         Tips
  • Teach what you revise to someone else - you learn 95% of what you teach someone else.
  • Make yourself a revision timetable, that way, if you are studying more than one subject (usually 3), then you can split your time equally, and see where you should take a break.
  • Don't just read the page - you only learn 10% of what you read.
  • Do not take a break if it is not on your schedule, you will then muck up your whole schedule.
  • Work during your frees. This is so important; you'll get a lot of work done and frees are the best time to do this. If your always find yourself distracted by your friends, in the short term working in your frees is tedious, but in the long term you'll get much better grades.

           Warnings 
  • Facebook was designed to distract you, so do not give into it!
  • Television in the background is also not helpful, so if you have it on, turn it off.
  • Turn your mobile phone off, no matter how much you think your friends need you to text them or vice versa, turn it off!
  • O-levels/GCSEs are nothing compared to A-levels, you will need to put in a lot more effort.
  • Don't skip topics you think are easy, some are crucial - make sure you know all of the topics that will be in the exam!
  • Use the specification (available on the exam board website) to make sure that you know everything you need to.
  • Don't think it is easy to even pass A-levels even if you have done so in O-levels/GCSEs.
  • Don't refer to the mark scheme while doing past papers, instead refer to the book or your notes. If you are sure you cannot find the answer use the mark scheme. Otherwise only use it to check how well you did after you've finished.
