What was your biggest challenge during A-Levels?

"Well, I didn't really take my GCSEs seriously at all, and, to make things worse, I didn’t even take history at GCSE. So, at the start of my A-Level journey, I was trying to figure out how to revise effectively, especially for history, because I hadn’t done it before. Meanwhile, it seemed like everyone else was racing ahead of me. On top of that, I had to deal with the huge jump from Year 11 to Year 12 that nobody seems to warn you about."

How did StudyStash impact your daily revision routine?

"StudyStash became an integral part of my revision routine. I was able to learn the content much faster by regularly doing flashcard sessions on specific topics. All I had to do was provide my own notes, and the AI tool would do the rest for me. In minutes, I had a set of flashcards on a topic I needed to learn, and I could review them whenever I found the time. Once I felt more confident, I’d ask the AI tool to generate a test so I could assess myself, identify the topics that needed the most work, and strengthen my understanding."

Did using StudyStash affect your confidence in anyway?

"Absolutely! At first, I was reluctant to contribute in class because I saw myself as someone who couldn’t add much and felt I was at the bottom of the class. However, after using StudyStash and seeing my grades and test results improve steadily, I found myself participating more in class and growing more confident in presenting my ideas. This newfound confidence helped me outside the classroom as well, as I was given opportunities to deliver talks both externally and at school."

Closing Quote

How did you handle stress and did StudyStash help with that?

"Stress was, and still is, a big part of my A-level journey. I remember panicking about my UCAS exams, not knowing how to revise, and giving up time and time again. However, thanks to the people around me and StudyStash, I was able to develop a system that works for me. As soon as I started learning the content, I felt more confident in myself, and the stress gradually decreased."

How much did you use StudyStash and would you recommend to others?

"When I discovered StudyStash, it became my main resource for revision. I made notes on it and converted those notes into flashcards. To be honest, I didn’t need to use anything else, and I don’t think I could go back! StudyStash is an amazing resource that I would recommend to everyone. You can use it for everything - from notes and mind maps to flashcards and even topic tests. The way it uses AI helps you not just get through exams but actually learn from the material!"
