Went from an E to an A in 5 months because of your videos. Thanks sir

This is absolutely true!! Past papers are indeed vital to getting good grades.

[@kpensy545]

Absolutely a game changer for the preparation of my A levels not just for physics thanks sir.... This is a A** secret of top student

[@JM-pg6bq]

Sir, this is amazing! You helped me get a 9 in GCSE physics. I appreciate you ❤️

How did u revise

Congrats man this really motivates, I’m doing mine soon wish me luck

[@olivercripps6143]

@@JM-pg6bq is that it no notes flashcards blurting etc if so thank you very much

[@JM-pg6bq]

@@olivercripps6143 If you have not made flashcards, there's no point in making them - I'm being real with you, you can watch YT clips and they'll explain things in a lot of detail & do a better job than flashcards! If you need to learn content, watch video clips from this channel and then once you have watched the clip you can do some blurting/recall of everything you learnt from the video(s). Once you are confident on the content, get onto some exam questions. Really look into dissecting the mark scheme as they can be very specific - that's where people lose marks as they know the content and have put the correct answer but it may not have been worded in the right way. Hope this helps & Good luck.

I am doing AQA Foundation GCSE in September 2022 and I am currently looking for past papers and really grateful for all y'all KZbin tutors. I am learning so much from them as a mature student getting back to learning so, very grateful. Thank you so much Sir for all your help.

[@PhysicsOnline]

Best of luck!

Push yourself to do higher. Also are you year 10 or 11?

[@razzyysf8435]

my main problem is that it’s hard to do papers when u don’t know the content off by heart

[@khabibsson7122]

I struggle with that as well, I recommend reading through notes/watching videos on the things u don’t understand beforehand and then doing past papers

Thank you so much for making this video, you gave some brilliant advice in this video such using the mark scheme to see where you have gone wrong and where you can improve and with the examiners report to see how they want you to lay out the answer and structure itThank you so much once again!!! Even though I’ve left school, I still use your videos to learn physics as a part time hobby. I do some past papers and questions and I’ve gone from a GCSE grade 3 to grade 5 in 6 months with some of the past papers I am doing ! And that is down to your hard work, dedication, determination, time and effort which you put into making these fantastic KZbin videos about physics. 😊👍

[@PhysicsOnline]

That is awesome to hear, especially about the improvement in your grade!

[@Xxxkska]

My least expected grade went from a 3 to a 4 lol, I get like grade 6-8, haven't gotten a nine yet

[@sarujan02thangavel93]

Best Advice ever !!! Thank you very much Sir Lewis.

[@gddanielk8491]

I take Biology and it’s the only subject where when I do past papers I think something in my head, trick myself to not write it even though it’s in the mark scheme to not waste time and lose marks even though I knew the answer it’s like some witchcraft or something.

[@FarVern]

Thank you so much. I’m studying for my gcse now and I think this is so true and these tips would really help my revision so again sir. I thank you 🙏

[@fudailahmed1292]

If I do past papers from other boards... aren't the mark schemes going to be slightly different? So will I be at disadvantage? Or can I follow the mark schemes of other boards too? P.S. I do AQA

[@PhysicsOnline]

They will be slightly different - but the big advantage you'll have is that you see so many more questions on the topics you will be assessed on for AQA.

[@yeehaw9354]

so from now I’ve started to revise hard for my a level exams and i need to know if it’s possible to go from a C to an A, like is that a realistic goal?

[@PhysicsOnline]

That is possible! It’s down to you to keep working at it.

does this also apply to past papers by topic because I am about to do my last term of year 10 and I haven’t done the whole course yet

[@anonymooseuser2150]

Hey sir, I’m a year 12 student, studying OCR A physics and am bordering on a B/C. How can I be predicted an A? Is it still possible for me to achieve at least a grade A for AS and A level?

[@PhysicsOnline]

It's still possible - you have months until your exams and you can make a big change in that time

[@sisyphus645]

[@mdaniels6311]

What do you mean there aren't many available? You can get all past papers from the last ten years or so.

[@gddanielk8491]

Don’t do past papers before you know content though thats pointless! You do papers to consolidate learning not to learn the content. If you don’t know the answers study mark schemes and notes first then go back to it!
