Year 12 - How to support?

[CornishGem1975]

My DD has had her first report through based on the past half term and it's fine, target grade this year is a B but we're conscious of not leaving study and revision etc to last minute. She needs As to get onto the courses she wants to do.

Anyone got any tried and tested tips or advice? She's willing to put the time in and study but we need to put a plan together for this and not sure where to start as it's a bit different to GCSE revision so would welcome any helpful advice or signposting to useful resources.

Maths/Science or Essay based? Advice may differ.

Science based.

I expect people with more up to date info will be along in a while, but with science I think there is a lot of benefit of doing tonnes of practice questions. You can think you understand the theory but when you do the questions you realise you don't.

(I remember 'proving' that dynamos for lights on bicycles don't work when I was doing A level physics).

Which sciences? Honestly at A-level, the advice is to some extent subject specific, so it's hard to help that much if you don't share which subjects are involved.

That said, for all sciences, I do think practising past paper questions as much as possible is important and can be the difference between an A and a B. How are her maths skills?
