Revising for triple science

I have my mocks in two weeks and I’m so cooked. I’ve just about covered the whole of chemistry paper 2 but not properly and I haven’t done much for biology or physics. Any tips to revise effectively? Rn i’m really struggling to do practice questions, like i’ll know the whole topic but i can’t actually apply it to the questions anyone know how to fix this ??

Um..well I was doing triple before but switched to combined however if you’re really struggling you could really either get a tutor to help you within two weeks or maybe it would be better if you like every break time grab a science teacher and discuss with them your problems with the questions try on attempting lots of different kind of questions
Or…if you’re uncomfortable with telling the teachers about it you could ask some peers to do combined studies where you guys each help eachother out I feel like that’s really effective for me atleast so like try doing your best and don’t worry..hopefully you’ll do great!! 💗💗

Hi @user2378

For exam questions, I would recommend practising answering as many questions as possible. I used to follow the sequence of: read and try to understand the question, answer from what I can remember, add to my answer using a textbook and then mark the answer. I also found it really helpful to spend time looking at the mark schemes to check what should be included.
You could also try answering some more simple practise questions to begin with before moving on to the actual exam style questions.

Hope that helps and good luck for your exams!
