so the techniques I find useful are
-mindmaps, so let's say I'm doing a chapter on the heart I'll try and make a mindmap(A3 paper) with all the info from the chapter the key parts, words, cycles...anything u think will be useful, then after that, i try and summaries the chapter on an A4 paper then after that I try and shrink all the KEY IMPORTANT ideas on a couple of flashcards
-another way is to teach somebody or study with them so....if u have a younger sibling or parent just try and teach them I cant guarantee they like it but I find it helps me :smile: I even once got my nan to listen to me (she doesn't understand English lol)
lastly, try TO UNDERSTAND and NOT MEMORIES
if u understand a concept and u cant recall all the info it doesn't matter the thing that matters is that u understand once u do it will come automatically to u
also, best of luck wish me luck too:smile:

if u need any help my doors open :smile:

thank you :smile: ur most welcome
ahh experiments their really tricky since u don't to practicals
the way I go about them is I first look up a practical on youtube then I try and understand EACH different step and what happens I write instructions with all the info I learnt via books and vids so when I come back to revise I have everything I need (by the way this is for chemistry)
also, try and do a couple of easy practicals eg i bought universal indicator paper from Amazon for about a pound and did a couple tests on household items another experiment u could do is chromography...so on sometimes even just doing random experiments maybe not to do with ur spec is good so u understand its not a theory its real the biggest problem i find ppl who do igcsse have is that they its a theory which its not.

obviously, for investigation, u have corms to follow

hope it helps :smile:
