If free will exists, can it be exercised in a deterministic universe where every action is a consequence of prior states? Or is the mere sensation of choice enough to validate free will, regardless of underlying causality?

Hiiii! sorry for not responding sooner! I did combined (Didn't want to do triple lol) But I really recommend freesciencelessons on youtube, he's a great guy and has a ton of videos, as well as past papers, and focussing on the topics you get wrong. And seeing if you can get cgp books (I got all of mine from vinted cheap) as they really summarise the information you need to know! Good luckkkk

Sorry for the late response! I'm not sure what eduqas calls for but for lit, I recommend making flash cards of key quotes, and making mindmaps of key quotes as well as blurting! And for language I recommend analysing unseen texts, random extracts from books you like, etc. and also practicing visual analysis on pictures you see, and trying to write super creative sentences w/ as much technique as possible! Good luck!

Hi! Sorry for late response, for maths I just recommend to practice practice practice! I used mathsgenie for a ton of questions across topics, and also drfrost is AMAZING for practice questions! good luck!!!!
And those subjects seem great!!!!

Sorry for the late response- I personally use flora and study bunny (depends on if you are more motivated by giving a bunny a happy life or growing a beautiful garden), flora is also great if you can get friends to join you- more encouragement as you have competition!
History- flashcards, practice questions and comparing against mark schemes, mindmaps and blurting
Maths- just practice practice practice! I recommend doing all the past papers (also redo them later in the year if needed) as well as practice questions on drfrost or mathsgenie!
English- mind-map key quotes (remember 2-5 for each character and theme!), blurting
Science- practice questions, freesciencelessons on youtube, cognito (if you do combined i recommend focusing on 2 sciences primarily, and then have the third as your secondary priority)
RE- remember "love thy neighbour" and try to remember versatile quotes that can link to many themes! And also key topics

Hi! sorry for the late response! FLASH CARDS are so important, and remember to get a top score you don't need to remember 100% of the points for each topic. I only lost 3 marks on my Weimar Nazi Germany paper and I focussed on learning 3-5 detailed points per subtopic (eg. propaganda, I focussed in the Nuremberg rally, radio and posters) as it save a lot of time as you do not need to memorise the textbook! Additionally, blurting and highlighting areas that you struggle with! Good luck!

Chemistry is HARD (was my worst science by quite a bit!!!) I would recommend flash cards, and ensuring that you understand the concepts! And focus on REALLY knowing the topics you know so that you can get 100% on those questions! Additionally youtube videos (cognito, freesciencelessons), pmt and spending time drawing things out yourself as that can make it significantly easier to understand! Good luck!!!!

I did AQA so idk if that is useful, but the statement was along the lines of 'people should have jobs that pay well, not that they enjoy?'

You can do it!!!! I know several people, who, on their own practice, got from 4/5s to 7/8s, so it is completely possible and you can put in the work!!!
Science- I would recommend flashcards, and working on understanding central topics within them as it makes everything else make much more sense. Additionally, drawing out concepts will really help you visualise them more and is really useful! Additionally, freesciencelessons on youtube teaches more than most teachers ever will!
English lit- Flashcards, and really familiarising yourself with quotes (do note that you don't need to memorise the quotes perfectly within the markscheme, BUT you do need to ensure that the words you zoom in on actually exist!!!!) as central themes and topics. For poems, I found it very useful to plan for potential questions that could come up, and decide what poem/ quotes I would use if it did. Additionally, for unseen, I personally loved printing off song lyrics and annotating them and comparing! Makes it fun!!!
English lang- for Paper 1, annotate texts, work on pulling out central themes and within a time limit! Q5- pick random photos, and then visually analyse them, and make a story surrounding them. Paper 2, do the same as paper 1 but with non-fiction! Q5- work on arguments and debates, really understanding where you stand on relatively relevant topics as it will be easier going into the exam being passionate about the topic! Good luck!!!!!

You can do this! freesciencelessons will help you with content, make flashcards (for find some good ones on quizlet!) as you can use them throughout the year as well! For exam techniques, I found it useful to go through and identify the 6 markers and make brainstorms with everything I know about the topic, 6 markers are basically just yapping about what you know! Then just go through it as you would, highlighting or aggressively circling key words (my papers would always look a mess! That's fine! all that matters is the words you write) and going through, checking, adding stuff where necessary, if you have the time go into the most detail possible, even if slightly off topic to ensure you can get the top marks!!! Good luck on Friday!!!!
