4 weeks till AS exams and I think I'm going to fail 2/3 subjects

I have around 4 weeks until my first AS exam, and I'm really worried I'm going to fail. I've already resat the first year of A-Levels because of problems at my first sixth form. I'm doing AQA Physics, Edexcel Maths and OCR Computer Science, if anyone has any suggestions about how to revise for mainly Physics and Computer Science - it would be greatly appreciated. Maths is the only subject I feel really confident in. I have to get at least a D grade to do year 2 and I don't even feel like I'll get that :/

Idk about computer science but for physics the papers usually consist of about 60% equations and putting numbers in and the rest is theory. Make sure to learn the vital bits of theory, I’m doing OCR physics so I don’t know how different the syllabus is but try looking through your specification and going through each point then going through past papers and make sure you fully understand when you’re marking them. Good luck

Yea, i'll log on and let you know how it went (I'm a retired veteran TSRian LOL, so I'll probably be dead for a while)
