Litterally so relatable. Year 13 is so much stress I have mocks in a week and I am so lost about what to revise :confused: I feel like time is going so fast Chemistry is so hard my teacher also makes really hard questions too. I really want to do my best and I still don't lnow if I am revising the right way. But same with bio it is one of my plus subjects aswell but revising all the topics together is so hard


I literally relate to everything you’re saying 😭😭😩

Same here, I do A level Chem, Bio and Geography. My Bio is going really well, but I spend so much time on Chemistry (just doesn't get into my brain) that my Geography suffers, even though it is a lot easier than any of my other subjects. I am honestly going crazy thinking about the exams in June :/


I do the same a levels and my chemistry is going so badly that I’m focussing more on that and it’s seriously affecting my geography grade even tho I have a really good chance of getting an A :/

Well the first question you need to ask yourself is if you’re understanding the content, if you aren’t that’s what you need to work on: watch allery chemistry on YouTube he explains things quite well, if it’s not the content it’s the exam questions and that comes with practise; it’s hard coz you don’t always have time with everything else but make exam questions a priority, personally I hate finding things to do especially when I’m on physics and maths tutor and there’s lots and lots of questions I’ll think to myself where do I start but do 1 set of exam questions on one section of a topic eg from physical you could do bonding or Arrhenius etc. Make it a routine hope that helps x

On school days I do 3 hours, except Friday which is my break day. On weekends I do 4 hours. I did this during mocks and got ABB in biology, chemistry and English language respectively

Fair enough I’m able to do that much on weekends but school days are much less productive

In the same position, during breaks I done 7 hours straight EVERY DAY. Trust me, motivation is just the biggest factor in removing distractions. Putting your phone in a different room helps too. All that work was cancelled out by crappy sleep schedule though because I had two mocks first day back and was sleepy af during them lol.

Not sure if there's an ACTUAL way of motivating yourself. It's just a mentality thing, I usually just force myself to sit down and put my head down to work.

Make sure to get good sleep as well. (:
