Are 6 months enough to study for 5 AS-Levels?
« on: November 07, 2011, 07:23:55 pm »
Due to events out of my control I am left with 6 months till the June AS-Level examinations...I just want to get a generalized opinion on whether 6 months are enough or will it be a wasted effort. I consider anything below a "B" a wasted effort.

My subjects:
AS-Level

Biology
Chemistry
Physics
Maths
English Language

All CIE.
A healthy colon is the key to life.

:P

By the way how many months before the exam should I start solving past papers?

I suggest from my personal experience ... to start from around 3 months before starting of the exams.

Seriously 6 months for these 5 subjects aren't enough! The syllabus is very lengthy. But if you think that you can study hard enough, i.e. day and night, then go for it but I won't recommend it.

Also this will affect your health too. This type of study gives extreme tension. So be realistic and do think really hard over this decision. :)

Good Luck! :)

Why do you want to be in such a hurry ? To retake them again after six months ? ::)

Continuous efforts matter more than the outcome.

Biology may be vast but the concept isn't hard to understand, imo. :)
