Are revision guides a scam?

[avenox]

I just don’t see how I’m going to get any knowledge in Chemistry with this book, past papers make much more sense and are free.

Should I just sell it somewhere?

I got a CGP gcse higher chemistry

 

[Former Shortcel]

CGP books were a life saver for me, they pretty much include all the knowledge you need from the specification

I would recommend just reading through them and then spamming past papers

 

[unfortunatehobbies]

cgp books were good but never that useful. i just used other people's in the hours before the exam to cram.

past papers and gpt were the way.

crazy how the tat only controls 21% of burma

and that was like a year ago or something im pretty sure

thank god shit tat will come to an end soon

 

[swaggers]

crazy how the tat only controls 21% of burma

Yeah, they control the major cities though

I feel like the wars at a stalemate right now, not much land is being lost and not much land is being gained

I think eventually the rebels will overrun junta defenses - but it'll take a really long time, the tat have good defenses in the major cities (and due to the fact that theyre CITIES, they can actually use their BMPs and stuff)

Tats only strength is the cities and mainly their airforce

some rebels will gain land but they cant hold it brcause the junta will just send a fighter jet to bomb the area hence them having to retreat back to their original positionz

Yeah, i remembe rseeing a video of a rebel shooting a tat helicopter with an rpg though

I think theyre also starting to get things like MANPADs, so fingers crossed they'll get good AA defenses

if you have the video, do you mind sending me it?

Yeah they get alot of public funding and they are starting to produce their own guns because i saw in a reddit post they had a factory or warehouse that males guns, they also 3d print them too. But right now most of their gear is just loot taken from dead enemy soldiers

and sorry what did AA mean again?

 

[swaggers]

and sorry what did AA mean again?

Anti Air

Basically im saying i hope they will get anti air defenses

if you have the video, do you mind sending me it?

Saw it on reddit a year or two ago idk where it is now

nd they are starting to produce their own guns because i saw in a reddit post they had a factory or warehouse that males guns, they also 3d print them too

Yeah they have alot of 3d printed / home made guns
I think they make some guns from spare parts that they loot from junta warehouses as well

Yo that's crazy I haven't don't anything yet, u think I got time to lock in (year 11) I can give u my mock results but idek know how to revise (haven't revised since year 9)

 

[unfortunatehobbies]

know how to revise (haven't revised since year 9)

you're pretty fucked if you're not getting 7+ at this point without revising

if you are getting 7+ with minimal revision, then getting 9s is easy with past papers and some chatgpt.

i studied consistency (not necessarily proper revision) for most class tests and then one big concerted revision effort in april did the trick.

idk about this one i always found that the act of physically writing the notes is what makes you learn. combine with ppq and you will be good.

gpt method is just testing yourself back and forth using gpt. i had exams a little earlier just as genai was coming out so the software was rudimentary but none of that silly premium shit back then.
