I only had 50 days to revise for my Chemistry A-level exams and I managed to get an A*, which is a massive improvement from the B I was predicted! Watch on to see how :).

@@human-kg8nu omg I’m so sorry for the late replyy but yes i did a level chem, bio, and psych.

Alevel psychology was my favourite mainly because i planned every essay question out there and made up potential questions that could come up (which they did!) so i felt more prepared for the exams

@gloriasiu9188 2 года назад

Thank you for this video! My GCSEs are next month and I'm extremely stressed. I watched the retrospective revision video last month and I found that very useful. I also watched another video by Ali Abdaal talking about some effective revision techniques and one of the most effective ones was active recall and I decided to do it (with my spec sheet ofc). However, I realised that the process of active recall was taking a long time so I'm not really sure what to do. (Do you mind giving some suggestions ahh) But I'll definitely try using flashcards as they seem very useful. (Also you should post more I love your videos)

@gloriasiu9188 2 года назад

^ For mocks I did decently but I mainly took notes (because my notes were non existent at the time) However, I think the process of taking notes is too time consuming so I'm struggling to figure out what to do.

@simplysadhana Год назад

So sorry I didn’t see this earlier, I just finished exams myself so I've been offline for a while! I hope your GSCEs went well. I think for any subject involving exams, I personally find it easiest to make notes and check my understanding in someway, whether through exam questions, or flashcards. Mark schemes are so so useful for GCSE and A-levels as they hit all the key points that you need to learn. I also find it useful to teach other people (or things, I tried to explain the whole of respiration to my teddy bear this year) as it helps you build confidence with the content. Hope this helped. So sorry for the late reply again! Good luck with everything! xx

Hey how often would you review topics and the flash cards you have made? Great video🙃

@simplysadhana Год назад

@zainabawais_ 2 года назад

This was so helpful! did you feel that the notes didn't take up too much time? i know a lot of people at this stage tell us to ditch making notes as they waste a lot of time making them.

@simplysadhana 2 года назад

So glad it helped! I tried not to spend too long on the notes I just abandoned all neatness and just used notes as a way to quickly jot down things from the spec (this was mainly for topics that are content heavy that I didn’t entirely understand, for topics that were more application based you can just quickly skim past this step)

@fayeissavage7602 Год назад

How did you cover the whole specification in 5 weeks doing all the stages of your plan?? I’m doing A-level chemistry this year and have 50 days left at the time of watching this video

@simplysadhana Год назад

I would start off with the topics I felt I knew the least about as that would be the most time consuming. The first day I'd visit each topic, do the notes and attempt a few exam questions (max. 10 questions) and I wouldn't stress too much if I didn't understand it right away. I would make flashcards out of the questions I got wrong and move on to the next topic. I'd aim to do 2 topics a day eg. Group 7 and Transition metals. And later on a few days later, I would go back to try and understand the things I missed out the last time, and maybe make a few more flash cards if need be. It was more about using every day to build on the knowledge I had previously gained rather than trying to be amazing at everything right away. I really hope this helps, good luck with your exams :) x

It depends which exam board you do. You can google “exam board level subject specification” and it should usually turn up on google! For example for physics if you did aqa google “aqa alevel physics specification” and this pdf download should come up in the first link filestore.aqa.org.uk/resources/physics/specifications/AQA-7407-7408-SP-2015.PDF Hope this helps good luck xx
