a level bio chem maths help
I have my a levels in june and im kind of worried as I'm not as stressed as i should be.
Im not revising as much as i am as a person who's doing bio chem and maths. my current predicted grades are A*AA but i only need ABB so im kind of complacent (i know i shouldnt be). right now im working towards BBB because im not putting in that much effort.
i understand in order to get good grades i need to put in effort but recently ive been lazy and if i do start studying it takes me hours to complete just one topic as i like to go into detail and fully understand it - but im also wasting so much time on one subject on a minor topic.
are there any tips or ways that can help me with cramming all the content for my upcoming exams? im forgetting so much content especially for bio and chem like organic chem. for maths, i struggle a lot with the questions nearer to the end of the paper for pure and modelling questions
i do aqa bio and chem, and edexcel maths

Hey, i'll be honest i can't really offer much advice but i know exactly how you're feeling. I'm doing biology(AQA), chemistry(OCR) and criminology (WJEC) and i'm not stressing at all and can hardly remember any content for biology atm.
For uni i only need BCC and i'm predicted AAB and in my last mocks got AAA and with the way criminology is assessed i've already secured the B i need, which definitely isn't helping with the need of like urgency.
I'm always happy to try and explain stuff that i understand in biology and maybe chemistry even though it's a different exam board. For organic chem, have you got like a reaction map, cuz personally i wrote that out everyday until i remembered it but i love organic chem, and i find it the easier topic area for me rather than inorganic and physical chemistry.
I know this might seem weird but Biology from what i know may be the easiest to get an A in as the grade boundaries are a lot lower (at least for my exam boards) compared to chemistry. Plus i've been told that AQA essentially recycle questions so learning mark schemes may be quite good, i also find that Miss Estruch is quite good for 'predictions' as she does a lot of past paper analysis where she essentially tells the likelihood of something showing up.
Sorry this is quite long but you've totally got this and there's still a month till the 1st biology exam. 😊
