This video runs through the exact method I used to put every single piece of knowledge into my brain to obtain an A*, with 91% in my real A-Level.
This basically just runs you through everything you need to do. Nothing too complicated but it is a graft.

    Hi miss, thank you so much: For this comment, but mainly for the for the 2 years of great teaching and many laughs in the lessons! we’re picking up a few on here and a lot more on TikTok, the websites also under construction-we’re pretty much making everything we wish we had!! It’s safe to say we wouldn’t be able to make these videos without your lessons, thank you again miss and happy retirement! Hopefully you can get to Spain on a few weekends now the covid laws have loosened up a bit 😅 See you soon, Sam and Remik 😊

    What advice would you give for relearning things from year 12 which you have forgotten ie how should it fit in your revision schedule

  • @seachemistry

    @seachemistry

    Жыл бұрын

    Prioritise that, Do that before you start reviewing the year 13 stuff. Make anki decks on it as per this video and then you'll always be on top of it as anki will keep asking you stuff you don't know and wont ask the stuff you do understand :)

    How long after understanding a spec point would you then move on to exam questions as fully finishing an anki deck can take kinda long? Was anki part of your revision time or was your revision time just for understanding the content?

    I really would prioritise the ANKI deck portion of revision, if you keep up to date with you Anki stuff the exam questions become SO EASY.

    How did you balance what you learn in college and your own revision and how much time on anki or how many cards were you averaging each day?

  • @seachemistry

    @seachemistry

    Жыл бұрын

    When you're learning a topic in school, prioritise understanding what's going on. Do the homework's set each lesson and if you didn't get it in the lesson: revise it. Anki is to put stuff from your short term memory into the longterm. So, I'd only make the decks on topics that I'd finished completely. I'd set aside a few hours on a Saturday, review the whole of the topic I'd just learnt (e.g. Kinetics) and THEN make a deck on it. In terms of answering the decks, I'd work through every card I had up for review. I think it was around 100 a day don't take my word for it though. Just whatever I had up for review. I'd sit with a whiteboard and pen and work through them. Hope this helps :)

    Of course, you’ve got an AS Paper 1 - what you should do is use the spreadsheet linked, read through the AS Level topics ONLY in physics and inorganic sections, and harshly judge / rate yourself to see what you’re good / bad at. Then after that go away and start with what your worse at, review using videos / textbooks and then make notes. Then, as it’s so soon, we don’t have time necessarily for Anki to be effective but still make the flashcard decks for the future and answer them as you complete the deck. You do have time to answer loads of past paper questions on all the topics. Try and work through 1 of the spec points a day. After you’ve spent 2 weeks ish doing that you’ll have covered it all and you can start doing FULL AS Past papers. Only do paper 1 tho as that’s what you’re being assessed on! Should work a treat!

    Yes - even more so, as a lot of it is content. But be sure to pair it with reviews of exam questions frequently as the mark schemes in biology are very specific!

    To go through a whole spec point after already learnt it and I’m just revising it in order to make an Anki deck, anywhere from 3 hour to 5 hours - the longer spec points (transition metals etc) take far longer and sometimes I’d do it over 2 sitting or maybe even 3 at the max!
