    Need some advice
    So i just want some opinions on whether my method of revision is efficient enough and will it get me the A's Fingers crossed!

    I've got both chem units,bio units,econ and m1 from next week

    I've done all bio unit 1 and chem unit 1 papers now doing exam topic questions. I'm yet to start papers for unit 2!!!!Am i too late?? The exams on 21st and 23rd!! I ve done m1 papers from 2001 till now now doing topic by topic questions so see where am going wrong!!

    am too late with my unit 2 subjects plus i've only done 2 unit 2 economic papers!
    The stress is clearly getting to me now!

    Anyone in the same situation as me? Feel free to share! hopefully am not the only one!

    It's never too late - tbh so long as you know all the relative theory behind all the questions, you can get away with only doing a couple of past papers, if you can It's useful in terms of exam technique so you get used to the style of the questions/marking - but be careful because they can catch you out, if they decide to suddenly change the layout! (happened with my Core 3 maths exam in Jan )

    wow I wish I revised like you at AS, i only got round to doing my chem unit 2 past papers the day before the actual exam, i got a C overall, but if I'd started as early as you, I would (like to think) have obtained a much higher grade. So don't worry you look like you're on track for getting As
