4. Use Doddle to revise all the required practicals
Top Tip 1:
Use Doddle to revise all the required practicals
Doddle has a mini quiz for every required practical
Log on, click on KS4 Topics, then choose “practical quiz” in the drop down view box

5. Memorise the Physics equations and practise solving questions
Top Tip 2:
Memorise the Physics equations and practise solving questions
The full list of equations will be put onto SMHW for you OR you can access them in Doddle
Print them off to make them into flashcards and memorise them, testing yourself EVERY DAY
Practise using them : log on and complete the Doddle quiz

6. Top Tip 3:
Check you understand the meanings of the “working scientifically ” vocabulary
You may already have been given this by your teacher
It will be put onto SMHW before half term
Read and familiarise yourself with the vocabulary

7. Top Tip 4: Buy a revision guide so you can spend your time practising questions NOT making notes
GCP revision guides – available on Amazon or through GCP website
Practise Paper 1 questions – specimen papers on AQA website: eg for Combined Science:
