hii!! i got a 66 in my gcse combined, and one mark off a 7! and i was **** at physics and hated it so lemme help you a bit

with doing past papers, i think with physics you will never be able to answer qs well if u don’t know the concept well enough so i recommend doing past papers with your notes side by side and answering each q one by one using your notes

it’ll help you feel more confident into answering ur questions + learn exam technique since physics is a bit technical

hope i helped lmk if u need more tips :P

I mean It's what u feel confident with, personally I think watching videos is more engaging (Ie: freescience lessons + Congito). That way youiron out the topics you don't know and it makes ppqs more rewarding

Hello, for GCSE Physics I recommend using the CGP revision guide. They are really good for both Edexcel and AQA (not sure if they have one for OCR). The best way to utilise the revision guide is by going through everything in it especially the ones you find really tough. Then I'd advise you to make notes, flashcards, mind maps or anything you feel like which helps. It is better to make flashcards on all the formulas you are expected to know and memorise them as that is very beneficial. FreeScienceLessons is a really good YouTube channel that explains things more clearly if you don't understand certain parts of the topic. When you understood the concept, then attempt doing the questions that are at the end of each section in the book until you mastered them. Most of them are Exam style questions. Also do the other questions that are found below on each individual topics. After do more practice questions from online e.g. PMT and on top of that do as many past papers as you can under exam conditions. They are very crucial. Physics is a subject mainly about practice.

I hope that helps,
Good luck ! 🙂
