Sorry you've not had any responses about this. :frown: Are you sure you've posted in the right place? :smile: Here's a link to our subject forum which should help get you more responses if you post there. :redface:

You can also find the Exam Thread list for A-levels here and GCSE here. :dumbells:


Just quoting in Puddles the Monkey so she can move the thread if needed :h:

Spoiler

hi do you have any tips or notes please let me know if you have!
Almost done with all my flashcards! Then let the memorizing and binging markschemes begin :h: Anyone on OCR A? Cant w8 2 b a guinea pig x
I'm doing as many papers for physics as possible there's no time for notes any more:bawling:
chemistry I havnt even done anything for:frown:
biology is just torture:bricks:
so yh its not exactly going as I planned:broken:
Bad. Past paper questions are annoying as hell! :angry:
Past papers for chemistry are taking ages and yeah biology content still not yet completely solid. Otherwise not too bad, but doing all 3 sciences comes with this extra burden

I know exactly what you mean, im going through a similar problem. I failed my physics mock and biology is borderline. I feel like I have to do so much in such a short amount of time. this year has gone a tad worse than I first expected it to be

Its a blessing for some and a curse for others. there I heaps to learn and it takes up 99.9% of your time, even though I have been doing my best, its just not working, I don't know what to do now, I don't want to drop any of them either.

All going fairly well. Finished my detailed notes in Chemistry and Physics. Not even finished content in Biology in school yet (which is worrying) and my teacher isn't the greatest. So, looking at covering what we have left in Biology, which is biodiversity, before may.

I also need to condense all of my notes which should take roughly a day per subject.

That gives me 4 days to finish all of bio and condense all of my notes, not looking very likely!

I have quite a few notes to condense as well, hopefully we get it done with time to spare! *fingers crossed* Good Luck!

Hi, I'm doing OCR A Physics but AQA Chemistry - I'm finding the content fine and I've pretty much finished revising all that, but what I'm having trouble with is the "practical" questions and general lack of information and past papers on the new spec. Don't know if you're the same?
Why are we doing this to ourselves :cry: :cry: :cry: gonna fail these new specs tbh

Same here. Annoying this is with GCSE I saw improvement but now it's just fluctuating but mainly all bad.

Practicals: I tend to make notes on what we do in class and remember every detail of what was taught that lesson, and try to apply it to the question.
