    Just do past papers (including all of the old spec ones, Ik OCR have tonnes) then repeat each one like 3 times until you get 90+%. I found it helps to stick information into your brain in an exam specific way. And helps remember phrases examiners like to hear!!

      Create flashcards on it
      Revise those flahscards until you’re comfortable with the content
      Do past paper questions, understanding how and why chemistry works makes reading questions easier.

    decided to stick with chemistry but i'm already so worried about it, we're currently learning some of the easier things but i feel like i'm still finding it tough compared with everyone else in my class. also i'm struggling to find time to do independent study because the homework across my 3 subjects just feels like too much. do you have any tips on how to better manage my time and which methods of independent study are most effective?

      use your free periods to do your hw have a little break at home and begin your revision. if you do the hw the day its set it wont feel like too much. its easy to just plan it in your head but you need to actually implement it into your daily routine.

    I chose chemistry
    Our text book is 180 pages (one semester) the problem is that the curriculum comes from The United kingdom and we study for 12 here before unie. that means that we need to learn the same amount of information in less time.🤯

    I'm not doing A levels yet but just a helpful tip for those who do their GCSE mocks in a couple of weeks.
    The easiest thing to do is doing practice exam questions(on physics and maths tutor) and memorizing mark schemes this helped me so much at the beginning of year 10. I also love chemistry it's more relaxing than any other subject.

    I feel really confident on the content and have done all the new spec papers and some old spec ones (I tend to score higher on old spec)I really reflect on my mistakes and watch video walkthoughs and go back to the topics I struggle with & I can see I get a lot better with the stuff I am working on. but somehow I am stuck in the 60-75% range which is not enough for an A-A* considering grade boundries are gonna be very high this year. I lose a lot of marks on MCQs (tried doing them at the start or the end doesn't make much difference) now with one week to my a-levels starting I'm officially freaking out
