Lock urself in a roomm and study all day/night long.......nah jk thats only for people who got no life :dance3: ......hmm have a specific time to study...go to the library or a place where u can better concentrate and only focus on that subject material tht u need to study...so lets saay go to the library everyday no matter wat for like atleast 4 hours and study, concentration is necessary! and then come back from the library and relax and just have fun or w/e....this way ur studying too and taking some time off too....and then at night or w/e review everything u studied so it sticks in ur mind...its proven that b4 going to bed if u revise something and if its the last thing u do b4 going to bed, u remember it welll and it sticks in ur memory....hmm idk what else.. :dunnouh:

Get all the past papers, get all the mark schemes, and hammer em :)

go threw the sylabus, and highlight all the key words, and make sure you no EVERYTHING on those key words, then a lot of reading and note taking, and do a lot of past papers, seems like a lot but when you spread it over it nothing, an its worth it

any other tips? Do you guys study more than one subject a day? What would be your average study day for A-Levels?

When you study more than one subject in a day you want to spread it out, like no math right after science (too similar) and no philosophy after world literature(too similar). You're better off splitting it by doing a math then philosophy then if you're real crazy physics then world lit. Also...don't study in the same room you sleep in. the sleep atmosphere won't help you study.

what's your major in college going to be? Well i got all A's..and the key is to study hard party hard...cause if you can't get a weekend of fun in, you don't feel motivated to study..if i had a fun weekend then i could concentrate on my work. ironically, the semester were id id the most drugs, had a job and went to school i got the best grades..because you have to balance...and waiting till the last minute is good, becaues it forces you to do your best work under pressure

i always leave it to the last minute! ... but i dont think thats goood!! you just start to panick and forget half the things lol

first thing is always do your homework and if u dont know something try to figure out by help from internet or someone who might know it.
second thing is if u get to know the date of your exams then start studying 2 weeks before ur exam . maybe just 20-30 minutes a day...and trust me u will get ya A+ :P thats what I do and mashallah my results were excellent ;)

Question: Is it better to make notes by hand or PC? I mean, from what I've heard shit sticks into your head more if you write it down.

lol dont make notes by pc, write em down, and when your revsing copy your notes again, but jus shorten em, i usualy shorten em 2/3 times that way i re-write everything so more sticks in my head and i have good stufy needs to revise from
