4. Understand Your Strengths and Weaknesses Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. Maybe you are very good at waking up early and revising but you are not so good at staying up at night? Or exactly the other way around? You need to understand yourself and your body in order to be a successful student. You need to know what studying methods are working for you - this will be very individual and it will take a lot of trial and error on your part. Take any feedback you get from your tutors and your friends constructively and work on internalising new ways of working. It is really important to make use of your strengths and try to work on improving your weaknesses and turning them into strengths! 5. Work on Your Exam Technique Ultimately, the most important measure to being a successful A Level student is doing well in exams - this is mostly what you will be graded on and one of the most important factors in being admitted to university. A very important thing is to become familiar with what your exams look like - get your hands on as many past papers as you can and analyse what the questions are like. You will do a lot of past paper work in your class with your teachers before your exams, but it is good to get a head start on this and start working on your exam technique as soon as possible. Try asking some of the older students for exam technique tips, they often have creative ideas. 21 ...Top Tips for Sixth Form Students
