Physics Alevel

Hey, I'm currently revising fro my mocks and do AQA physics, its so hard and I keep getting the questions wrong. Any advice?

Keeping track of the questions you got wrong is the best way to revise imo

This is my work flow when doing past papers (maybe it will help you in some way)
1) do the past paper
2) check it with the marks scheme
3) if you get a question wrong, write the marks scheme down + identify what gets you the marks

I keep a flashcard set for questions that I got wrong for different topic, and every time I finish a paper, I add the qs and the solution to the set. Then only go over the questions that you got wrong, this will save you a lot of time.

when you think you're good with a question (ie. consistently hitting the marks when you do it again) , remove it from the set and repeat the process. This will help you familiarise yourself w/ the marks scheme, and also prevents you from making the same mistake again and again.

hope this helps :smile:
