well I was going to give 4 as-level this may/june but I dropped one. the only common subject that we take is maths. For maths I read the chapters and make a summary for them (cuz I am preparing by myself, so there isn't anybody to help me out), then I solve all the exercises (ESPECIALLY IN MECHANICS) then after completing the book I solve almost all the past-papers, but don't forget to save for april, that is my revision month ;)

and I would like to ask you a question, do you know anybody that will be giving Geography AS-Level examinations. I need notes cuz there are some topics which are hard to find on the net.

3 Subjects. I Dont take bio since I decided which field Im going for a degree in :).
If you're not confident for past papers, go through the syllabus and revise the chapters you're not confident in. Practice topical questions to increase your grip on the chapter.
Well best thing to do is do past papers and worksheets for each subjects once done with the syllabus. Im studying 4.5 hrs on average daily, 1.5 for each subject. You can also clear doubts at College as well as practice Practicals whenever you get a chance.
Physics http://www.xtremepapers.com/communi...s-worksheets-with-mss-from-chadhas-book.9428/ seems very useful. Past papers will be some great addition.
Chemistry the best is past papers, Maths too. Whatever you do, don't forget to practice Maths daily!
I really suggest you cut-down on any extra time-consuming activities and the internet. 1 hr of internet or as per your choice daily. Prayer is a necessity, always make Dua :D
Eat, drink and sleep healthy :D
Mobile phones are a huge distraction. Get a cheap one with the usual call/message facility only as you please and put the other one away until exams are over. Unluckily mine got stolen just the day I was gonna swap it :(
I would happily welcome any other suggestions :D

I'm doing my AS levels this May/June;
  • AS Maths C2 & S1 [Edexcel]
  • AS Physics [Cambridge]
  • AS Applied Information and communication technology [Cambridge]
  • AS Computing [Cambridge]
I set targets for each month (or sometimes 2/3 weeks) and then do a past paper on the subject, and see how your results keep on getting better as you are finishing the entire course.

Im going for 3:
A2 Physics
A2 Mathematics
A2 Chemistry

The procedure I have been following is to take up a topic at a time and thoroughly wrap it up, including detailed study, past papers and making my very own notes.

I am doing 5 AS this year! And I have finished A level Bio!
Bio isn't really difficult!

you still have time, so I estimate that bio has 24 chapters, and they are a combination of short and long ones.

just study 1 chapter a day! I know this might be slow but it is the best way to study bio!
here's how I did it:

-read the chapter very carefully, even the comments under the pictures matter!

-understand each sentence, if you don't, read it again and think about it! ( it has to make sense!)

-understand the chapter and the concept of it, and then memorize the important definitions.

-you can't memorize something which you don't understand!

-solve SAQ questions.

-memorize SAQ questions.

-and read the summary and memorize it.

-the next day, just read the summary of the previous chapter before going to the next one for a quick revision and then start a new one, the same way
as the old one.

-if you find a short chapter, like one that has 4 pages or so, join it to the chapter after it! that way you can save some time! ( in this case a day )

- and last but not least............

GOOD LUCK!!! :) :) :)
