What do i do now. 8 weeks till Bio and Chem A level

Hi,

Time is flying. I have 8 weeks, less than 50 days till my A levels in bio and chem. I do a lot of past papers and questions and I still seem to be getting just about C in both subjects. I need and want an A. For chemistry an A is 80 marks, I tend to get 50. For bio, an A is 65, and I tend to get 45. What can i do? Please I need real advice. That will genuinely boost my grades. Please help me

Heya!
When you do past papers, I would recommend doing them under \exam conditions' and then going through the mark scheme thoroughly Identify WHY you are losing the marks and how you can improve your answers. You could also make flashcards out of the questions you didn't score well in! If it helps, Study Mind has lots of free resources from revision notes to past papers + mark schemes.

I hope this helps!

Thanks. But i have noticed that the study mind questions are exactly the same to pmt

Thanks, guys, I know the real reason why i am not improving is that i don't know the content well, especially for biology. The reason why i feel like i should not go over the content is that time is running out and ive heard that i should do as many past papers and learn the content through that, as questions repeat. Can you guys give me some advice on how i can learn content quickly and make it stick, as well as do past papers

Sorry but that just sounds very bizarre..

How are you feasibly going to learn content just from looking at and memorising mark schemes? It makes sense to only do this after you have covered the content

You're right. I was living in my own world. Any advice on how i can learn content with minimum time and have time to do past papers

...ive heard that i should do as many past papers and learn the content through that, as questions repeat...

yh youve gone through all those past papers, look at all the questions you got wrong, identify why if its a lapse of knowledge note down the topic.

go over the content in ways you can remember, learning isn't this magical pill you can take u have to figure out what works for you yourself. try noting down key point in the topic then coming a day or two later write on a piece of paper what you remeber and mark it against your notes
