u got like 8 days so just do all the past papers under exam conditions, read through the paper 2 spec and make sure youre on top of the content. after each past paper make sure you identify your weak spots and do targeted topic practice etc.
Yeh proper scared for this paper Ngl
How’s everyone feeling for this paper?
did radioactivity, binding energy (nuclear physics) come up last year? if so how much? cuz I don't have the paper with me
bro..
yo guys so this is my plan. finish all the content by Saturday. do 2 past papers a day for monday,tuesday and wednesday so i have finished all of em. would this be enough to secure an E at least? also, i havent gone thru fields yet. is 5 days enough to go thru fields?

tysm bro i needed the reassurance. is 5 days enough to quickly go thru fields tho? and also i plan to do 6 past papers in total as im not gonna do 2023 and 2018 as scienceshorts(youtuber) didnt do a walkthrough on his youtube channel. so doing just the 6 past papers should be enough right?. if i do all of that, what grade do u reckon i could achieve?

I would prob do 2023 if you can cuz last year was quite hard. for the fields you probably could do that in 5 days make sure you do plenty of questions on it tho cuz even if you get the content the questions are very weird sometimes. I don't know how much you've done so i couldn't tell you what grade that would get but if you work effectively it could def be like a C at least idk tho.
My paper 1 did not go as well as i expected it to, if i'm being honest, quite bad 😔.
Currently I'm going through content, reading the specification and i'll start past papers soon.
Could anyone give some advice on how i can save myself to get at least a B , because honestly, an A is down the drain after my first paper😭.
