Any recommendations/tips for sciences? Especially bio and chem

for bio: learn command words, like what does "evaluate" mean, or "justify". e.g for evaluation questions you mostly have to look atpoints that agree with the statement AND also disagree. if they mention a graph/table, USE THOSE! even a simple " as concincreases, the reaction increases according to the graph" gives u a mark. other than that, try to memorise everything on the spec. for chem: its just about practice and practice. also try to learn everything on the spec and try to learn the key reactions and whatobservations u might see. if u don't know, most of the time it's just "effervescense" but try to learn some key ones. also for themaths side of chem, i recommend looking up exercises and just doing lots of questions. other than that, past papers and pastpapers

Congrats on those grades btw
Also best way to move from a 5 to a 7 at least in maths.

literally practice and practice. thats all i did during my easter break and study leave. i just did bunch of past papers and looked at their walkthroughs on youtube. if i didnt like a particular topic i would do targetted questions in my textbook. so the main thing is just practicing!!!!

practice practice and practice. tbh i sucked at maths in year 10 and would get 50% on average. year 11 i just practiced everyday and would get high 90s on all my tests. so just do practice papers, watch walkthroughs of the papers, do textbook questions on topics u find most difficult

a 9 in aqa art is mad!! my teachers have been heavily implying that they're going to mark me an 8, bc i did not realise that component 1 was weighted 60% and produced three paintings over the course of the entire year 😭 and one is unfinished lmao
