do you or does your school provide educake? if they do, use it. fastest and easiest way to assure that youve got all the content in your head.
if they don't, i suppose you could run through the chemistry specification for the parts you need to know, and use that as a checklist, or create questions out of it.
nooo unfortunately i dontttt

For chem, here are my tips:
- Revise your practicals! At least one of them is bound to come up and if you have revised them, you will secure those marks at the very least!
- Find practice questions that are 5-6 markers, these questions are where most students tend to lose marks on, so I recommend finding some on PMT or MME revise or any exam-based workbook you have.
- If you have a doubt, always always clear it! Sometimes, people have confusions and doubts about the topic they study, but they just ignore it - it might come up in the exam, so make sure you're confident with the entire topic/topics before your exam!
- Use the specification to go through topics and note down the ones you aren't confident in, you need to go through these later.
- Resources I use for science: Cognito, freesciencelessons, PMT and MME revise

I hope that helps and good luck!

Heya!
Make sure to do practice under exam conditions and then mark your work using the mark scheme :h: Identify why you are losing marks and how you can improve your answers. If it helps, Study mind has lots of free resources that can help you out!

I hope this helps!
