Try & do some past papers & get a family member to mark them. If you don’t understand a certain question even when seeing your answer was wrong, look at the mark scheme & watch out for any key words/ phrases they might want in your answer. Gl w the mocks!

Hi there!

May I know the exam board?

As you are doing a Mock, I will assume you are maybe going into year 11 or year 12.

Starting early will not only save you time but also save you from stress! Cramming is not effective and poor time management will lead to burn out and poor performance. My biggest tip would be to start early and slowly - your revision does not need to be intense. I used to create revision cards and would read them passively every single night. Information will stick, then closer to the exam (5-6 months before) I would then try to actively memories my cards. This helped me retain knowledge and meant that I could focus more on application questions. The best methods of revision are recall and repetition.

I would also audit your performance over the year and use the summer you have now to really iron out any issues you currently have.

Kind regards, Jenifer (Kingston rep)
