Use the subject specific flash cards regularly to improve recall of key facts Do online past papers at home and mark them. Papers and mark schemes for each unit are easily downloadable from the Edexcel website: http://qualifications.pearson.com/en/support/support‐topics/exams/past‐papers.html Make a set of revision index cards to break down information Making mind maps can help your brain to remember key ideas remember First letter mnemonics e.g. “Richard Of York Gave Battle in Vain” to help remember the order of colours in the rainbow Helpful websites: Unit 1 (B1, C1 & P1): www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/science/edexcel Unit 2 (B2, C2 & P2): http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/science/add_edexcel Unit 3 (B3, C3 & P3): http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/science/triple_edexcel
