GCSE Physics

How should I revise for physics? Currently, I use freesciencelessons alongside the AQA specification to make flashcards + topic sheets , but I still don’t feel like I thoroughly understand the content as when I am exposed to a past paper , I lose lots of marks - for example in my year 10 mocks I got a 7+, but the grade boundaries were relatively low (i got 65%). Please send tips/resources on how I can improve my revision for year 11 !

at the beginning i used handmade flashcards , for the energy unit (basically equations and definitions of words) then eventually i used gizmo to recall required practicals, definitions equations, which are okay, but for the theory i have been copy and pasting the spec into chatgpt and asking it to make flashcards for me (advised by a friend) , but the content is still not sticking in my head 😭 usually in physics exams they give you application questions but i just can’t seem to apply the content to the question😭

Oh ok that's really good lots of effort. I found myself struggling with physics although I memorised the spec with flashcards and stuff so I went through everything again and really focused on understanding every single detail. Eg if it's about newton's 3rd law the spec only details a few sentences but I needed to try and truly understand it as witj everything else. I asked chatgot to explain it thoroughly and simply and asked it to give me qs on it suitable for gcse. Hope this helps 😁
