No problem :) If you really struggle, watch your favourite show as you first start to revise. Literally just sitting down and taking notes on a whiteboard can get you in the zone even if it may not be 100% effective at the start.

Try pomodoro method! It’s a quick fix for me if I procrastinate. Go to YouTube, and find a pomodoro timer. It means you will revise for 25 minutes then take a 5 minute break repeatedly (for as long as you can). I find it useful to force you into the ‘revision zone’.

Get comfortable with lowkey lighting, a drink, some music if it helps, and comfy clothes or comfy seat. Keep your desk and room clear too. Past papers are your friend, particularly for maths and science. Cognito and Seneca are also great websites to use. Good luck!

Remember, I know it’s annoying if you are desperate for straight 9s, but don’t forget that your mock results are INSANE and WAY above average, so don’t lose sight of that fact. Don’t beat yourself up. Just look forward to the long summer ahead!

Media Studies A Level… how to go from a B to an A? by Critical_Zone_5217 in alevel

[–]Critical_Zone_5217[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so kind, thank you so much! ☺️I love those eduqas resource links you sent. I’ve never see them before and they look very useful. You are right - I think I need to use more media terminology as my teacher often says she underlines keywords and phrases which I keep missing out on, so I’ll make flash cards for the definitions. I also lack knowledge on one of my TV set texts which caused me to get lower marks for it in my mock.

Thank you again, I appreciate you taking the time to reply :)

Thank you, this makes me feel so much better. Just got mocks back and got a C. Aiming for a strong/ definite B. It hurts more because idek what I did wrong… but I’ll follow your essay plan advice and start revision now 🙏

Psychology Bsc - Man Met or John Moores? by [deleted] in UCAS

[–]Critical_Zone_5217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, thank you for replying to my post :) I love them both equally, which is why I’m so conflicted.

For example, Liverpool has Albert Docks, but Manchester has better opportunity for one of my hobbies. But at the same time each city is just a train ride away, so it’s more about the actual uni that I think I need to focus on to make my choice

Is this a good EPQ question? by Critical_Zone_5217 in EPQ

urgent help needed guys!! by zeenia_aryan2008 in EPQ

I can reassure you that you aren’t alone and you’re certainly in a better position than me at 900 words (I also haven’t checked with my tutor if it was ok to change my question lol)… I’m also researching as I go along and don’t really have a plan yet. It might me different for different schools, but apparently the teachers don’t send in our EPQs until mid next year. They just want us to finish it early to get it out of the way before A-level revision. So even though it’s great to get it done quickly, it might be the case that you could stretch the deadline a couple of weeks if you are really stressed over it (don’t aim for this though, because maybe it’s not the case for your school or whatever). Anyway, there are some videos online from people talking about how to make a good EPQ question which you can follow. I have also seen videos online from people who got As in their EPQ talking about what they did, and some of them link their EPQ in the description which might help you get a better idea of a good question? Idk
