To answer your first question, try this technique, which has psychologically been proven effective for revision. It’s known as the 10minute rule where you tell yourself to only conduct 10 minutes of work and give up after that if you want. This in turn tricks your brain into getting started (which is probably the hardest part). After those 10 minutes are up,  you’re more inclined to do more as you’ve already got started. Also try having your equipment well arranged so revision becomes more appealing for you. Furthermore, make the activities fun, try to not just read off the textbook but explore different techniques for revision to see your favoured style. And as for English A levels, I would personally suggest working on at least 1 essay a week, but two would be optimal. Hope this helps!

English

How should i motivate myself to revise and keep on top of my notes? And in particular, how should i revise for English liteeature A level? Thanks

Interesting question!

There is no correct answer to this but it really depends on what you feel is appropriate for your future. Don’t get me wrong, both can get you into university(if you want to)! College will provide you with all the fundamental knowledge you need for your select subject. On the other hand, apprenticeships are good for preparing you for that work field as it give you all the necessary training you require for that specific field, and maybe even a job placement! Sorry this isn’t the best of answers but I hope it helps!

What is better, an apprenticeship or going to college?

Well it depends on what field your looking to go into. Psychology branches off into many different sectors but work experience for psychology would mainly come from working in clinical based environments. But to be honest, universities will look for your ability to conduct a study and how well you can approach a problem. That’s my tip for you. Hope it helps!

Psychology

What kind of work experience can you get for psychology?

If music is what you love, go for it. Keep practicing and get yourself involved with music placements and apprenticeships if possible. That way it will allow you to network with others in the field you enjoy! If you end up changing your mind, you can always keep it as a close hobby and when it comes to CV’s and Personal statements for university, you can put that in to show how much of a well rounded person you are! Hope this helps!

Music

I love Music, like it's the only subject i enjoy in school but don't know what career to pursue using that skill. Any ideas?

Love can be described, in my opinion, as a feeling, sensation or belief that one may feel. It’s not only the emotion that you feel for another person but can deep down be a passion or gratification. Sorry that my answer isn’t the best but I hope it helps!

Can someone try to describe or explain LOVE??

Chemistry may seem hard, but when you put your mind to it, it all comes together with one click. Now what your looking for is that click in the different topics. I would recommend that you do LOADS of past papers from your specification, and also try physics and maths tutor for topic-by-topic past papers. Remember that practice makes perfect. Feel free to contact me for specific questions on chemistry if you need to and I’ll be happy to explain. Good luck! Hope this helps!!

Chemistry

How should i revise for chemistry A level? The AS exams are in a few months and i feel like i dont know anything.

These elements in are the first period in the d-block. They don’t only form +2 oxidation numbers but can go even higher. But if your trying to say why are they all having a 2+ ion in common, the simple answer is that they all experience a loss of two electrons and no less. As they are in between group 2 and group 3 of the periodic table, it makes sense for all of them to form the 2+ ion. Hope this helps!!

Why are all of the first row transition elements form an ion with the oxidation state +2?

Depends where you are departing from! Please specify

Personally, I would recommend that you do past papers and DEFINITELY look at the mark scheme to compare what you said to the mark scheme. Past paper practice is one of the most fundamental ways of revision no matter what the subject, so that you keep repeating questions with different context, until you learn from your mistakes. Hope this helps!

As I play as a goalkeeper from time to time, I would personally recommend stock from Adidas. The proved significant grip with the ball and also allow far reach without having to injure yourself with hard shots. Hope this helps!!
