for the sciences, I would recommend Cognito videos for concepts you do not recall or just for revision, I think theyre really concise and useful.
•
I would also recommend the CGP revision guides and taking notes from them / making flashcards
•
the revision guides also come with online quizzes, which cover everything and are super useful
•
I also use Seneca revision, which is super useful as it has all the content, videos and quizzes

once you have consolidated your knowledge, your best bet is doing past paper questions over and over. Physics and Maths tutor has past papers, and has questions by topic.

for the language and structure analysis question, I would make sure to make an equal amount of language and structure points. for example, in my 12 marker , I do 2 language and 2 structure paragraphs to show breadth go textual knowledge.
•
for the big text comparison question, I would start off with an introduction laying out what you are going to say. for my ocr exam board, I am required to evaluate and compare, so I would say something like,, 'I mostly agree with this statement, that ..... (rephrasing the statement given). however, I am unable to fully agree, because text one suggests this more powerfully(or more whatever the statement says) than text two' or vice versa. this usually gives the examiner a clear overview of what you're going to say, and will help you maintain a cohesive argument in your essay. my essay is 18 marks, so I proceed to write 3 big comparative paragraphs, with explanations of the technique, its effect and its impact on the reader. make sure to include at least one paragraph of agreement and one of disagreement, and one more of whether you are mostly agreeing or disagreeing.
•
for the creative writing pieces , I would recommend developing a few plots before the exams, that can sort of fit into any narrative title, the exam board will usually give pretty broad titles, so if you have a few plots, one of them will almost definitely fit into the title you are given.

hope thats okay!
