School Series || Post-mocks Update

1. Compartmentalise your life: First and foremost make sure you have time for studying, that will lead to your ultimate success or failure at A Levels, but also make sure you have time to socialise and relax, studying should not control your life.
2. Make a revision timetable: If you don't know how to make an equal one yourself, I would recommend http://getrevising.co.uk/ you just put in your subjects and it will sort our your weekly timetable for you, you can input exam dates and the level of priority for each subject
   
3. Colour code subjects: When you are writing any assignments or homework down, make sure to use a different colour for each subject. Try and use different coloured notebooks and folders to keep your notes filed in the right places.
4. Figure out what type of learner you are: I did an online quiz (here) to determine what type of learner I am so I could learn new techniques to study with that I wouldn't have normally thought of. Personally I know I am an auditory learner so watching documentaries and listening to music help me.
5. Practice papers are your best friend: If you do not do frequent past papers throughout the year you won't know what areas you are confident in, exam wise, and what areas you need more work on! You can either find these at your school or college, the exam board's website or on Get Revising..
   
6. Try to use your time in school or college effectively: If you have a free why not get a simple piece of homework out of the way before you get home, that's one less hour worth of study after school or college?
7. Ask your tutor if your revision notes are good enough: If you make a load of notes and you're unsure whether or not they are actually helpful, chances are your tutor will be able to tell you.
8. Find out what level you're working at: Make sure you know what grade you are working at and what you need to do to either improve or maintain that level.
9. Eat a healthy, balanced diet, drink lots of water and sleep A LOT!: If you want to do well you need to be in the best health you can be, or else it will be a bit of a waste of time, you don't want to feel lethargic while you're trying to study!
10. Enjoy your subjects: If you don't enjoy your subjects you are far less likely to try hard, and get good results, even if it means you have to make up rhymes to make the subject more enjoyable, it's worth it in the long run! Don't give up on a subject until you have tried to improve your opinions on it!
