i do the same except OCR for sciences. I'd say fastest way to learn content now since u have not a lot of time left (but still enough to improve) would be to go through flashcards daily and blurting. since ur getting E tht means ur content is poor, so u cant do practice questions until u learn the content. DONT make flashcards, use free ones or buy some from online. In terms of questions do those closer to the exam, and learn the specific words examiners want.

Btw i would recommend u ask help from teachers. Have u tried tht?

Hey @zeyneli,

I would recommend focusing on improving your understanding of the content first. Read through your notes/textbook a few times, revising topic by topic rather than the whole subject at once. Try to memorise the most important pieces of information and use blurting to realise what you've missed. Once you feel like you've got a good grasp of the topic, move on to some past paper questions. If you're struggling to understand the content itself, try to look for online revision resources or revision videos - sometimes all it takes is having a topic taught or explained in a new way.

Hope this helps and best of luck with your A-Levels,
Eve (Kingston Rep).
