3. Work through each worked example without looking; then compare methods.
4. Attempt all practice questions, time yourself for exam technique, and mark answers against provided solutions.
5. For organic mechanisms and spectroscopy, draw structures and practice peak/fragment assignments.
6. Create summary sheets of equations, reagent tests, and mechanism steps.
7. Use spaced repetition (Anki) for facts, reagent lists, and spectral values.
8. Do past A-level papers under exam conditions and review errors by topic.
