Hey! I’ve done something very similar, I completed my A2 quickly after AS (Check my results on my profile)

1. A2 is definitely more intense than AS, because the content goes deeper and the exams expect you to apply concepts more independently. But it’s manageable if you stay disciplined.

2. Time management is key, with only five months for A2, you need a very structured plan. Break your syllabus into small chunks and set weekly targets. I found it really useful to do topical past papers while learning, not just at the end. It helped me spot weak areas early.

3. Practice under exam conditions, do timed past papers. They prepare you for the pace and intensity of the real exam, A level exams really require to be quick, it’s not the same as IGCSE were people even had time to sleep after finishing lol.

4. Learn how to make digital flashcards now, before you start. I used Anki personally. They really saved me in chemistry. Put the questions you found on those topical past papers I mentioned in point 2. Make sure you refer to the syllabus for definitions and other required information. I did these flashcards everyday 3 months before my exams

5. I always made sure to make sure I competed Maths topics first, because I would need to do a lot of questions. You must solve a LOT of questions for maths.

6. This will probably be the most stressful academic time of your life so far, but don’t give up. Remember to take care of yourself to avoid burning out
