A*/A physics A-level students

I'm doing A-level physics as well as chemistry maths and AS biology .
My question is how do you revise for physics? I really want an A but everytime I do a past paper I lose so many marks and it's the worded questions in the unit 4 AQA paper that are the biggest problems...

See past exam question, copy the mark scheme answer. Ingrain statement in your head. Full marks if comes up.

But most of the time the questions aren't repeated:confused:
That Unit 4 paper is a real killer: try to get as many marks as possible in the multi-choice section as it's worth 33% of the paper. These questions are rather repetitive and will have come up in previous papers. Regarding section B: learn the concepts behind the formulae that you need to use. If you do this, you will be able to successfully answer these questions. The essay-style questions are the real problem, BUT you should have done a similar experiment in class (maybe as a PSV). Try to learn the methods (the majority of experiments are proving the inverse square law).
Unit 4 is a very demanding paper, so don't be too worried if you don't do as well in it as you would like. Also, when you do a past paper, use the AQA raw to UMS converter to give you an indication of your grade (for June 2014 71% raw was an A and 81% was an A*).
