i lost my biology notes, what should i do? (gcse)

over a week ago, my notes went missing. i looked but assumed they'd turn up and they didn't. i had a proper look over last week but they've vanished into thin air.these are the notes on paper 2, which i have a mock for at the end of February. i don't know the content well, so those notes would have been useful- what should i do? is it worth copying out all the notes again? i could focus on just exam questions, but i dont even /know/ the content in the first place. i have borrowed another textbook so i still have access to resources, however detailed diagrams and explanations lack in my book (AQA) that my teacher had ran through in study sessions.i also have a test coming up this thursday, the notes i have for half of the topic- the other half are lost along with my book. what should i do?

buy gcp books and use the specification to rewrite your notes. then do practice papers

I would talk to your teacher and other people in your class to see if they can send pictures of notes made in study sessions. Otherwise, I would just work your way through the textbook that you have, and if you can, buy the AQA one again.
Are you sure nobody else in your house has moved your notes? Do you have a cleaner who could have put them somewhere without you realising? They aren't under your bed or haven't fallen behind a desk?

Just make new notes. It doesn't really matter about tests or mock exams because they don't actually count towards your final result (albeit they may influence your predicted grades) so take the long view and do what you need to do to ensure you have adequate notes for when you have an actual exam coming up.

Also needless to say, keep track of them better after you make the new ones

that is true- only worry is about TAGs being a thing again, but hopefully exams will properly go ahead this year. and i will keep these notes so safe this time </3

Also sometimes just reading notes is quite a passive form of revision, whereas making them again will be an active form of revision, so it might end up helping you in the long run!

Don't worry much. U may get ur notes back. STAY COOL.....

Use GCSEpod, and any textbook you have to write new ones.

Given that this thread was started in January, and the OP said that they had mocks in February, it is very likely that they've already taken their GCSEs (and received their results) by now.

I'm not sure they'll still be worried about those missing notes.
