How to achieve A* in all GCSE's?

My first exams are on the 3rd of June so I have 3 months and haven't yet begun studying, I'm with the WJEC bored and as I'm in year 10 haven't experienced external examinations before. If anyone has had good GCSE results (Which I would prefer if you stated) can you give me your advice and tips and ip you're currently in university what you're studying, Thank you

    I got 10 A* and 2 A grades at GCSE.

    The best thing to do is to work out what your best way of revising is, as everyone is different. Personally I write all of my notes out and then read over them again and again, whilst other people prefer to make mind maps and flash cards, or record themselves speaking and they listen to it.

    Plan your revision in advance and try not to cram it all in at the end. Working with a group of friends and asking each other questions is something that I find helpful as you are learning from them but even if you are asking the question you will still be thinking about answers.

    Once you have done all of your notes and remember them you should do plenty of past papers. This is what is going to help you get the best marks as you can put your knowledge into practise and it allows you to learn exactly what it is that examiners are looking for.

    Well all your revision can be done in 3 months, be confident in yourself!

    There are those basic ideas such as flash cards, record yourself saying what you need to learn and then listen to it over and over again or you could...

    >get a piece of paper and write down the most important stuff, if your attracted to colours then use those

    > the most effective way to remember stuff is by writing it down so it is embedded in your mind, so you could write stories or what i do is write song lyrics to a catchy tune

    >you could create paper cubes so you can write information on it and then roll the cube/dice and see where it lands

    >revision sites are helpful to, just make sure the website is giving the correct information

    >previous test papers are one of the bestest ways to revise to

    >if your school does revision clubs it would be helpful to go to those too

    (sorry for all the tips)

    work your butt off, always turn up to lesson, revise like crazy, make sure youre books are organised and you learn everything as you go, especially in maths languages and physics, develop english skills (read constantly) and generally have no social life.
