Hiya,

I'm in yr 13 now but I got A*s in my GCSE sciences.

- Learn the definitions (lots of easy marks!) Look at past papers to get the exact wording.

-Practice using and rearranging equations so that you're comfortable with the and can recognise when to use each one.

-Practice interpreting graphs and basic data calculations that may trip you up.

-Do as many practice questions as possible. I made a notebook of all the common questions and model answers, highlighting necessary words and phrases. Practice some application questions from other exam boards, this will help you to prepare for unexpected questions.

-look at the specification to see exactly what you're supposed to know/be able to do. Use youtube videos, friends, teachers to fill in any gaps.

Hope this helps :smile:
