Hi my loves <3 I received As and A*s at A level (bio, chem and psychology) - I have sooo many notes for every single topic so please do DM me x

It’ll be at a very low value just to cover my matchas at uni lmao

I’m running out of time on going over the same topics before my A levels. I’m also a retake student since last year when I tried doing my A levels, I completely forgot everything

I’ve tried to stop it but my mind genuinely wonders and I can’t stop it as soon as I wake up BOOM a scenario idk what to do I’m so helpless

I have my exams in 2 weeks and i would say i have a good idea of all the chapters from 13-19, but i really don't have any concrete notes to follow. I love biology but since i don't have notes it takes me so much time and i considered watching otterbio and writing notes by myself. but due to my adhd i really could never watch more than a video and write notes simultaneosly. it would really be helpful if someone shared their notes with me from otterbio.

I need summaries or mind map for 9700 biology AL

Does anyone have any idea what's comming in p33? Like what are the 'prediction' iykwim

Does anyone have tips to get an A* for ocr a? I've seen lots of YouTube videos where they all say the same thing (to do as many past papers as you can). And while I agree, I was wondering since I'm having difficulties with content, should I just move on to papers now and come back to content after identifying mistakes?

My grade tends to fluctuate a lot. No idea why but it's really inconsistent so not helpful. I got a B in my first mock in Year 12, then an A. Year 13 I got an B again on an AS level paper then got a C in another mock and now an A*. Same type of revision done, same amount of time. Nothing different so I have no idea why.

Also any other tips will be greatly appreciated!

I saw another post on here recently where someone’s school threatened to remove them from exams bc of poor attendance.

I have around 2 weeks left of school. My attendance is 85%. (87% if you include lates), I go to grammar school. My attendance was bad ( 80%) during year 11 and year 12 bc my immune system got very weak, still have no idea why, ive been to my gp and private healthcare but I haven’t got any formal reason, but back then my school didn’t really care about attendance too much, the most I got was an email. However, this year apparently they are taking it more seriously. I’ve mainly been missing lessons recently, and that is bc we have covered all the content for maths. I only miss maths lessons , anytime I have bio or chem I go into school. I have an offer for A* A A and I received March mock grades of DDE. BUT that was only bc I hadn’t revised all the content, now after revising all the content I have been consistently at high Bs in my subjects past papers for a week now. I have one month to go from Bs to A* A A. And skipping 2 days of school a week is rlly helping me. If I skip in total 4 days of school across the next 11 school days can I be removed from my a level exams? I do edexcel maths, OCR bio and chem. and my first exam is June 2nd.

Help! Im in year 12, taking 4 subjects- biology, chemistry, psychology, and art. I think im going to fail both biology and chemistry. I'm autistic and get autistic burnout like crazy, so I miss a lot of school, and so I miss lots of tests and lessons. That means they don't have a lot of data on how I'm doing in my subjects- which means they find my predicted grades and stuff super difficult to make. School is supporting me the best they can.

Anyway, now onto the failing part.

I have my end of year mocks that are used to predict my grades and move me onto year 13 on Monday- ending on Friday. I've been revising and doing exam questions but nothing is getting into my head. I'm just so stuck. I can't remember anything. And the exam questions are just so difficult and I can't wrap my head around what they're asking for a lot of the time. I have no idea what to do. I haven't even started on chemistry revision- which is my last exam on Friday afternoon. Don't even talk about psychology either omg, I'm doing well in that but I haven't touched it either. I don't know what to do I think I'm going to fail both of them- but then what- because they won't let me take 2 a levels. They did say I'll have the chance to retake my mocks in may or June if I fail, but I just don't think I'll even be able to do well then either. And I can't choose between biology and chemistry, so what will I do?!

Someone please help me I'm so stuck and I'm finding it all really difficult and I'm so lost.

This is my 2 nd time giving biology a level exam after getting a U in last session and for last session my main focus was content i learned all the content with the help of otter bio tutor in youtube i did past papers buts very few i need to get like a C atleast share some tips please what do to should i straight up to pastpapers like i did 1-2 topical questions each for 2 and the reason why i got a U was a2 i passed as but not a2 so overall it came as a U i got 74 total i think e was 76 or 80 i forgot but the thing is im kinda all over the place and idk what to do cause i have another a level exam so how do i balance like the thing is how do i get a C in bio if u have any revision notes for bio do share mainly for p5 and p3 and as for p2 and p4 which carry the heaviest marks what do i do. I just do like past papers with the help of ms like a active recall but idk

So I’m struggling w As biology and was wondering if anyone from A2 had their p2 transcripts w them from the 2025 exams and could share them w me!

I tried to look for candidate responses as the examiners grade pretty strictly however only ones from 2016 are available😭😭

For those 6 mark evaluation paragraphs where they give you a Fig, how do you make sure to score most marks. I always get 1 or 2 out of 6 marks. What key words or are there any tips on how to tackle them?

I also struggle simple graph questions. I do OCR A
