freescience loses my attention QUICKLY, but if it works for you then use it. MY MAIN PROBLEM IS ANSWERING 4 MARKERS because ill only answer the equivalant of 2/3 marks and thats where its going wrong for me

Search aqa specimen gcse then whatever science
I did my GCSE's last year and I got A* in chemistry, even though the grading system is different I'm sure you could use a few of the same techniques. I found it quite useful to make notes based off the spec or when I wasn't bothered I made notes while watching videos on YouTube from freesciencelessons or primrose kitten. Also, QUESTIONS. Do loads and loads and loads of past paper questions because even if you won't get the same type of questions, the questions will be based on manipulating the knowledge, so the more questions you do, the more familiar you become with the actual information and it becomes easier to manipulate that information in the exam.

Hope this helps xx

Hey you know for your chemistry 42/100 do you know roughly what grade this got you???

Oh wow!! That is still very good then??? Because we’re the first year doing the 9-1 plus we have no isa so I think grade boundaries will be very low! Physics is just gonna make my grade drop😂😂 just do lots of past papers and get the jizz of the questions x
tbh im praying grade boundaries are as low as last years http://filestore.aqa.org.uk/over/stat_pdf/AQA-GCSE-GDE-BDY-JUN-2017.PDF
Freesciencelessons is the GOAT. Print off his flashcards, they were world class for me last year.

It'll be less, I'm guessing, how's revision going?

I honestly don’t know, I’m revising but I don’t know if any of it is going in my head and if it’ll be good enough to get high grades 🤕
