5 simple tips to SMASH your A levels (and get 4 A*s)!
Hey friends, we're starting a new series on A level study tips. In this video, we talk through the 5 most important strategies (in my opinion) for revising A levels to secure the top marks! These tips could also be used for GCSEs, AS, IB, and many other qualifications. I hope you find this series helpful!

Yeah it's a classic, as we feel we need to cover all the content first. But starting papers early is the best way to prepare and will allow you to identify where your strengths and weaknesses are!
Great Rohan. Useful tips.

Could you make more videos on specific subjects for a-levels and could you share your resources like the bulletproof that you showed on this vid?

Hi Imam, yes I'm working on some subject specific videos. With regards to resources as I eluded to in the video I don't make notes myself, so I just used textbook and class notes. The thing with bulletproofs is that they will mean absolutely nothing to anyone else but me. They include stuff which I got wrong in past papers or mistakes I kept making. It is way way more useful for you to make your own document. Don't worry if you haven't started yet I hadn't started as well at this point, but I just spent one evening for each subject going through my files and writing down all the mistakes I had ever made onto a document. Hope this makes sense

Hi Rushima thanks for your question. Unfortunately many UK medical schools do not accept CBSE, usually it is only a levels or IB qualifications which are allowed. However, a few UK medical schools will accept CBSE, so it’s best to contact the admissions department of the university directly for clarification on this issue. Hope this helps

@@smokerx6291 I'm only talking about doing the past papers for your exam board. so if you are doing gcses, you have 2 papers per year, so maybe do 10 past papers in total per subject. There is no hard and fast rule. It obviously depends on what scores you are achieving. If you are already achieving the highest possible grade then you don't need to do as many

roughly how many hours did u study on weekdays and weekends?

I usually study around 6-8 hours per day. But more than the quantity of hours, its the quantity of work and the quality of that work which is the most important
