Okay, i think the best thing for u to do right now is to go over the year 12 content first. You should use a revision method that works best for YOU and will help you memorise things better whether that's watching videos, making notes etc. you can even ask ur friends to do u a favour and send you their notes and you can just revise off of that. Try to reach out to some teachers if your struggling as well.

what a levels are you doing?

It will be alright . We have the Xmas break coming up. For you to catch up.

What worked for me was flash cards
how did you do in mocks and what subjects are you doing? if you get a plan together and work hard you should be fine, it's normal to feel overwhelmed.

6 months plenty of time trust me . I’ve been there . What a levels are you doing ?

I would get the textbook out . Write flash cards like summarise . Look at the flash cards each day . And test yourself at the end of the week with exam questions etc. But it depends on the subject .

Don’t cry stay positive ! That’s part of the battle with a levels !

I’ve done bio for the past 4 years lol ( long story ) my advice would be to get the cgp revision guide . Write notes in flash card form. Make sure you revisit notes every week . Then do exam practise every weekend. What board ? I’m doing aqa . Got a B last year was resitting as I got a C originally CAGs messed me up so Yh 4thyear :frown:

I did chem I didn’t do well so I dropped it . But I know some of my friends who did well. Chem is a different approach it’s more practise based . I would go on YouTube to watch YouTube videos on Chem there are some really good channels like ERintol then go straight to exam questions

Omg 4 years did u drop out in year 13 I just have no idea what I’m doing my school is not helpful not at I’m just struggling idk what I came into year 13 with three U’s and after Xmas only have 4 topics for year 13 chem

If you need help with bio and you can always dm me. I’m a bit rusty but getting back into revision .

no :frown: got bad grades first time . Resat I got AAB missed my offer by 1. So here we are :frown: my bio teacher gave me the b when I needed an A:frown:


watch YouTube for chem it’s really useful honestly !

What did U get first time cuz I’m getting D’s now and I’m worried if I fail my Jan mocks what would I do Im worried or knowledge is lacking
