Preparing for A-levels

I'm studying the following subjects: Maths, Business Studies, Accounting and Law. Therefore, my pointers would mainly revolve around these subjects :)

1. Get minimum one file for each subject and fill them up with papers.
2. Remember, books are expensive so, save up for those, too.
3. There is no particular book for each subject although there are endorsed texts which can be found in www.cie.org.uk
4. Books published by Cambridge University Press are encouraged to be bought.
5. Be sure to do a lot of reading and updating of notes from time to time.
6. There will be more flexibility in time now, so manage your time wisely.
7. Surf the net for extra resources. Relevant sites are listed in the above mentioned site.
8. Maximise class time. Revise and read ahead of class. Ask questions and note down important points along the way.
9. Don't rely on lecturers' notes only. Think outside the box. Read relevant books to widen perspective and increase depth in the subject.
10. Apply that knowledge into your daily life. See the world in a whole new light. Make sense of what you learn by running through it with examples of your surroundings.
