Best way to learn science quickly?

I have exams in 8 weeks and I need two sixes. I've only recently started actually learning the content. I have a cgp book but it takes too long. My last mocks I got 33 in the higher (I knew nothing at all)

Hi!! I'm in yr11 and I got a 9-9 in the most recent science mocks. I love to use Cognito to revise science (Link: Dashboard | Cognito) - it has videos which go through each topic and I think it's explained really well, and then after each video there's a set of questions to check your understanding. You get to do lots of practice and then it shows your progress on all the different topics so you can see which ones you need to go back over again. I also find it really helpful to make mindmaps on each of the topics on A3 paper to summarise the key points! Also don't forget to revise the required practicals as this is a lot of the marks. And look closely at the specifications because the CGP books definitely have a lot of waffle that you don't actually need to know. I hope that helps!!
