How to best revise for physics AS exam, just the mechanics one fine on other, when our teacher has missed out about half the unit and when I very much struggle to get my head around mechanics and the teacher never answers any of our questions.

Also how best to revise for a music AS exam when last year for GCSE my revision techniques for music just didn't work at all and I have no idea how to, especially with remembering all the specific details of all the pieces.

Lets start with Physics, you'd probably be best to (sorry repeating what I said above) find some exam papers, find out what the exam specification is and with whom (AQA etc...) and then google this, look at past papers and see what kind of things they ask. Revise for similar items and then just keyword each, have little flip books to flick through once or twice before you go to sleep at night.

Music AS exams are a bit more difficult per say (in my opinion), what was the last techniques that you used? I'd say again as above, find past exam papers and have a look at the types of questions, flip books work the best with sections summarised each time.

Last time it was mainly just listening to set works trying past questions and reading revision guides for music at gcse, problem is the pieces change each year at AS so there aren't actually any past papers or any specimen papers for that

You'll probably get revision sessions in school for this, but also start during the end of April at the latest, take it easy as it will go in to your head easier. Start by building little blocks of information up and then gradually you'll start remembering everything.

Ah I see, well you could always ask your teacher for advice on this as they will have some sort of clue as to what may be happening in future exams. This is a tricky one if it changes, but see if you can spot a 'trend' and then work from that.

Seen any past papers? Similar response to above (I'm more ICT/Computing qualified) so pretty much similar feedback to what I gave to the above posters. Sorry

When's a good time to start revising for A/S and how many hours should I be putting in daily?

Now... as many as you can fit.

Shouldn't I be slightly worried of over-doing it? Isn't there something like you only learn for around 30 minutes, then you need to take a break then continue etc. etc.
