Do you have a good certain source I can benifit from (links please? :mrgreen: ) How do I stick to my desk and actually keep studying without getting distracted all the time.
Please help and thanks !

Go through the whole syllabus once or twice ! Once you see the topics are on your finger tips, start Pure both for P1 or P2. Or either do it topic wise . Then

finally jump to the past papers, solving them ( consulting examiner reports esp) ... Try to solve questions given at the end of the chapter !
Hope that will help you !

i) cover and revise a topic .
ii) solve the questions at the end of chapter without help
iii) then move to past papers Classified Physics.
(It starts from year 1977 to date although some are not related but you can see huge practice)It contains both MCQs and structured questions.
iv) then finally do the past papers from 2002-onwards.

Note: a) If you are appearing in Nov/2010 then you must have to cover at most three days.
b) Any problem relating to questions just post and i will solve it.
c) if you feel time is less then just skip option iii but for A* it is mandatory .

Thanks a lot I will and I'm going to see what this "Classified Physics" thing is.

 

[Mhm]

If you really really really want an A this time around you should stick to your desk I agree music can help you concentrate ... I used to watch alot of tv while practicing past papers ... So if there is any series you like, you can watch that and practice questions

And btw as you don't have alot of time left just revise the syllabus and do yearly past papers with marking schemes and examiner's report
Do check exainer's report for practicals as well!

Best of luck
