Hi there,

For Chemistry, revise everything that you have learnt so far in your course, and if you have time, just touch up on some topics that you haven't learn/ aren't confident in.

For Maths, revise all of Algebra, from collecting like terms to solving quadratics. Also, learn the formula of areas of different shapes i.e rectangles, triangles, circle, trapezium etc. Finally, you may need to revise ratios, as they could also ask it.

Hope this helped!

Hello, for maths I also found ukmt challenge papers quite useful to practice the problem solving type questions that came up(and a bit more interesting than doing more gcse style questions). I wouldn't say to go much harder than IMC level.

I didn't select Biology as my exam, as I didn't pick it in the first place.
