    I'm studying it online right now and a tip I have, if you can, is to make your notes as flashcards not just a list. This way you're creating an active revision resource while learning. I see no point personally converting a list of info in a textbook to another more messy less accurate list of info in your own book. just a technique which i have found to be effective and efficient. You will need a lot (and I mean a LOT) of paper for flashcards, however.

    im so scared sis, i know i should put my trust in Allah but i really want to take a level bio, im a gcse student, my exams are in a month and im doing foundation combined science where the highest i can get is a grade 5, my teachers said i wasn’t capable of getting higher than a 5 as in my mocks i was getting 4’s. now with a month left till exams, i still wish i was doing higher tier science so that i could get above a 6 in order to take a level bio. this goes with a level chem as well. sadly, now i can’t, ive applied for applied science, psychology & sociology for sixth form in September but im worried i won’t enjoy applied science as i just really wish i could do a level bio and chem.

    please what is the difference between exam questions and past papers
    You said, that after understanding and blurting, we should do exam questions then after past papers.
    and where can I get free resources of them
    I feel blessed, to have watched this video.
    thanks, and I would love a quick reply

  • @zainab.7187

    about the blurting/active recall q, i’m not sure how often to do them as for e.g when i blurt a few times and i know everything, i go back to it a few weeks after and i’ve forgotten all of it so i’m not sure how often to do it while being efficient
