Yea^ someone in sixth form revised for it the night before and got an 8 but I'm wondering what to do?

I don't think that I have time to do past papers?

There's no point scolding me as that doesn't change anything. Also I know it's still possible to achieve an 8 in these circumstances but it all depends on how smart I tackle this.

What should I do please?


What I really advice u to do is to only go over the topics which u know are easy to learn or u are good at then u can try tackling the harsh topics after. Or if u feel that u don't have a choice divide ur time accordingly and revise a couple of topics then take short periods of breaks between so that u don't stress. When u went over all the topics to ensure u are ready attempt a past paper or atleast some questions so that u know u are on the right track. Other than that GOOD LUCK 😉

Managed to revise (and learn lots of) waves completely and jog my memory on magnetism.
I know space as we just did it and forces I’m good at.
Just practicals tomorrow morning.
What has everyone else done?

I'm on a different exam board to you I think- I've done all of radiation, waves, contamination and irridation etc. Am doing energy transfer right now and need to do transformers wiring in the home

I neglected it because it was the last exam- I've done all of p4 but need to do energy and global challenges-these are more common sense so will just do seneca! Eeek frightened for RESULTS DAY

Use free sciences lessons, it’s really really concise and has everything you need for a 9. The playlists are set out so you are motivated as you get through the videos quickly. I made revision cards for every video and learnt waves in like an hour and a half? I didn’t know like half the content.
