Revision tips
How the A* students revise
Active recall > re-reading
Close the notes and write what you remember. The struggle to retrieve is what builds memory.
Past papers, early
Start timed papers weeks before, not days. Mark them with the scheme to learn what examiners want.
Space it out
Short, repeated sessions beat one long cram. Revisit a topic 1 day, 3 days, then a week later.
"The notes covered exactly what came up in the exam — I walked in knowing I'd seen all of it before."
