Do you actually think you’ll achieve them?

How is revision technique relevant for grades you have not yet achieved? Surely revision is more relevant for actually fulfilling your predictions?

For maths the best thing for me was past papers and practice papers online, at one point I was doing 7 a day and so every single question in my predictor paper I had seen before but with different numbers. Economics was a bit harder, I use the CGP for general knowledge of topics but the econplusdal revision books for essay content.

sure, once you have offers. Not saying predictors are more important overall, for the application process it is a huge factor

I'm confident with Maths and Further Maths, Econ is maybe like 60% confidence and doubt I will achieve Physics

Well hello, you're doing exactly the same subjects as me so I could really do with this thread. What are your revision resources? What exam boards are you with? How do you manage the EPQ? Thank you for making this thread :smile:

I'm probably weakest in Physics (I want to do Economics at university but I'm also quite strong in Maths, I got the best in my year in GCSE).

No problem!
I'll list it out as Subject-Board-Resources

Maths-Edexcel-Past Papers, Zigzag papers, CRASH Maths, Physics and Maths tutor questions
FurtherM-Edexcel-Same as above
Economics-OCR-CGP Guide, Econplusdal analysis and evaluation packs(highly recommend, PM me), past papers
Physics-OCR B (hate the course)-honestly the CGP guide is amazing and of course past papers for practice
EPQ is all about documenting how you manage your time and any changes in approach you have along the way so just keep a small diary to note things down that you can mention so you dont forget!

Very same! Thanks for the help above, your exam boards are a bit different but I will make sure to check out the Econplusdahl resource pack, and follow general advice, thanks a lot :smile:

. Good luck.

mechanics as in the stuff that overlaps with a-level maths? honestly practice as many questions as you can after learning the theory from your textbook or CGP guide, that always works for me
