How do I study for Biology, Chemistry and Physics (O Levels)?

Hey guys,

How do I study for the O Level Sciences? I have started doing pastpapers, and have already revised most of the syllabus. How many years of pastpapers do I have to do? I was told to solve pastpapers from 2000-2010, and have already finished them till 2006. Is this enough? I still need to take help from the marking schemes for certain questions, and I still tend to make mistakes when solving the pastpapers (which is scary, because the CIE's are just around the corner). How are you guys studying for the sciences? I need effective learning methods, so if you could tell me what you are doing for the CIE's this year, I would be grateful :)

I've been facing problems as well it was better for u if you did 2007-end cuz the syllabus is the same b4 that it was different , and its okay for now to make mistakes and go to the mark scheme , keep one year you solve it as if ur doing the exam don't touch any book or mark scheme while doing it and see where your stuck and focus on those point and btw how many subjects are u taking this session?

I think that a great idea! I might just do that... My teachers have been a great help, so I've been going to them for the post-mock classes. I am taking 8 subjects: Bio, Chem, Physics, Socio, Maths, English Language, English Literature and Urdu. What about you?

Same, I make really stupid mistakes. :\
Good luck.
You know i'm also trying past papers and i have a problem of skipping questions that i think are easy and in reality i make mistake solving them(Silly ones)
But i think this is because i'm relaxed at home and i'll attempt papers more seriously In CIE and there will be lesser chance of silly errors
:D

You're right though. I always do the paper more seriously when I am in a serious environment. And I've been making SO many silly mistakes in Chemistry recently. Guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens :/ I can't WAIT for this examination session to be over!
