Help!! A level mocks!

Hi everyone,
I'm currently working at a C in all my subjects,
but you see i'm trying to attempt to get a B or maybeeee even an A but I have only 6 weeks left till my mocks. I do have knowledge of some of my topics but its not everything and so it is currently quite weak. Btw i do chemistry economics and maths. What advice would you give for me to achieve this?

Hi there! I take Chemistry and Maths and currently predicted A* for both. I'll try to explain what worked for me but everybody revises differently. Could you let me know what exam boards you're with?

For Chemistry, we have access to an OCR textbook on Kerboodle which contains all the information needed, but whatever textbook you have should work as well. Either way, try to find the specification and use it as a checklist to ensure you've covered everything. I highly reccomend doing past papers and exam questions after you've revised each chapter (physicsandmathstutor has quite a few!). If you have enough time, you can make flashcards using Anki to remember formulas and key information. I can send mine over if you want^^

In the case of Maths, it is mainly practising; though for my exam board Applied maths does have a few points you gotta memorise. Start out with textbook questions to build up your skills and understanding of each topic, then move onto mixed exam papers. Try to do these regularly if possible.

Goodluck with your studies, you got this! 👍

Thank you so much :biggrin:

And sure thing! Altough only Modules 2 and 4 are fully covered, with a few gaps in 3, and modules 5 and 6 being pretty much empty. Would that be okay?
