This leaves APPROXIMATELY ONE MONTH for your own revision and to fill in gaps. You can use this to spend time on certain lessons if you wish.
EXAM SEASON BEGINS! Please find exam dates as they are released here.
Colleges have at least 4.5 hours of lessons a week (with additional homework). Don't expect to understand everything after an hour!
The jump from content to exam is high. We practice exam questions during each marked assessment, but we still want to leave at least one month for full mock exams at the end!
