Evidence-based strategies that actually work. Each technique is backed by cognitive science research and tailored to Science revision — covering Biology, Chemistry, and Physics.
Test yourself, don’t just re-read. Brain dumps and self-quizzing beat highlighting every time — essential for recalling equations, definitions, and processes under exam pressure.
SchedulingSpread it out over days and weeks. Short sessions with gaps between them lock knowledge of chemical reactions, biological processes, and physics laws into long-term memory.
TerminologyScience is packed with precise terminology — mitosis, electrolysis, specific heat capacity. Master definitions and key facts with systematic flashcard drilling.
Words and picturesCombine words and visuals. Labelled cell diagrams, circuit symbols, and reaction pathways stick far better than text alone — and AQA expects you to draw them.
Physics equations, chemistry calculations, and biology data analysis — at least 20% of your marks depend on mathematical skills. Practise rearranging, substituting, and using standard form.
Practical skillsthe exam board has 21 required practicals across Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. You must know the method, variables, hazards, and how to evaluate results for each one.
Write like it’s the real thing. Practise under timed conditions and self-mark against mark schemes to understand exactly what examiners are looking for.
StrategyWork through complete past papers question by question, analysing mark schemes and examiner reports to understand exactly how marks are awarded.
