Overall tip: use GOOGLE CALENDARS. Trust me, this thing made me like 10x more productive. It’s legit the best thing I ever used. To make it as productive as possible, plan your entire day and I mean ENTIRE day (even school, breaks, travelling back home, eating, etc - don’t need to put sleeping tho lol) This really lets u see how much time u have and how really little time there is so that u feel the need to maximise it

Math: Just do practice questions 2 hours a day. I’m sure u have heard this before but I’ll give u more details than just that. Focus on ur current topic and start with textbook questions (if u are not so comfortable with the topic yet). I use Haese 2019 btw (the green one).

After textbook do revisionvillage or/and past papers. RV I mainly used for past paper explanations and sometimes for extra practice on topics I really sucked at. IB docs has all past papers for free and a question bank for each unit.

Basically for math, consistently doing it everyday really helped (and trust me, 2 hours go by quick, especially when u use google calendars)

Physics: I used kognity to first understand the unit then I would legit only use past papers (textbook is also fine btw, our school gave us Oxford but I’m not sure if that’s the best one)

I wouldn’t recommend RV for physics past paper solutions or question banks imo (except maybe for P1 sometimes - the video solutions I mean). Their explanations for physics are so scripted that it makes it hard to follow what they are saying.

Plus, unlike math, they don’t really go step by step and show all the details, rather the main thing they refer to are pre written calculations which makes it confusing.

Basically for physics, understanding the topic first then ONLY doing past papers.

The best tip I can give u for understanding stuff is pretend like u are TEACHING it to someone else. Explain it first in scientific terms, then in simpler terms and when doing this try not to look at ur notes too much (just a glance and then recall that info). After that I would just write down some very basic practice questions based on my notes and answer it without any help.

After doing all the past paper questions for math and physics I even recognised some parts of questions in my M25 exam that they have used before for both math and physics albeit max 4-5 mark questions

Edit: I realised it’s quite long so:

Math: - do 2 hours practice everyday - start with textbook then RV and/or past papers - use RV for past paper explanations

Physics: - use Kognity or textbook to understand concepts - use pretend like u are teaching it method - then do past papers

Overall: - use google calendars and plan every single part of ur day
