Hey,

First off, I hope you enjoyed your holiday! It's always nice to get a break before exam season. 🙂

In terms of covering your Chemistry and Econ content, I'd first decide which subject you need to focus on most. Then, split your revision time accordingly - for example, you could be spend Saturday focusing on Econ and Sunday focusing on Chemistry, or half of one day focusing on one subject and the rest of the weekend focusing on the other.

For effective mock revision, I would also recommend using any past papers you have on hand. They can be a good way to test your recall knowledge whilst also improving your exam technique (especially for the Econ essays).

Best of luck with your mocks!

Hi @xavss !

My advice would be to firstly have a quick overview on what will be on the exam and your materials. Then determine what you need the most revision on and make a list of importance. My main piece of advice would be to make sure you take regular breaks! It can be easy to spend the entire weekend working and burn yourself out. So make sure you take frequent short breaks (even a few minutes!) as then you can go back to your work with a clearer mind. Personally, I always found doing as many practice papers as possible the most effective kind of revision. Once you complete them, go over and mark them to see what you need to look at again.

I hope this helps, good luck!!
