Left revision tooooo late and need all a's at as

Hi everyone,
I asked a similar question a while back, and still not much progress. I study bio, chem maths (stats) and psychology. I have my AS exams in 3 weeks and i have only revised Bio( not fully). Ive done some maths C1 papers today but im really far behind and very stressed. Teachers all say i am capable of getting the A's, but how can I work hard effectively in these three weeks??. I want no regrets either 😭. Someone help? Thank you! X

yea it was. math,english ,film/media, history, but i guess there are just basics. prob wouldnt be able to do that in chem or bio
I was in your situation 2 years ago for AS, and also last year for A2 and now i'm back in the same position for my gap year resits...lol.
Math, Bio, Chem. I need AAB-ABB. I got ABCD for AS and BBC for A2.
There's a gd chance you can pull it off god willing, but it all depends on the person, everyone's different.

thank you!! good luck for your exams!
Try to do every past paper for every subject you have, this means you will learn very good exam technique and will get many of the data interpretation marks (which often don't require you to have learnt as much content). If you find you have finished them all, then do them all again, this will help you further memorise how to write answers like in the mark scheme. Also, by doing many past papers you will by default memorise some content. Whilst doing this, try to concise your notes as much as possible and memorise them the boring way - writing them out many times. Also, youtube will help you memorise things by seeing them in a different format. With maths you will most certainly get the best grade by doing past papers over and over again, making notes for maths is useless as long as you memorise all the formulas you need to know that aren't in the data booklet. Whilst going through past papers, you'll spot that many questions come up again and again, so make sure you understand these well because they're guaranteed marks. good luck!
