  • Hi everyone! In this video I give you some of my pieces of advice on how to make sure you achieve those high grades at A-level. I used all of these techniques when revising for A-level Chemistry, A-level Maths and A-level Biology, and I think they are really important and effective. I hope this video is useful - if it is, please let me know in the comments!

    2.Start your revision early

    What textbook did you use for your notes/revision? I’m doing aqa and loads of people are saying the cgp revision guide misses out lots of content but I find it the easiest to understand and it goes by the spec. Making my notes from the Oxford textbook would take too long as it’s too dense and sometimes tells you things you don’t need to know

    • @hibbear
      @hibbear  Год назад

      I'm not entirely sure. This might be seen when they tell you the breakdown of how you have done in each segment of the exam. Overall, you will only get one letter as a grade for each subject.

      Do you mean in the context of applying to Medicine or just overall? As long as you have 2 sciences, that is enough. You don’t need to pick maths if you don’t enjoy the subject or think you may find it difficult.

    Do you recommend the cgp revision guides for alevels..how effective do you think they where?

    • @hibbear
      @hibbear  2 года назад +2

      Hi, yes I used the CGP revision guides and I think they are really good for ensuring you’ve covered all the basics and have learnt all the base knowledge. However if you’re aiming for those high grades I don’t think using them alone is enough. Past papers are essential to familiarise yourself with the kind of questions that can come up - sometimes things come up that are unmentioned in CGP-style revision guides.

Have you tried speaking to anyone at your college about what support they might be able to offer to boost your grades?

      @shahzadi.zafira__ Год назад

      @@hibbear well, I have a meeting with my learning manager on Monday to discuss these things and I'll bring up this issue. But they would mainly ask me to attend support sessions (normally I'm the only student there) and my teacher teaches me the topics that I missed/unsure of. I think that would be beneficial. Tbh I just wish I had more time because I have the resources and I am sure I can push for an A* from a B and it's doable. But being on hospital and having 1/2 of my year gone feels a bit discouraging.
      Also I have chronic fatigue and pain so some days I can do work and others I literally can't leave my bed because my body is in so much pain. That's why I feel like I'm not at my potential. Life is punching me and I'm taking the punches.
