I'm currently at 2 past papers a week along with general recap of topics on some days because my history exam is next week so that has been my main focus. That being said everyone has their own way of prioritising time so as long as you're not neglecting your other subjects entirely you will be okay! We still have time until the maths exam so I wouldn't stress too much about not doing as much as you usually would for maths if you have other exams before then <3

ok my plan:
-dust up mechanics by doing all mechanic sections from paper 2 past papers and review Stats this week or so

-then just bash pure past papers and some questioned guided revision resources from school

should be sufficient right? (just grind out questions including some harder focused questions), anyone is welcome to critique this and/or suggest improvements to my study strat, like whats everyone's gameplan?

someone help me wiht a gameplan please

past papers if you've managed to do all of the course spec and are happy with it. If not try and cover it all by the end of this week or next depending on if you have any other exams. Then just do questions, and when you get something wrong actually try to learn and understand the reason why, that should help you.

honestly if you have two exams next week that you aren't fully confident with then i would just put maths aside for now and just focus on them two. i dont do physics or business so i'm not sure about exact dates but i would try and do it by the end of next week starting after your current exams finish. Latest i would leave it would be half way of the week beginning 29th. But after you finish content, you will honestly have to go crazy on maths, do as many questions as possible. right now though focus on your other exams and if you have any more after that. space it out as needed

I used UpLearn's summary videos, you can just use fake emails and put them for free trials, i think they are quite useful

I think you should learn from past papers to understand how to get all the marks. Look for worked solutions for questions you aren't sure of and try similar questions so you can do them if they come up in the actual test. I think madas maths have good resources that range in difficulty which can build your skills.

ok, so best plan is to just focus heavy on past papers right? like print out every single one from 2017 to 2022 and then just go do them in exam condition - then once done review every question about why you got it wrong and seeking worked solutions
