Anyone got advice for keeping everything to do with A Level further vectors inside your head? I feel like it's not super hard to apply but there's a colossal amount to remember and I'm struggling to keep it all in my head at once. Would appreciate some advice on mastering it and keeping it inside my head.

you just have to keep up with spaced repetition
keeping the revision up in small chunks at regular intervals will keep the information in longer, and move it from short term memory -> long term memory as your brain realises it needs to keep this information for use later, as its important to it
so basically, just do little and often of as many questions as you can find
go over your mistakes and analyse why you went wrong (was it just a simple error with writing the wrong number, or did you not understand it at all for example)
then you can bring steps to fix those mistakes and repeat the process
typically, the things we enjoy, are the things that we remember
so try and associate your revision in good standing; have a nice environment to be in, don't go into revision if you're in a bad mood
since you're doing FM, there should be some passion/drive to want to do maths, so that will help with that

thank you ❤️
I am in a bit of rush to get it down though amongst many other topics and my technique has been learning them in 1 sitting then doing as many questions as possible frequently to avoid forgetting them
which isn't working with further vectors because it's gigantic

i mean when's your exams
final grail
i mean when's your exams
First set of mocks is the week of the 27th and second set is week of june 22nd. Each contribute 50% to my predicted grade and teachers have no say in the predicted grade, the exams decide it
for maths specifically im doing pure up to like integration by substitution and further maths all pure up to hyperbolic functions
hollow shale
bit of bs, your teachers do have say lol
your school can do whatever they want as long as it makes sense

it's a really dumb policy in my school i didnt think they were serious either
hollow shale
they just say this to make you revise
final grail
they just say this to make you revise
i really hope so and i thought so too
but i asked the y13s and thats really how it is 😭
ngl though if my teachers did have a say they would probably lower me 💀
hollow shale
well tbf you've got enough time to revise, i wouldn't spend like 6 hours a day revising there's better things to do in life
little and often and you'll be fine
be harsh when marking to
don't jsut give yourself a mark cus you think you would've got it
final grail
little and often and you'll be fine
ive definitely learned that for when i walk out of my final mock
final grail
be harsh when marking to
will do
hollow shale
people deep revising and exams too much imo
you just revise everyday and do all the questions and boom easy A*
final grail
i remember ppl in this server telling me in y9 to not worry about revising
wish i saved that energy for this year
hollow shale
burn out is real
final grail
genuinely if i just took it slowly everyday i wouldve been fine
but my school believes in blitzkrieging content unfortunately
and now ive got less than 20 days to remember wth ive learned and get all the practice i need in
hollow shale
but my school believes in blitzkrieging content unfortunately
there is a pressure to learn content tbf
but your school will aim to have all the content done by March
final grail
there is a pressure to learn content tbf
definitely feel it
it's a really weird way of doing it though in maths. I've covered pretty much all of the 2 years of pure for the maths a level besides parametric functions, and ive done all of year 1 further pure + a quarter of year 2 but not started any modules yet
hollow shale
i did (Y12)
so a bit of a mix
final grail
wow
I guess I do prefer finishing pure because i can start practicing the y13 papers in summer atleast
could not imagine mixing all the modules though
hollow shale
true, i mean over Y12 summer i was doing quite a bit of A2 pure
so i came back having basically done the whole course
final grail
so i came back having basically done the whole course
because based on the y13s opinions my math teachers aren't the best at teaching either
hollow shale
do you recommend self-learning stats or mechanics over summer more
stats is the far easier subject
basicaly all of the module can be done on a calculator
hollow shale
how different is mechanics to physics
pretty different, physics a level doesn't really go over a whole ton of classical mechanics but there are links
like gravity, F=ma, area under graphs, resolving forces, moments
all those are the same in both
a level mechanics is just purely classical mechanics

brilliant
