Hi guys! A level Biology student here! I achieved 9s across all my science GCSEs, despite being predicted a 4. The biggest piece of advice I have is to FAMILIARISE YOURSELF WITH EXAM QUESTIONS. The best way to do this is by completing the Physics and Maths tutor questions for each topic and the past papers for your exam board.
To learn the content:

•

Work through the videos and questions on Cognito, this is great for building your understanding, as well as actively recalling the information.

•

•

Watch the FreeScienceLessons videos. He should cover most of the content for all exam boards.

•

Invest in a whiteboard and pen, but paper will also work. Read through the specification points for your exam board, and write down on your whiteboard everything you can remember for the point (e.g, specific biological processes). This is active recall and is essential for building your long term memory.

•

Most importantly DO NOT STRESS! GCSEs are a very small part of your life, and in order to achieve the grades you want you must maintain a healthy balance! Make sure to reach out if you are struggling!

I hope this helps! Feel free to message me or reply to this if you have any questions! ☺️

yeah wish it was as easy as not stressing especially when your brain decides to fogg out. i know people with high grades dont experience it as much but any tips about remove brain fogg. maybe its the way im revising that makes me get bored subconsciously and my brain choses not to take info in. ( i used flashcard and for bio its just exceedingly long when im tryna revise paper 2)
