With science, a lot of the content is quite memory based so make sure you’re continually reviewing topics. One way of doingthis is sites like Tassomai and StudySmarter which use spaced repetition questioning. Or you could blurt on a few topics eachweek and see what youre forgetting. Like with maths, doing practice questions often will mean you know what you need tofocus on.
Once youre aware of a weaker area, watch a video and try your recall task again. I found for science that anything visual reallyengaged me- use some coloured pens, modelling clay, a whiteboard… anything that will make you think about what you’relearning a bit more.
The question types are really important so doing exam style questions is a must. Application of knowledge isvery important so practicing applying your knowledge is really useful- often it could be applying your knowledge to practicalskills so make sure you have a generally good knowledge of practicals too. 15% of your exams will be on working scientificallyso revising this is essential. FreeScienceLessons have a good playlist on that content and then you’ll need to review requiredpractical methods (check out the videos by Malmesbury science and ScienceShorts for this).
There’s also going to be plenty of calculation questions in science, in some parts of chem and across physics especially. This isagain practice, IsaacPhysics is a fantastic resource for this.
Youll want to review anything about distance-time or velocity-time graphs for maths, also rearranging equations and stuff about volume and areas
