GCSE revision help

Hello! I’m sitting my AQS higher chemistry and biology GCSE in may this year, so 2 months for the exam, I was busy with personal things that I realised how fast time has gone and I need to start revising, could anyone give me advice on what to do in order to get a higher grade like 7 in 2 months? I know I should have done so before but it was a mistake I have to now deal with, any advice would be appreciated!! Thank you! Xx

I would start by figuring out where your weaker areas are within your subjects and focus on revising those areas. I would make sure to schedule in time where you are definitely going to revise - I do this using Google calendar but most calendars or an excel spreadsheet should work fine. I would go over test papers that you have done and see where and why you have lost marks so you can then focus on the weaker areas. I generally used flashcards to revise science.

100% agree with flowersinmyhair.
Also, Seneca learning and cognito have summarised notes, questions and videos for all the topics for chemistry and biology. Past papers and general practice questions would be a really good tool too - physics and maths tutor can be useful for this

Oh nice! Thank you so much for the advice! I’ll be sure to do that 😌 do you have any really good YouTubers that are good with chemistry and biology? All I know is freesciencelessons.

I never really revise using Youtube videos, it's not something that has ever really appealed to me. I always used the CGP revision guides and Seneca to revise science.
