Results

Tomorrow will be the release of A Level results!

With that in mind, I would like this post to about A Levels.

Your grades(achieved and predicted) are probably the most important part of your applications! No matter how good your work experience,volunteering experience or extra curricular activities record, you will not get any interviews/offers without a good set of grades!

Here are some tips for the subjects I did for my A Level course

Maths:
Practise!
Here are some links that will help you:

Biology
This is applicable to all 'memorising' subjects
Read your textbook to get the key ideas of what you need to know(refer to the specification)
Make notes/flashcards or even posters of your notes to paste on your wall!!You'll always be staring at them so they would get into your head somehow!
Go on TSR and discuss/trade questions and answers with other people!
You may want to consider doing 'legacy' papers(really old papers!)
Here are some links I found helpful

Chemistry
Make flashcards/notes!
Practise! Do all the past papers and even papers from other boards! the concept is still the same just that different boards have different styles of asking questions! By exposing yourself to the different questions,you are doing yourself a favour!
http://a-levelchemistry.co.uk/ ( AQA and OCR) this is a really really awesome awesome awesome website!

Physics
Just keep doing papers, you will find that the questions are all about the same
Invest in a good revision booklet if you need to

Here are some links for old exam papers:

I wasn't paid by any website to advertise any of these!!

Good luck to everyone getting their results tomorrow!
