I used this as a 'filler subject' mostly cos I like science and wanted to use it as an extension on top of Biology. The subject itself is super easy (I got a band 6) but it scales mid or horribly depending on what mark u get. The way this subject is designed enables ppl to tailor it however way they want, so I studied it same way I did bio in terms of doing past papers etc.

As for the specific course content, all I did was make a google doc which I consistently updated and revised throughout the term that included all the modules (it ended up being like 120 pages). When it came closer to exams, I used that big doc as a resource as well as youtube videos and class resources to make a small doc specific to the topics being assessed in that task (ended up being around 20 to 30 pages).

Investigating science is also a subject that relies on remembering certain facts, figures and concepts. I memorised my stuff by 1. doing A LOT of past papers - look up 'thsc' for other school papers. 2. making my own notes- don't rely on other peoples notes. as you write stuff down, your commiting it to your own memory. 3. My personal study technique- using palm cards. write important points on palm cards and read.

The subject is pretty easy to do well in. Just make sure you can maintain a high grade since the scaling is bumcheeks

Hello, your advice is amazing and would it be okay if you can send me your investigating science notes and the trial papers you did for it. It would be great.
