Ccse science past papers

Since I'm on a time crunch and stressing badly is it worth just going through past papers for chemistry and physics and learning the content through the papers as revision? Or is it worth acc going through flashcards made by others on websites such as gizmo??? For biology I made flashcards and I'm going through them but for chemistry I feel like I know nothing and I'm genuinely scared

1) do a full past paper for both subjects
2) identify weak areas
3) If you go on physics and maths tutors (which has most subjects on it so the name is misleading) you will find practise questions by topic in your exam board. Do the things you are bad at and make sure that you look at the mark schemes properly so you find exactly the key things your board wants u to include
4) when you are confident, just do more past papers, timed now, until the summer.

Good luck, I hope we do well

just making notes is a waste of time, but if you can do it while watching the videos, you may as well

Memorise the markscheme. That is how GCSE works. Do loads of past papers, mark it, and memorise how the markscheme applies to the question. They just recycle the questions anyway, it’s the definitive best way of revision.
