Salaam SZM,
I suggest u must not waste ur time and effort asking questions around here that might not lead to improvement in performance - the summer exams r not far.
I m having exams in jan so busy - hop u get it.
Chemistry Unit 1 is the easiest module i ever came across. As u said u go for a group class - ask ur teacher to help u with the Physics and Biology Unit 1. Seriously, u r taking group classes to help clear ur doubts in the specification areas u don't understand, not the ones u hav already covered. Even though ur teacher teaches Chemistry unit 1 in class, u must always study the other theory units at home and then go over and get ur doubts cleared from ur teacher.
Sorry, I don't have the SNAB and SHAP books.
Do u already have the official Edexcel Science student books? If yes, will u hav time to study from the Edexcel SNAB and SHAP books as well?
Get the Edexcel Science Revision Guides and revise through them. This combined with the Student books is hopefully enough. You will get a better idea of the key concepts for the Biology and Physics unit 1 from the Edexcel Revision Guides.
Why do u need the SNAB and SHAP textbooks?? Did u read and understand the text within those books? If yes, u can also understand the concepts in the official Edexcel textbooks u already have, can u not?
Try to put the effort in - it won't just happen! By mentioning this i don't mean that u hav to get tensed. Try reading small bits everyday with a fresh mind.
When i decided to self-study, i even decided to deal with any problems i will come across as a result. If u get lazy by reading, u can't just give up, can u? If u choose to self-study, try putting in the effort to understand what the book says. After all, u r studying science subjects that r based on explained reasoning of theories and laws. If u cannot understand what u r reading the first time around, read it again. But select only a section of text to read and understand and when u will understand it, then only u can move onto the next text. If u hav covered the Chemistry unit 1 specification, move onto unit 2 and understand it as well in the same way u tried to understand chem unit 1.
I use the same method that i hav explained earlier - no particular method otherwise. Just understand, understand and understand. Seek help through teachers. And move onto getting some work done instead of looking for methods and books. I don't use any tutorials - even though i download any video tutorials from the internet, i don't get the time to hav a look at them at all!!
It is good to know that u r taking exams in may. Just study well. Do not procrastinate! Get some real work done.
