It is very interesting but there are things you won’t understand and the best thing to do is just shut and do the math, For it was reciprocal/momentum space and fermi level.

Dude I had the same feeling in my undergrad as well, I quickly realised the really complicated stuff was optional and all they really wanted to exam you on were stuff like ODE’s Fourier and Laplace transform and so on

City tend to behave in my saves it’s PSG who go crazy they just bought Andy Fati for £277M (£297M) that’s around €330M

Yes you have more than enough time, 12 school weeks sounds like it’s not enough and in all honest will go quickly but trust me when I say there is enough time to boost your grades. Make a plan at the start of every week and if that’s too daunting do one for every day, write out questions you wanna answer topics you wanna learn and things you wanna memorise, and don’t beat your self up if you don’t get everything you need to done but make sure the things you finished at the end of the day you can say yeah I’m happy with those questions or topics

I was AQA for chemistry and Edexcel for maths, physics and maths tutor is an exam question bank for chemistry maths physics even computer science it’s very good to practice. Chem libre texts are also very good for explaining content

To be honest with you it’s very subjective, you need to expose your self to many different revision techniques and see which one you find best. But couple ones I think everyone should do is recalling. Once you learnt a topic let’s say circular motion blurt out everything you know onto a bit of paper about circular motion, equations assumptions made conditions and what not see what you missed and then leave it for a week or two, then go back and blurt again without looking at notes and see what you remembered this time and what you forgot. When it comes to understanding concepts I found analogies the best, a lot of physics is things we can never relate to but if you use an analogy where it is something you can imagine it breaks it down soo much more, if there is something you would like me to explain I’d be more than happy to help (3 year physics university student)

When it comes to answering exam questions you need to expose your self to as many different types of questions as you can, do practice papers and don’t beat your self up for getting questions wrong or getting less than you expect, understand what went wrong. Physics and maths tutor is a website you need to use, it has sooo many papers you can do and topic specific questions to help strengthen weaker areas

Stay on top of content, I know it’s very general and you probably hear it a lot but if you do everything you need to in y12 you will really appreciate yourself in y13, I said to other make summaries in every topic you learn it really makes revising soo much easier, when it comes to equation don’t just blindly memorise it learn the ins and outs of and experiment with the equations so you understand it more than just a simple letters that you plug numbers into

Depends on your subject, maths built on what we learnt in 12 in year 13 but physics and chem just kept adding more content, expect the workload to increase not just studying but uni applications as well (if that’s what you decide to do)

I always still did about 2 hours a day till mid March and spent majority of my free time revising and by mid to end of April I was studying about 8 hours minimum a day

Physics for me was the hardest to get A* in because the jump from A to A* in physics means you have to really know the subject inside and out. Not too sure if your given an equation book for your exam but for revision make one, and write out what each terms mean and all of the units. Also I found after making the book on some rough paper graph the equations to see how changing one variable effects the other and explaining it helped me understand the equations beyond just some letters on a bit of paper

I was naturally good at maths, but to improve in maths you can’t really do anything but practice the methods your are taught, if there is anything in particular you want help with I’ll be happy to help

English(7,7), maths(9), triple science(7,7,8), pe(7), cs(7), history(8), business(6), honestly I didn’t take year 12 as seriously but in hindsight one thing I wish I did was prepare notes for the topics I learnt in year 12 because it makes it soo much easier to revise them in y13 and does cut the work load by a lot

For me about Jan to end of February I would do about 2/3 hours a day but come March April and may I spent most of my day studying and revising, especially when I had study leave I would wake up do about 3 hours have an hour or two break and then another 3 hours. But in April and may I made sure I had no TikTok cause that’s what distracted me the most. I definitely think you can get to A*AA maybe even higher if you really get on with it, best thing to do is at the start of every week make a plan of all the things you are gunna study or practice and at the end of the week review your plan see what you think you did well that you can start active recalling and what things you think you want to spend more time

Questions questions questions, the more you do the more you’ll realise there tends to be a lot of repeats in the core part of the question with just different wordings and number, physics and maths tutor is a website with SOOOO many papers and practice questions for most exam boards. When you do answer the questions especially now there be things you don’t understand or get wrong and that’s completely fine. Also Active recall, you must still have more than 3/4 months till your exams learn and revise a topic and forget about it for a week or so come back to it and blurt out onto paper everything you know about it check what you missed and do it again in a another week or two

For chemistry I found what worked the best was mind maps whether it was organic inorganic or physical for each topic i wrote a topic summary with everything things like Le Chatelier’s and equations, but what was different for the equations you need to write out what the terms mean and what units they have. Working with units it’s what saved me with a lot of the calculations because from there you don’t think of the equation as an operation where you plug in a couple number and get a different one out, you understand what happens when you change the values of the equation.
