Updated for 2019-2021 exams, How to ACE Your A-Levels is available now! For a FREE preview and reviews click here - www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...
Inspired by student success stories. We tell you what your teachers don't...
How to ACE your A-Levels teaches you how to ACE your exams. No matter how smart or behind you may think you are this book will teach you how to revise... properly!
This is my story. I was an average student in a typical state school. I was by no means a 'geek' or conversely, a 'bad-boy'. I was just a normal guy. I went to all my lessons and did my homework. I did everything my teachers told me to. BUT, I failed my AS levels.
I was shocked, how did I fail when school had given me all the information I needed to pass the exams? I knew it was something to do with the way I worked and the solution would be to rectify my revision technique. I formulated a handful of simple strategies tailored to the specific type of learning in each of my subjects. I created detailed plans on how to absorb the information to perform and achieve my target of at least 3 A's out of 4 subjects.
One year later, I finished college with straight A grades. At university, I used the same principles and techniques to motivate myself, and it worked. Since my AS levels, I have never failed an exam, and I have full faith that I never will. I left UCL (University College London) with a first class honours degree. My results were in the top 5 percent of the year and I was awarded with a commendation of excellence by the Dean of Students.
Over time, with the help of the co-author of this book, I gathered all these techniques and produced a 3 step plan for students. In the first step, method, we tell you what top students do to secure top marks in exams. Here we cover repetition theory, the most effective memorisation techniques and discuss how to tailor your learning technique to the subjects you are taking.
Step 2 is the 'Study Cycle'. For years I've heard the term 'work hard' thrown around with no explanation. I believe 'working hard' is a skill in itself which must be understood and practiced as much as any A level subject. Here we provide case studies and examples of other students and their day to day habits during the academic year to help you gauge how much is enough.
Step 3 is 'Motivation'. This section provides the fuel for the 'Study Cycle'. We show you how to increase your attention span through simple and effective tricks. Furthermore, we discuss the damaging insecurities that hold you back from reaching your maximum potential and help you tackle them head on.
Read this book and you will be armed with techniques that will help you ACE your A-levels and equip you for any other exams during the rest of your life.

Those are good subjects. In my opinion, Biology is one of the easiest subjects to achieve an A or A* in. It's almost pure memory and the exams are mostly short answer questions. All you need to succeed is a productive routine and one decent memory study technique.

You might not be aware of this but a book costs little more than around 50 pence when u look at it from an economies of scale perspective, and for anyone to charge £4 or whatever for a book is clearly aiming to make a profit (which i dont blame him for as hes making the book anyway) but i disagree which charging people for it at all, especially when theres so many other ppl who charge absolutely fuckin nothing for educational content, ie. Khan Academy

AceYourAlevels No problem, will do. Also, need a bit of advice. Really want A in maths A Level, and need it for uni. currently doing my AS and my first module, C1 didnt go very well, i can still recover it with S1 and C2 to an A, but they are a lot harder. I will definitely retake C1 next year, is there anything i can do in regards with universities? needed an A for a prediction to do chemical engineering :(
@araja1988

james dale Hi James, I studied Chemical Engineering as well. So there are a few things I recommend: 1. Read my book: 'How to ACE Your A-Levels' - I know it's mine and I would say that but it will just sort your head out and help you hit the ground running in September. 2. If you don't get high enough grades, pester your teachers for high predicted grades. Try everything: letters written by your parents, meetings etc. One student I was mentoring even summarised my book and handed each of his teachers a 10 page plan on how he was going to improve his grades over A2. He eventually got higher predicted grades. 3. In my opinion, even if you don't get amazing grades, apply to at least 4 - 5 top universities (Preferably Oxbridge, Imperial and UCL). If you don't receive an offer, you're better off improving your grades over A2, taking a gap year and reapplying to these unis. 4. Gap year - do it. Even if you do get an offer try and defer it and get some work experience. When it came to applying for graduate jobs, those who did work experience in their gap years were miles ahead of everyone else. 5. Make sure your personal statement is solid: Drop me a message on here closer to the time and I can give you a few tips for ChemEng personal statements. I hope this helps! Raja

Hi Lady2Luv, Thank you for reading our book and getting in touch. I still think it’s important to learn your A2s first because it’s so easy to neglect them when you’re doing a lot of retakes. I did the same thing during my 2nd year for 3 sciences and maths. I never really had to go back to my AS modules when learning the A2 - if I did it would only be a quick brush up on a topic. However, if your A2 modules rely heavily on the AS ones, by all means revise them first as this would be more efficient. Raja

I don’t like how this book doesn’t talk about looking after yourself and not burning yourself out. It says that not working late or not working on a Friday because you’re too tired are excuses to not work which is not true, because if you’re tired your work won’t be effective anyway. This is very likely to damage people’s mental health. Also, if A Levels were as easy as just memorising the textbook and doing papers then everyone would get As. The fact that it says you can revise for a subject in 10 days at first is total nonsense. A Levels have changed A LOT since this book was written. Nowadays, if you get 3Bs you should be immensely proud of yourself because they are so hard! To anyone starting A Levels: only do 3 from the very start, and please look after yourself! If you’re having to work ridiculously hard to get 3As, then DON’T aim for 3As! It’s much more important that you enjoy your Sixth Form life and work steadily, as you will be healthy and happy rather than burnt out and miserable like I was 😔

Nico, I was in the exact same position as you. All the steps you see in the book are the ones I took to turn my D's into A's. My advice is take a break from all your hard work over the exam period. If you don't get the grades you want in August then start your revision for January exams immediately and follow the guidance in How to ACE Your A-Levels. p.s. Pay particular attention to the scribble technique. I attribute much of my improvement to this learning technique as it help me absorb and retain information in the most efficient way. Well done for getting through your exams and try not to worry about your results! Raja,

Hi, The repetition revision timetable… As you are in your 2nd year, I recommend getting your A2 modules out of the way first (see the power layer or power rep under step 1). The first layer should take around 3 weeks per module. That should take you into February/March. As long as you do the first layer properly you should be able to hit above 70% for most exams after doing past papers 1 or 2 days before the exam. However, you can do better than 70%. You should aim to get a 2nd and maybe a 3rd layer done between March and May(exams). The 2nd layer should take 1 or 2 weeks per module to cover. If you don’t think there is enough time to do 2nd layers for all ur exams then pick your weakest modules. Your revision plan can go something like this.. 1st Sep - 21st Sep : Power Layer - Psychology module 4 21st Sep - 12th Oct: Power Layer - English Module 5 . . . 1st March - 14th March: 2nd Layer - Psychology module 4 Etc Etc I hope this helps!

Hi, I suggest you get the first layer of your A2 modules completed & out of the way before January. It should take you 3 to 4 weeks to complete the first layer for each module. Make sure the first layer is a strong one & use the scribble technique throughout for amy memorisation. Also, don't be afraid to cover the material before its taught in class. Raja

Hello Anshul Raja, This is not my account but sister's however it would be great to get a response from you. Currently at the moment I am very saddened by my state. In the mocks I had around Jan/Feb I received U grades though I studied during free sessions. I study maths, physics, english literature and chemistry. My hope was to get A grades during this summer but this seems impossible as I only have 2 months to do so with 8 exams in total..5 in may, 3 in june. I'm so stressed and confused. I started AS with so much energy and light- maybe I was being too optimistic or that I didn't do enough past papers. What grades should I aim for now? I want to go to uni and at this moment, it seems I would be lucky to even get C/D grades in summer.

To your 2nd question, I don't see how doing 3 subjects can stop you from doing CS at a top university. However, I would check university prospectuses carefully. Raja P.s. CS is a fantastic course to study - there is high demand for programmers in the UK and that demand is only going to increase over the next few years.

When I say strong, I mean thoroughly working through your text books using the scribble technique and no skipping sections. Make full use of your evenings/free periods/weekends and you should be fine. Raja

Hi Raja, I that know you referenced in this video and your "how to ace your a levels" book that you used the same three-step approach at uni to get a 1st class honours. But, my question: is did you change anything at uni ? The reason I ask is because university learning is different to a levels. For example university learning outcomes are not as structured and defined as they are at a levels. Can you share some advice on "how to ace university exams"? In the life sciences. Just as a final question could you perhaps write a book on how to ace university exans?
@AceYourAlevels1
@AceYourAlevels1 9 жыл бұрын
technokid18 Hi technokid, I'm glad you asked that because I'm in the process of writing "How to ACE University". You highlighted an important point about a lack of structured learning outcomes. This caught me off guard during 1st year uni and therefore I didn't do as good as I hoped. Even though I turned it around in 2nd and 3rd year, it would have made my life a lot easier if I knew the pitfalls earlier! With regards to your question, the How? and When? to revise guidance in How to ACE Your A-Levels is still relevant. However the What? to revise has to change. You have to create your own learning outcomes by maintaining a close relationship with your lecturers and also students from the year above! As you can imagine, there's more to it then that. Make sure you keep an eye on our facebook page: facebook.com/AceYourAlevels for updates on the new book 'How to ACE University'.

Hi Tom, Thank you for reading our book! I would get your A2 modules out of the way first. Assuming you have covered a lot of your A2 stuff over your first term (lessons/homeworks), your 2nd layer should be much faster. As a rule of thumb, each module should take around 1 - 2 weeks for your 2nd layer when using our techniques. If you work fast and make full use of evenings/weekends, you could potentially finish up the 2nd layer a couple week before your exams. I don't think there will be time for a 3rd layer so hit past papers when you approach exams. Raja

Hi , I was wondering if you can help me! In my AS I achieved 3C and an E I'm currently doing A2 but not redoing any units again at the moment unless I choose to redo one of As law units which I got a D in because the other unit I got an A in. In the summer I've got 2 law exams , 2 sociology exams and 1 English exam , so 5exams potentially 6, do you think I would be able to achieve minimum grade of ABB ? Urgently need help , thank you :)

@AceYourAlevels1
@AceYourAlevels1 9 жыл бұрын
Hi Fatima, The techniques in How to ACE Your A-levels are well suited to your subjects. As you would expect, English literature requires a different approach than Biology and Chemistry. While science and maths based subjects require only textbooks to revise from, English lit requires a thorough understanding of your literature texts. You literally need to know them like the back of your hand. Our scribble technique can help with this particularly with memorising quotes. However, analysis and essay writing ability are equally important and practice is the only way to improve. I hope this helps! Raja

Hi Yayvillee, Thank you for purchasing our book! I hope you enjoy the success many others have experienced from reading it. The 'core text books' we refer to are the text books recommended or issued by the exam board for each of your subjects. Exam boards being Edexcel, AQA etc. Usually core text books have the exam board logo somewhere on the front cover. Ask your teachers if you are not sure. If you do have a 'core text book' for your subject then these are the best and only thing you should revise from (before doing past papers prior to exams). Don't get distracted by colourful revision guides. However, some subjects do not have 'core text books'. In such a scenario it's best to use text books recommend by your teachers and classroom notes. I hope that helps! P.s. pay special attention to the scribble technique in the book. I attribute much of the improvement in my grades to sticking to that simple learning method. Best of luck!

K.Chana Hi, Revision time table: From now till summer, it's important to complete strong 1st layers for as many modules as possible. When I say 'strong layer' I mean thoroughly working through exam board textbooks using the scribble technique for memory based subjects and working through practice questions in method and understanding subjects. I recommend completing the first layers for your A2 modules before you start your retakes revision. Also, it will be difficult to turn 3C's into 3A's with only 2 retakes. I understand your restrictions with retakes but please speak to your teachers about this. Raja

I'll still have 1 C grade at the end of A2 because I dropped one subject. I'm not worried too much about turning Biol and Maths into As because I got a B in Biol and the for maths C2 brought my grade down. I'm most worried about Chem. For Chem it requires me to get good As all through A2 and in my resit of Chem 2.

King Henry So about 3 days per module. Yes you can use the scribble technique, but you don't have the time to read over the page 2 or 3 times. You will have to work quickly. Make sure you prioritise your past papers over your textbook. In your position, for each module, I would use the scribble technique along with your textbooks for 2 days and spend the 3rd day doing past papers.

Hi Raja, I've been trying to reach out to you for many times now, I'm in a desperate situation...I really need your advice and help. I have bought your book and I’m reading it while using it to help guide me along with my A levels but I have a lot of questions. First, I hope it’s ok if I give you a bit of my background to year 12 and my situation? This year, I sat exams for AS English Literature, Physics and Chemistry but got really poor grades: EUU. I only technically passed English literature so was advised to resit year 12 again. A teacher said another option would be me becoming a private candidate which would mean I’d have to pay to sit exams, find my own tutor while self teaching these three A levels. I’ll have 14 exams in total, 2 praticals (A2), I've now recently decide to drop English Literature and take up maths so I'd need to get A level Maths, Physics and Chemistry done in a year for next summer. This seems super stressful and as a bad idea and thought maybe I should just resit year 12. But then, I realised if I did this, I can avoid the new A level reforms and after take a gap year which I really would like so I can gain more experience in the field I would like to enter. I don’t really know the content though for AS Physics, Maths and Chemistry, I know parts of the content but not well so it would mean me learning everything in a year while revising for these 10 exams in summer and doing coursework. I remember there was a section in your book talking about balancing AS & A2 exams and that though it may seem that you should start learning/revising for AS first, do A2 first but how does someone like me do A2 first if I am learning AS as I am very weak in AS? A2 seems almost impossible to understand because I don’t have the foundation from AS and even some parts of GCSE lol, which is why I wanted to ask if I began with AS first then began to learn A2 in January/February, is this too late? Or could I learn A2 and AS together? Some AS level modules in Maths, Physics and Chemistry match a lot of the A2 modules, A2 is a continuation from chapters so I was thinking should I do that? I just want to spend the little time I have very wisely and productively. My fear is being a month away from exams and still having many chapters to learn like last year. But I also want to learn these three subjects well enough to do well in the exams next year, aiming high in terms of grades.

I'd try hard and see how this year goes but in all honesty if you are struggling with the GCSEs you may may to think is going to be too hard. It's possible to pull Cs/Ds up to As/A*s (what I did) but then there's a huge struggle when you start college. (Which I am finding now). Just bare in mind (not too much, still focus on this year) that next year you want to be able to achieve in what subjects you pick.

Granted , not as much as I should've but I was shocked. I passed with c and above in everything even though I expected to fail and according to mocks, I should've had only 4 passes. My advise, watch KZbin videos. (Since you don't read) That's what I'm doing for AS level. Also keep in mind, that looking back now at last year, year 11 was like the year one compared to a levels. I wish I could go back.

Hi Antonio, Thanks for reading my book and your question. It's perfectly OK to study a subject before your teachers have taught it, in fact I advise this. Do you remember the topic in How to ACE Your A-Levels on the 'power layer'? The exams/subjects I prepared for using a power layer were the ones I performed better in; often hitting marks above 95%. I often prioritised my layered learning time table over homework. This annoyed my teachers, but it worked out at the end. I obviously don't advise this! However, if you start early, you should be able to manage your layered learning time-table alongside homework/course work. Remember, school is your secondary tool (particularly when it comes to memory & learning + method & understanding subjects). Your exam board verified textbooks should be your primary tool. I hope this helps! Raja

It does help thanks! Do you have any new tips considering that we have to repeat the same exams again under this new system as well as our A2 exams?

@AceYourAlevels1 7 жыл бұрын
With the old system where you could re-take exams in the summer and with the old-old system where you could re-take exams in January, you could get away with doing a strong 1st layer and past papers closer to exams. Now you can't! So it's even more crucial to start early and get at least 3 layers in before each exam.

+Academic Underdogs Thank you Raja. Although English Language is written prose, would you argue that it is also key to practice essays over and over again like how you say it is important to do practice questions with method and understanding subjects?
@AceYourAlevels1
@AceYourAlevels1 7 жыл бұрын
Absolutely - essay practice is important. However, it's only one piece of the puzzle. You need to become good at forming opinions by forcing yourself to generate and share opinions on everything you hear or see - movies, music, politics, social media etc. Learning how to analyse is also important and that comes from practice and listening to those little golden nuggets from teachers/tutors. For those who aren't naturally good at the above, English Language can be the hardest and most awkward subject to prepare for.

Hi Brianna. With 2 months left to revise for 10 exams, you will have approximately 6 days preparation per exam. It doesn't give you much time, but I have seen some people achieve 3 A's with similar time restraints. I recommend: 1. Prioritising two subjects out of the three. These two subjects should be the most relevant subjects to the uni course you want to do (assuming you are applying to uni). Allocate 8 or 9 days to prepare for these exams. 2. Complete ALL the past papers for ALL the exams. Studies have shown there are a strong correlation between the number of past papers completed and grades. 3. Read How to ACE Your A-Levels - there is very little useful advice I can give over a short message. As you can imagine, when it comes to achieving good grades, the devil is in the detail. It's an easy read that you can get done in 2-3 hours, so it won't take too much of your revision time away. How to ACE Your A-Levels - www.amazon.co.uk/How-Ace-Your-Levels-Inspired/dp/B00QQW6HYO/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= I hope that helps! Raja

Hi Raja, I have under performed in my AS getting Cs in most of my exams. I am going to retake about 8 Exams plus an Empa alongside my 7 other A2 exams. How is the book going to help me? Is it the same rubbish i hear all the time like making colorful notes and nice mind maps because last year that did not work for me!
@AceYourAlevels1
@AceYourAlevels1 9 жыл бұрын
Hi Rakib, I also made the colorful notes and mind maps during my AS, and just like you I ended up with low grades. One of the reasons I wrote the book was to encourage students to adopt a more industrious and efficient way of learning/revising. Do the methods I describe work? The reviews/testimonials on www.aceyouralevels.com and amazon will answer that question. You might be thinking..’how on earth can an ebook help me improve my grades?’. To this I would say that sometimes it only takes a change of perspective to trigger an improvement. This is what How to ACE Your A-levels provides. I hit rock bottom after receiving my AS results and found a way out of what seemed like a futile situation. This book is essentially my story & a detailed description of how I got out of the mess which were my grades. When I started selling it, I wasn’t sure it would help anyone but now based on all the positive feedback it has received I know it’s having a huge positive impact on many students. Chances are it will help you too. Raja

However i have to other option and this is what i need to do if i don't want to end up doing a crappy course at uni. I have 15 exams in Total inclusing c1,c2,s1,m1,c3,c4(all of maths)- all of biology, all of chem (exept 1 exam) and just 1 physics exam.

AceYourAlevels well for example, deciding how much time to put into your strategy for a-levels rather than actually getting on with the work, i mean i got 8A*s, and i think my decision analysis skills are far better. I got 500/900 on that section, which is proof. The burden of proof is on you. I'm also currently doing degree in Mathematics and Philosophy, while i finish my degree in Medicine. Currently in my first year, however, i'm at 3rd year level at Maths, and i probably have the same amount of knowledge as a fully trained engineer.

Hi, There is always some wiggle room with schools. Show your teachers that you are serious about improving by showing them a written plan. I pestered my teachers a lot to improve my predicted grades for UCAS. Don't by shy about approaching them 2 or 3 times to show them you are determined to improve. As a last resort, get your parents to send in a letter or have them come in to speak with your teachers. I hope this helps! Raja
