Hey I haven't actually done the exams yet but I'm going for an A* (fingers crossed) and I'm doing this:
Chemistry
For chem, I use Snaprevise to learn content before the lesson (helps me understand the lesson better- chem isn't my strongest subject)! When I revise, I go back over the videos and I use chemrevise and Dr Boes notes for revision. When I have understand the content, I learn and memorise it! Next, I apply my knowledge. I go to the OCR textbook to see if I have left anything out. I then do the OCR Summary Questions and have a flick through the CGP ones! Then, I go to PMT and do the past paper questions by topic! Finally, I do the Practice Questions in the textbook for the new spec, mark them and go over any I have got wrong!

Taken from another post hope it helps! How do you revise?:smile:
