My teacher is far from good and we're yet to finish the content. It has came down to having to self teach the content to myself, I wish I done it earlier.

im currently doing a lot ( and i mean a lot) of past papers. our school gave us 4 booklets (one for each unit) with all the exam questions (they're thick booklets)
im learning the mark schemes as i go and i;ve noticed that 60%+ of the questions are the exact same just worded differently!

im working of the how science works questions cos i find them the hardest but im hoping the grade boundaries will be low!!!

my teacher is really bad, i basically taught my self from easter onwards. I'm scared cos i started half hearted revision november time but i forgot everything cos i didn't go back to it. I've made several attempts at starting revision but id constantly wanna go thru the spec in order and then give up so I've done carbohydrates 7000 times. i have english in the morning and bio in the afternoon of tomorrow. fam I'm gonna flop cos i have chem the next day so i have to pull an all nighter for that i haven't learnt the definitions, so I'm screwed. came on here for advice, what would y'all do in my position? I'm telling myself ill try harder in paper 2 but i don't want it to drag me too down. i just need an E to carry the courses onto A2 but i want at least C's. All year I've been a consistent U grade student no matter how much i revise for it so it was demotivating and bare people like my fam keep dying of cancer although id never blame them my mental health is suffering too help!!!!

I am in the same situation what I find helps is go through mark schemes of papers writing answers on cue cards then just learn them
