    you're so right about cgp guide, they won't help much when learning the content but I find them so effective when revising and I love making flashcards using the! I have textbooks too but I never use them because they make no sense to me and i feel like they contain lot of unnecessary content as well

    Hi Ray. I’m in Year 11, and doing triple science. When revising content for sciences, and what I make my anki flashcards from, should I use the cgp guide, the subject textbook, that has all the content too from school, or other resources like BBC Bitesize?
    Thanks.

    • @helmsmanpacker3456
      @helmsmanpacker3456 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I would suggest to just use the resource that helps you understand it best, and you don’t have to stick to one resource. I think the main thing is making sure the content is from your exam board, so you only learn things you need to know

    • @alvinagiala4797
      @alvinagiala4797 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I used mygcsescience which really helped. They guarantee a 8/9 of you finish all the content so there's a money back guarantee as well. Personally that was the only resource I used as they have templates that I filled in as well but my friends said free science lessons is really good to learn. I bought his revision guide as well - which I didn't end up using as I used the website but it was really good as it was like an easy made revision guide.

How can I try to understand the question the first time? Do you have any advice? I have been doing lots of past paper questions but keep messing up the first time.

    Hi, I’m currently a physical natural sciences offer holder (!) like you were too I guess! I am currently very much on the A/A* boundary when I do past papers (getting 3 marks off of an A* etc) however I have two weeks till my first physics a level and I am required to get an A* for physics which is a massive source of stress at the moment. Would you have any specific advice for me in this situation?

    • @RAmjad
      @RAmjad  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi! The most useful thing I found to stop me from teetering on the boundary was improving my exam technique and creating the Advice and Extra Content file. I knew most of the content by that point and how to answer most of the questions but kept messing up because sometimes I jumped straight into a question without much thought or generally ran out of time for thinking about the harder questions. Improving your exam technique, I think, makes a real different at this point

      For sure! It's still possible - you have almost a year and a half. Also, don't worry too much about how long to be revising for - I made a series on studying effectively (you can check my playlists) and this is one of the first questions that I address.
