they sure are real past paper questions!,i personally used PMT for GSCE this year for the sciences i think it is way better, but i do love cognito videos ☺️!
if you need any help with the sciences for GCSE just ask! ( for context i go 9's in all three of them and i did AQA)

senca is a really good website to learn content off, but sometimes though there are info on there you dont need to know i noticed this during my GCSE's, plus like filling in gaps and stuff many not be the best way to learn the content, i would recommend if you have the cgp science books for content they are really good for learning the content!, but the past papers are SO GOOD, what your doing there is really good, when i did my GCSE's i would do as many past paper question as i could find as it is so important, as every year the papers are very similar to previous year and the only thing that really changes is the wording of the question, so if you learn by doing a lot of past paper question and you learn the mark scheme to answer then it will be so easy for you in the actual exam , because then as soon as you see a question you will know exactly what the mark scheme is looking for, for a particular question and you wont waste time writing unnecessary content !

anything else feel free to ask!😄

tysm for your advice it rlly means a lot. i have a question, in ur opinion what is the best way to use the cgp books?
also for past papers i keep planning on doing them but i dont want to waste them as i am still yr 10 (but started gcse content in yr 9). before i do past paper questions idk if this is necessary or not but i just feel the need to go over content before doing the questions so i actually know what im doing if that makes sense. this then results in me becoming lazy and really dragging out that "going over content" and i dont get to do as many past questions or even the textbook exam style questions. do you have any advice? tysm for ur help

if that is the case then try the questions and mark your work and see which question you went wrong on and then focus your revision on the part of the content then this means you will only need to look at the content your weak at, and yea i also started my GCSE's in year 9, plus i didn't do much revision in year 10, i started properly revising in January like 6 or 7 moths before the GCSE's, as many people start revising in year 10 thats good but only do a little bit at a time, dont burn your self out.
The method used to revise content is spaced repetition literally everyone laughs at me when i say this even my teachers are like thats not a good method but i humble them when it comes to the test, what i do is read over the content i want to learn literally just read over it while trying to understand the content like why that particular thing happens then it will be easier to remember and then i wait a few days and come back to the content again and read it again and come back in a week and read again, and every time i come back to the content my brain will be like " oh he is coming back to the content again this must be something i need to remember and then stores it in your long term memory" and the next time you come to read it again you will feel like you have photographic memory as your brain literally just goes and fetches the info form your long term memory. And then i do a lot of exam question on PMT there is so many on there you literally wont run out ! on every topic and the sub sections within each topic ! (https://www.physicsandmathstutor.com/)
This method many not work for you but, it is just there as a powerful method i used !
I literally still use this method for my a level i could literally read out the first 20 pages of my A level biology notes out to without looking at it ones, and i know exactly where all the diagrams are on each page and like what each label on the diagrams are because this method literally made me have photograph of my notes in my head !
hope that helps!☺️
