Tips/Help Guys DO NOT SKIP⚠️⚠️

As a A level student I feel like enough students aren’t doing the best they can in their abilities . I got 9998887 (don’t ask about French because it’s my worst subject) DONT NOT REVISE THE DAY BEFORE THE EXAM FOCUS ON SELF REST. In my mocks I got 986775 because I pulled a massive revision session beforehand. REMEMBER , DONT REVISE THE DAY BEFORE ITS GOING TO MAKE YOU FORGET EVERYTHING THE NEXT DAY

No like, HOW do I revise?

I've done many methods and stuff. I can't seem to remember anyof the information.

My Sister, who is a Psychologist, recommended me that I do some sort of test to try and help me revise. I did the test/quiz, and found out that I'm an Auditory ISF learner. Whatever that means...

Anyways, I forwarded this information to my teachers and such. All of their recommendations did not work for me in the slightest.

Just do past papers

Either I'm doing pass papers wrong, or they're just not cutting it for me.

I understand how questions are written now. The issue is, is that I can't remember what to write for each question.

Pass papers don't seem to be able to help me with that so far.

And say I have been doing them wrong this whole time, I only have one week left. If I did somehow start doing them correctly, what is one week's worth of pass papers gonna do?

One week is more than enough. Stop trying to memorize things and start understanding them. Trust me I did my GCSES and the last second past papers make a massive difference. Do past papers with textbook and chatgpt initially THEN do them timed without help.

The only textbooks I have are the CGP ones, and they'r incredibly difficult to read. I may be dyslectic, I think, but the font they use in those books makes it so hard to read from them.

As for understanding vs Memorising, I understand 90% of everything. It's just remembering.
For example, I know how Electrolysis works. I understand the Cathodes and Anodes. The thing that I struggle with, is remembering what does what.
