A*A* Coordinated Sciences Active Recall Notes

Document preview thumbnail
Preview 4 out of 198 pages

A*A* Coordinated Sciences IGCSE Active Recall An active recall document that has all the information from each unit in terms of questions. You can highlight the questions red, green or orange based on how well you know the answers and you can also change the text colours of the answers to white so you cannot see them and only can when you need to check your answers. This allows you to actively recall information and do amazing in your exams. Using only these notes I got a double A*A* in the IGCSE coordinated sciences course. This document is the entire course and two years worth of work.
