    my fave tip was using the specification to make notes and cue cards. I never thought to do it like this, I love this and I'm going to start to do this!

    My favourite tip was defintely having a document of all your mistakes and the 6 markers as those long qs come at the end of paper 1 and writing down common qs with their mark schemes is so helpful.

    hey! thank you so much for the videos! i do all 3 same subjects as you (biology, maths and psychology), nice to know someone who does since nobody from my sixth form as the same combo😭. i’m quite content with maths, and biology is challenging but interesting so i seem to be doing alright, but psychology is a mess!😭 i love your videos and find them so helpful, do you know when you’ll make your psychology tips video please? thank you so much❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

    hey! thank you so much for this very informative video although my exam board is different to yours, i'm still able to use the same study techniques for my own revision aid! i was just wondering if you're able to make a similar video as this but for psychology a level as i find revising for psychology a tad bit hard and was wondering if there are any tips you have. Thank you so much!! loving all your videos! 🥰❤

    Hi Nessa, thanks for these useful tips. I will definitely try these tips especially the repetition of papers because I have tried this tip of repeating questions from your maths video and it has helped me so much. Also, I know I am very late but do you still have your maths proofs that you talked about in your maths video? I would really appreciate it because I have my year 12 maths mock in about a week and I struggle with proofs so much. thank you so much!!
