your head. Chem is also quite mathsy so make sure you nail the units and stuff, comes in really handy when it comes down to the MCQ as you want to be as precise and fast as possible as theres quite a few to do in a short space of time. I hated learning the practical bits (still do at uni LOL) but u just gotta learn em unfortunately. 

hello! thank you so much!! ahhh omg yes, i love 6/10. it’s such a nice song :’)

Thank you for the ask :) (I have seen your other one, but I’m working today so it might be tomorrow when I answer!)

🍁 - what season is your favourite? When are you most productive? In theory summer is my favourite because I like it to be warm and sunny and all the flowers are out, however UK summers always turn into a disappointment :/ I’m not sure whether this means time of year or time of day for productivity, but it’s even all year round, but I’m definitely more productive in the evenings than mornings!

Hello! Yes, I am doing papers from the previous specification. It’s not perfect as they don’t have all the topics but they’re better than nothing. Closer to the exam, I’ll probably work through the specimen papers for the current spec but the specimen papers aren’t usually accurate on the difficulty.

Aw don’t get down on yourself! Just take a break and chill out for a bit, or study a different subject. You can come back and tackle it later when you’re in the right frame of mind! Xx

oooh I really love the idea of this series! It...

Heyy :) Thanks so much!

I’m now following you <3

Well, first and foremost, near constant revision. Try to revise all the three every weekend. Not only will it improve your understanding but it will also help you later on, when you have class tests in terms of revision.

Also don’t get too caught up about grades at this stage. If your'e getting below 50% in some tests or a few homework, see a teacher! But remember, that those grades are NORMAL for such an early AS stage!!
