Hey guys,

So I have my exams coming up in a month. I'll be giving A2 Physics, A2 Biology and A2 Chemistry. I did 4 subjects at AS Level and got 4 As. I'm aiming to get 3A*s this time InshaAllah. However, I haven't put in maximum effort this year and thus I'm really worried. I'm done with almost half the past papers & the entire syllabus for Physics and Chemistry (just need to do revision and practice more of paper 5) but I'm still trying to finish the Biology syllabus and I have past papers left. Do you guys think I'll be able to get those A*s? I really need them for my admission into the university I desire to go to. Please give some suggestions/tips as to what I should do for these particular subjects.

Waalaikumassalam..
You will in-sha'Allah. Just keep practicing pastpapers. And do refer marking schemes and examiner reports. Examiner reports are really good, they tell you what the examiners are looking for..

And ofcourse, duasss. Because they do miracles. Make sure not to miss your 5 daily prayers.

Good Luck!

I am sorry this is not related to your question but can you tell me the marks you used to get in biology and chemistry (if you don't mind) and whether the practical was hard or not. Please if you have any quick notes could please send them??

By marks, did you mean the AS component marks I scored last year? The AS practicals weren't extremely hard for Biology and Chemistry but yeah in order to do well your school should have made you do at least a few papers in the labs so you get an idea of how the experiments are usually asked. Moreover, do read a lot of the marking schemes and examiner reports for paper 3, they help a lot.

Yes the component marks, but I feel the chemistry practical is kind of hard.
