Hey guys, most of us have exams coming up so, what do you think is the best way to prepare for the sciences? Do past papers and learn from your mistakes there or make notes based on the dot points? Thank you!

Both. Depending on how close the exams are it may be too late to make your own notes. But leave past papers until you are reasonably confident with most the syllabus.

They're about two weeks away, so I might just make notes for Chem and then attempt past papers later :)) thank you

Haha, top ten selective. And lol I'm a massive procrastinator, and I think making notes would be worthwhile even at this late stage because I'd learn more from making them than from reading them if that makes sense.

First day back, fair enough. Mine are slightly later in the term.
