Learning Stuff : Excelling at A levels

I love graphic design and building websites. Although this is usually to make money, I'm using it to help my schoolwork.

To get AAA, my plan is currently:

1. Buy an excessive amount of textbooks from Amazon/TheBookDepository
   
2. Read The books written by the examiners
3. Condense these books down by rewriting them in my own words in publisher/fireworks
4. Get these mini books and read each one of them 50 times.
5. Use other books for bits I don't understand.
6. Make FlashCards with questions and answers from the Mini-Books

Exam Practice  - After all information is taken in and flashcards are scoring high:

1. Get all past papers printed and stapled.
   
2. Go through each past paper and attempt them.
   
3. Write the real answers on the back of every question from the mark scheme.
   
4. Research the areas that I seem to not be excelling in.
   
5. Make new mini flashcards by cutting & laminating the now completed pastpapers.
   
6. Get a friend to test me.
   
7. Use a Personal Tutor to boost any areas I don't quite get (my last bill = £230)
   

This will be updated as I learn new methods and discover how my mind performs best.
