To be honest i think just do every single past paper question and just do blurting as chemistry is pretty much a memorising topic

honestly not in the exact same position but at B rn, how did you learn all the ontent and stuff because i only just climbed up to a B . also if you dont mind what have you done/plan to do to move up a grade?
SORRY FOR THE NOTIF IK IM NOT ACC REPLYING TO HELP YOU
but tbh what the other person said spam questions because the difference between B/A/A* is more on you not making silly mistakes/ losing "easy" marks. learn how to answer questions the way examiners want it which youll probs learn best by doing past papers

Just do past papers and active recall methods and you will be fine

Hi, sorry how did you move up to a B? I need a B to get into my uni course and I’d love to hear any advice to try before paper 1

I'm going to be honest I DONT KNOW LMFAOO, not trying to gatekeep i wish i knew so i could keep going to get an A. I think somehow absorbing/paying more attention helped me retain info in year 13 and then your a level will include year 12 AND YEAR 13 content so my year 13 mock wouldve had both years of content rather than just year 12, and my year 12 knowledge is tsill bad, so i guess it just wasnt evident i got lucky on that paper. also ik everyone says this and i lowk get annoyed but honestly questions. i dont notice doing them bc i dont do long revision sessions i physically cannot bring myself to, but i do think overall ive done more practice than last year, just by doing bits here and there without thinking, like if i think abt it i don twant to do it IDK WHY LMK IF IT HAPPENS TO YOU, but like because ive got sheets and also attended this group sessoin for a month where we just do questions i do think its boosted me. memorise answers/definitions again ik its the obvious but definitons will alwas be the same obviously so if they ask it its good for you to regurgitate and get marks, i unfortunately dont kow all mine still, but having certain textbook answers has actually helped sm.
