hi there!

i love dt and computer science, geography is a bit hard at times, business is boring rn because we're repeating what we did last year.

rn in DT we're making a box - just to practice skills.

thank you!

I think a good start would be to plan your answers to the longer form questions. I did Edexcel A so the biggest questions we had were 8 marks (excluding the one 12 marker in Paper 3). I would generally include a statement of whether you agree or disagree with what is being stated, a paragraph using evidence to support your argument, a paragraph using evidence against your point and try to argue against that and then a conclusion summarising what you have written. As for keywords the best thing I found was to just flashcards and exam questions so you know how to apply the concepts.

I would make some flashcards on your weaker topics and if you have done any practise questions review those to see where you have done well and where you can improve.

I never used it (probably because AI was so much less advanced three years ago) but I will advise take it with a grain of salt because they are not always the most accurate. I would take a look at Physics and Maths Tutor for questions and mark schemes :smile:
