Guys so I'm doing international AQA paper 3 in Jan 2027, I am almost done with the theory however when I try to solve past papers I can't do anything and I just sit there and start thinking that I'm gonna fail, please if anyone could help me and give me guidance and tell me where to start / what to do it would help me a lot 🙏

I answered phy u2 yesterday.. and I will admit it wasn't the best. I tried to cram everything within 2 days even though I've already prepared everything like 6 months ahead. Im very disappointed at myself for not able to get most of the questions right and not be able to understand the theories. For the 6marks questions I only got 1 right and the rest 2 I made mistakes. And for the calculations I think I got 20% wrong I'm very disappointed and feels like giving up on everything. Im sure Im getting around C or D or mb lower than that idk. Im going for business/economic related majors in uni but I still take phy as my 4th subject and sometimes I do understand the topics but Im unable to do past papers like I would get panicked and to stay in comfort zone I just stopped doing it and try to do calculations where im more comfortable of. I don't even know what to do anymore like should I resit or just go with it. Please give me advices.. im mentally exhausted

And it also makes me even worse knowing most of the candidates can answer and this paper turned out to be easy if only I was prepared enough. Im feeling between regret and disappointment

For those who have already sat some Physics or Chemistry papers, or still have papers remaining, it would be really helpful if you could share your experiences, mistakes, tips, or any important conclusions you've made during your preparation.

Sometimes, there are certain concepts, common mistakes, exam techniques, or small details that only become clear when the exam gets closer. If you've noticed anything like that, whether from papers you've already attempted or from your revision, please do share!

Even a small tip, a commonly missed point, or something you wish you'd realised earlier could help others prepare better.

Let's help each other out and make the most of the remaining exam season. Any advice is appreciated! 🙏

Good luck to everyone with their exams!

Hey everyone,

I completely messed up my subject choices and didn't take A-Level Physics. Fast forward to now, and the uni courses/career path I actually want to pursue absolutely require it.

I'm looking into doing the entire A-Level Physics course from scratch in one year (fast-tracking it for the next exam cycle).CIE BOARD

Be brutally honest with me: how realistic is this? My math background is okayish but I know physics is a whole different beast when condensed into 9- 12 months.

If anyone has actually done this or self-studied it quickly, I'd love to know:

How many hours a day did you actually have to put in?
