Concentrate on magnetism and read the specification. Make sure you are well informed on all the topic areas and sub-areas in the specification - it really helped me recognise my strengths and weaknesses. Good luck!
(areas in bold are in paper 2, so concentrate on the non-bold areas for now)
Hows everyone feeling about tomorrow's exam?
Do I have enough time to learn all the content by tomorrow? I'm freaking out

Same,,, ive gored physics tbh,,, reckon It's worth doing an all nighter to revise? I don't think its possible to learn the whole content thoroughly otherwise

Trust me you do. my brother is doing his exam tomorrow as well and i did mine last year. i was averaging about a C/D in physics. i was literally panicking the day before. like honestly i was so stressed, i was crying because i really wanted a good grade but i was so bad at it. at about 8 the day before i started revising for the first time. i had the cgp textbook and just read it for 2 hours. i was so stressed in bed and i couldnt sleep. when my mum dropped me off i revisied a bit in the car. i walked into the exam not feeling confident whatsoever. i walked out panicking i thought i had ****ed up. results day i found out i got 95% overall A*. My brotehr however has been revising since january so im sure he'll be fine. but best of luck and dont be stressed have a bath or do exercise or something to release your stress and tension

I'm averaging an A at the moment. I really want your grades at GCSE was most your revision last minute?

I'm no expert at Science, but maybe try using youtube videos as a guide? There are usually a variety of revision videos about different topics out there!
If anyone wants the CGP textbook pdf it's here. Good luck, it really is the best invention on earth, just 30 pages!!!

And this one is really important too:

Any ideas what might come up? I'm so scared ahaha :-/ physics is literally my worst subject I'm just hoping for an A
I reckon the loudspeaker might come up.. hasn't come in a while. Electromagnetism always has the crappy questions...
I think it'll be similar to the May/Jan 2012 exams since both Bio and Chem were recycled from 2012...
