    I'm sitting both Unit 2 and 3 on the 30th and it's only in the last few days that I've began some really hardcore revision. Unit 2 past papers look OK. Definitely the most interesting science GCSE, I think!

    I found it OK. There were some questions I struggled with purely down to a lack of revision and I forgot how to work out the second part of the titration calculation.

    Same. I'm OK with Unit 2 but I know practically nothing about Unit 3 so I'm going to have to revise hardcore over the next 5 days.

    I honestly don't know. They definitely give you some that much is sure. You are probably better looking through past papers (which you should be doing anyway to maximise your revision ) and see what which equations tend to come up.

    we get given ALL the equation! cos they say 'use the equation to help you', you just need to remember the units.
    such a relief! cos there are soooo many equations

    And also remember whether things are measured in metres/centimetres, grams/kilograms, joules/kilojoules, etc. Because sometimes in past papers they sneakily give you a calculation and they only give you the figures in minutes or something, and so many people forget to change it into seconds! It's a really easy mistake so make sure you know them

    I really do not like circuits and electricity. It all just seems so horribly boring and tedious to revise, and I have to always fight off a massive urge to just skip the chapter entirely.

    I'm aiming for all high grades and got a B in my mocks with very little revision, so hopefully Tuesday will be ok!
