Can you check this intro for Jekyll and Hyde: How Stevenson presents good and evil.
Stevenson presents good and evil through the characters of Jekyll and Hyde. At the start of the novel, there are clearly good (Jekyll) and evil (Hyde) people. However as the novel progresses and Jekyll's moral conflict worsens, we see that all people are both good and evil, because of course, Jekyll is Hyde.

by RekaaaaHow do you cram effectively
•
Online flashcards (someone will have made a set for most topics)
•
Focus on what you DO NOT know and watch short yt videos
•
Past papers (especially the final questions in maths)
•
Study the mark scheme!!!!!!
•
And break up revision on a week by week basis, do not study for something next week as you have the weekend to do that!

Flashcards, videos to explain things I did not understand, focusing on more ambiguous quotes that I would use across the board, eg. the 99 names of Allah

First, with all the pressure surrounding GCSEs, it is normal to feel that you didn't do well after an exam- the overly confident people often do the worst
I recommend revising using the spec as your bible, DO NOT DO ANYTHING OUTSIDE THE SPEC. Use online flashcards and notes that have already been made, and do not revise for exams too far in the future, eg. on this weekend only revise for exams in the upcoming week!
If you are on study leave, maximise your productivity, and use your time wisely, take regular breaks of course, but make sure that you feel that you have done the best you can.
Do all the past papers, make sure that you focus on really understanding the questions and techniques, and focus on what you do not know
