How's everyone doing?

[TotallySwagical]

With AS levels and A levels coming up in a few weeks, I'd like to know how everyone's preparations are going, if only to console myself about the fact I haven't even begun studying...........

My cousin has covered the syllabus, but he doesn't know crap about practicals.

Well, good to know someone is in the same boat as me......sadly, I haven't even covered my theory portions.

 

[SecondCitySaint]

My teacher said that students with no prior practice can get a passing grade in practicals since its mostly about manipulating the apparatus and following instructions.
Do work on the theory mate, best of luck.

Hey, I was wondering if its a good idea to take past paper sessions of all three of my science subjects?

Actually, I've done pretty horribly at any practical session we've had so far. Its been............ discouraging to say the least. Nevertheless good luck to you and your cousin mate. I'll try to stop watching anime now.

Actually, my teachers recommend going through the marking schemes of past papers of almost any subject in order to see exactly what Cambridge Examiners expect. My chemistry teachers continue to persist and, I will not lie, its been more helpful then continuously revising theory topics.
Just Try not to by heart the marking schemes though.

I've tried the marking schemes, but they're so confusing! I hardly understand what they're saying....

Oh well, you can do well in other papers to make up for (I hope not) a bad p3. I already cleared my alevels, on a gap year right now and it feels really good.
PS : Which anime if I may ask?

Marking scheme briefly outlines absolutely necessary points. Designated marks follow the point for which they are allotted. If you've read any Cambridge Endorsed Textbook, I suggest framing these points similar to how these textbooks frame them. There is a sort of guidebook that shows exactly what these codes (As you may have noticed, several points are usually followed by C, A or R, among others) may refer to. I'll send you a link if I can find it.

Sadly, I'm still stuck in AS Levels........ How's having a gap year by the way?
In terms of anime.......following One piece and Fairy Tail, actively watching Log Horizon, patiently waiting for Attack on Titan and.....................High School DXD................

ok, but wouldn't it help a lot by taking past paper sessions?

Well..........yep. That's what I do...... I guess. Just writing gibberish is a mistake a made one too many times though. I suggest you do what you think is best, cause in the end you only have yourself to rely on. But don't attempt to completely finish the books, it puts too much strain on yourself.
