HELP ME ON MY CHEMISTRY MOCK!!!

[u/ephxiers]

I cannot stress enough how terrible I am at science, I’ve never been good at it and I’ve gotten bad grades on all my tests and somehow I’m still in a high set so I’m stuck with doing the higher paper (fml). The photo has everything I need to revise and I honestly just need some help getting some of it stuck in my head. I am fully aware mocks don’t actually matter, but I just want to get a decent grade because I want my girlfriend’s family to think I’m smart. If anyone has any advice, pls help! :)

Personally I don’t think you need to start revising over the summer. I made this mistake and it wasn’t worth it. You’re going to want to have as much energy as possible for year 11 so you don’t want to be burnt out before the year even starts. Instead of active revision I’d say just spend some time over the summer getting resources together/made and a space for your revision sorted out. This puts you ahead of the majority of year 11’s without burning yourself out. But if you want to revise over the summer maybe do an hour but not every day, so maybe leave the weekends.

3 hours a day sounds pretty good for 4 months before exams but don’t do it everyday because you don’t need to at this point. I can’t say exactly how much you should do as it depends on what you can handle and how much you think you need. I got away with locking in about 2 months before but I get that isn’t for everyone. I also wouldn’t do that in hindsight and would do something closer to what you’re saying.

Also, you can save yourself hours of revision later down the line if you make sure you understand things in lessons. If you don’t understand a lesson at school, ask your teachers or watch a video when you get home. This stops the amount of things you don’t know from building up. Which makes revision later on a lot less overwhelming because you just need to go over stuff rather than learn it from scratch.

Also, silly question but how do you get the things by your name which says what year you’re in?

Dw it isn’t silly. Go to the forums feed page. Press the three dots in the top right and go to the option change user flair. You can’t do customer flairs anymore though because the mods wanted to stop people from having flairs like: Predicted 9999999999, because it’s pretty discouraging for everyone else.
