GCSE- How to revise for science in a month?

I stupidly did not take science seriously at all, I am doing AQA foundation science and I need to know nearly all B1, B2, C1, C2, P1 & P2 in a month or two. Is there any way I can do this? I don't really know how to revise for science :/

This is so possible. Start by condensing the information into notes then as a lot of years repeat or have similar questions, past papers past papers past papers!
Don't worry too much.

I forgot about my physics GCSE until the night before when I checked my timetable.

Use the my-sciencegcse man. He is a GOD.

Do lots of practice papers and make sure you learn the specification.

Good luck!
do a few practice papers and then note down all of the areas you really don't understand. then id suggest constructing mind maps for all of these topics... use the internet or revision books. stick them on your wall or something so you see them every day. if your school uses GCSEPod, thats really useful too!
From experience, id say that the hardest modules out of those are C1 and P1. But i suppose thats down to preference. Seriously though, you defo have enough time to save yourself... keep plugging away and it'll be worth it when you get your results! hope it goes well!

Yes :frown: At about seven that night.. Luckily it was for the separate science unit and so there were only four units. I did the first three that night and learnt the fourth one the next morning on the train to school....

Yeah xD I've never understood how people can start months before an exam. Surely you get bored of going over the sane things again and again? And how do you remember it when you did it ages before the exam xD

Exactly! Earliest I've ever started proper revision is a week before.

I've tried with that guy but when I watched the videos it doesn't stay in my head, is there anything I should do while watching the video or something?

Make notes? Do the exercises he does as he does them, so you can check how you're doing as he goes along.
