Hi @zeyneli 👋

I’m currently studying biochemistry at the university of Essex, and took chemistry and maths for A level !

My suggestion for maths would be physics and maths tutor, and maths genie. Math is just all about practise so do as many questions as possible and once you get closer to exams run through all the past papers !
For chemistry, again complete practise questions and past papers is always a good tool because you’ll be able to get an idea of what the mark scheme wants :smile: and will give you an idea of the difficulty standard you may get in your exam.
I also did blurting for Chem, where you pick a topic and then write down everything you can remember from that topic on a piece of paper. Then afterwards go look back at your notes and see what you missed, this is a great way to find out what you actually already know so you’re not repeating yourself.
Hope this helps 😀

Hi @idkbuthi 👋

Biology is very content heavy as you’ll know ! So my revision technique was very similar to chemistry. Especially questions and the blurting!

But are you doing GCSE or A level :smile: and then I can be more specific !

Okay cool!

So, like I said definitely blurting and past papers because you can get to grips with what the mark scheme wants and the types of questions that come up time and time again !

I also used flashcards for biology for active recall which really helped

And then I’d say especially for the essay in paper 3 but also just the long mark questions, make sure you know the long process descriptions because if you know them then that’s easy marks because then your basically just listing the facts !

Hope that helps and good luck with your A levels and if you have any other questions I’m happy to answer them :smile:
